| 327510 | 2005-02-23 12:05:00 | Regarding Media Player Classic, there is a tidy package called XP Codec Pack (http://www.xpcodecpack.com/) which installs all needed codecs and Media Player Classic. Plays all media files, afaik. | sal (67) | ||
| 327511 | 2005-02-23 13:48:00 | Does that mean someone who already has Windows Media Player & Quicktime installed (me for instance) could download XP Codec Pack plus Media Player Classic and then uninstall the first two? I know WMP lodges itself all over the place and QT keeps sneaking back into the startup list, so I guess they wouldn't leave without a struggle. But if a true uninstall is possible - without registry editing - will the codec pack & Classic truly play everything? Or is that too good to be true? |

| 327512 | 2005-02-23 23:47:00 | I couldn't say. I have both WMP10 and QT/iTunes installed as well as the XP Codec Pack, the only reason I use Media Player Classic is because it loads ALOT quicker than both the other two. | sal (67) | ||
| 327513 | 2005-02-24 00:13:00 | Just checked, and yes, it does work without WMP/QT/REAL. However things like browser plugins, which are usually installed with WMP/QT/REAL dont exist. It's better just to keep those programs on hand anyway (except for maybe real). | sal (67) | ||
| 327514 | 2005-02-24 05:01:00 | I'd go for VLC player, it can stream too. www.videolan.org It starts much faster than WMP9 or 10 and isn't a memory hog. |
