Hey again (!)

After starting up a new install, Ive completely ditched Windows Media Player and opted for Media Player Classic. . . which is working great unless its playing WMVs - I get a "cannot render file"

Now I had this before, when I had Windows Media Player and K-lite mega codec pack - now I have just MPC + K-Lite Full Codec pack (more updated than the last codec pack).

Ive searched google and the only solution Ive found was untick the WM ASF reader for windows media files, but that didnt work.

The other solution was to install windows media player . . . which kinda defeats the purpose.

Any ideas, before I grudgingly install Windows Media Player?

what are these wmv files

mpc wont be able to handle any wmv file if it has any drm protection

does sound more like a compatibility problem though

all sorted now, thanks anyway
