Codecs for WMC vista 64

[LateraLex]

I've searched around a bit and found links to install Media Control. I installed it and was able to play most of my divx/xvid files. However there are some that still give me problems, but work perfectly in windows media player. Are there any simple steps I can take to install additional codecs or configure Media Control?

Currently the file that wont play is ###.AC3.DVDRip.XviD-MEDiEVAL.avi

Thanks

You're asking us how to play pirated content on these public forums, and you even list the file name? LOL.. wow.

Just as a heads up, Xvid files play fine under VMC x64 with Koepi's Xvid 1.1.3 codec. If it still doesn't work, it's either a codec conflict, or it's simply because it's a garbage scene rip --hence "MEDiEVAL". They're pretty popular for uploading corrupt RAR's of their rips to usenet groups.

Sarcasm aside, I tried the codec you recommended, but it didn't fix the issue.

look unistall every codec you have

Install ffdshow 2300+ and you should be able to play anything.

You could just install the Combined Community Codec Pack which would let VMC play just about any kind of file you throw at it. It includes the same FFDShow codec mentioned above, plus extra codecs.
