Play wmv & mp4

jfm · 2012-06-24, 03:52 AM

I have a new install of NPVR on Windows 7, and it doesn't play wmv or mp4 files. What codec pack should I install to play these and any others I might want to play that aren't supported in the default install?

It is a bit odd that you can't play wmv files as they are supported natively in all recent windows os.
However SAF 6 should play them using ffdshow.
Hoborg has put together just about the perfect combo of codecs - I used to always steer away from codec pacs as they usually have every codec under the sun which don't always work together nicely. Hoborg was putting together the same codecs I was finding individually in to one installer - with a few tweaks on priorities it is perfect for my setup - no need to re-invent the wheel anymore Smile
