By hitting “post reply” rather than “new thread”, I originally tacked this request onto the end of an unrelated thread (yeah, I know, not too bright). Can anybody recommend a good, preferably free MPEG player? I have Winplayer 7, and it has never worked right.
I use gdivx. plays all those annoying divx movies windows media player refuses to play even with the correct codecs.
goto download.com and search for gdivx
www.divx.com for the divx codec jsut in case you need it.
grab windows media now, its up to 9.0
and as the above mentions divx makes a pretty nice player as well.
Thank you both - I’ll give both players a try.
I’d have to strongly advise against Windows Media Player 9!!!
-It can’t be easily uninstalled.

Hrm… Those links are talking about the beta version of WMP 9. I have no idea what the full version is like.
Sorry if I gave you misinformation.
