Video Formats

HiI have myself a new laptop!I can't remember what I installed to get all my video working on my other computer. I have a few file formats that I can't play, but on my XP system they play just fine in Windows Media Player. Right now I can't play flash video files (flv) or ogg/ogm video files.What's a really good all-around video codec pack for Windows 7? Something that just allows me to play files in media player without having to run any special players that comes with it.

I personally prefer using VLC Media Player for *.avi and *.flv videos.If you don't want to install any extra apps, then check out this thread:http://www.sevenforums.com/media-center/43...p-play-flv.html

I didn't know Windows Media Player would play .flv even if you have the codecs. Live and learn.But to answer your question install the K-Lite codec pack.But I do what Tushman does. I used to use VLC but it's too complicated, too ugly. Now I use KM PLayer. It also comes with all of the codecs.

That's what I thought initially. After doing a quick search on the net, seems like there's a "work around" solution.

I will concede that VLC doesn't have the best looking interface, but the playback quality on avi and flv videos is top notch IMHO. I have heard of KM Player - I may check it out just to see how it looks. Edited by Tushman

Media Player's been playing my FLV files on my XP system for some time now, well over a year, long enough that I can't remember how I made it that way.Thanks :thumbsup:
