Will Windows Media Player 11 support MP4 files?
Well according to Chris Pirillos blog it will not. Apparently there was a bug in the beta version that was filed but looks like it was ignored. You may need to buy a codec plugin for this feature.
My personal opinion is that is should be included. For us geeks we know what is going on to playback these files, and I don’t want to explain to Gma and my Aunts how to get it to run properly on their computers that they only use once a week.















I have been trying to play MP4 files on my new pc, they played for the first month and not anymore, so annoying, not knowing what to do
shutup sike i know how yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh okay kay kayyyyyyyyyyyyyy know wat im sayin boyyyyyyyyyy @ girlsssssssssssss
You don’t have to buy anything go to this link and download the k lite codec pack and install it. During the install you can tell it to associate the codecs, which includes MP4, with Windows Media Player. Works great.
Ooops… Here’s the link: http://www.codecguide.com/
Download Xvid and install it first. Then download ffdshow and install it. Then go to start-all programs-ffdshow-video decoder configuration. Change the codec for: Other MPEG4 & Generic to Xvid. That’s how I was able to play .mp4’s in wmp 11
i found itunes easier
