| 558670 | 2007-06-13 03:20:00 | Is there a plugin for windows media player to play youtube video files? I have downloaded a few vids using www.downloadyoutube.biz (www.downloadyoutube.biz) and other ones like vixy.net (http:) which converts it to wmp format,but the vixy.net conversion is very bad quality. the video is grainy. when i use www.downloadyoutube.biz and other ones that don't convert,they are great quality and they play fine in the free flv player,but not in windows media player. | lance4k (4644) | ||
| 558671 | 2007-06-13 03:53:00 | So you want to play .flv vids in WMP. Not likely. often renaming them .mpg and installing this (www.free-codecs.com) will work though. Unfourtuntley it seems WMP just won't play flv files. :badpc: | wratterus (105) | ||

| 558673 | 2007-06-13 08:01:00 | You don't NEED a stand-alone FLV player. I've recommended it a few times so for consistencies sake, download and install ffdshow (www.free-codecs.com)* and WMP should render FLV files fine. If not, try changing the file extension to AVI. I'm not sure if this works as I don't have WMP installed on my Vista system. VLC media player ( but you can't seek. GOM Player (http://www.gomplayer.com/main.html" target="_blank">www.videolan.org/) also plays FLV files "out of the box" but you can't seek. GOM Player (http:) is similar in this instance but I haven't it before. *as long as you haven't previously installed another codec pack like the K-Lite one recommended above, which I recommend against. |
