myidisbb Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 i updates my windows media player to 9 about a year ago. i have the latest mega codex. there are some wmv/wma files and one avi (video clip) that comes up mess up colorfully viewing. is this because it was done in wmp 10 encoding? i tested those files on another computer with an older mega codex and wmp 8 on it. they where totally junk. also tested them on my kids computer that has wmp 10 and they show up fine.im pretty sure i never had this problem before that i can remember. i just d/l this files. i look at other files on my 2 internal eide h/ds and found 3 wmv files that did that too, 2 that is i used mp classic it work fine. i have looked and thought of everything i can with this. im tkaing its a wmp10 encoding thing then.have others had such problems? and is there anything i need to watch out or change in wmp10 if i install it? do you prefer wmp9 or 10? and would wmp10 fix some of those drm updates that a file asks for?

Vargas Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 since i don't have it installed i can't tell if it's an option or where to disable it BUT...you should disable "update media from the net" as that edits the ID3 tags and changes files hash and may even let MS delete/disable your files (read the EULA) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

myidisbb Posted July 16, 2005 Author Share Posted July 16, 2005 that sounds like the onemicrosoft keeps giving us nicer and more interesting stuff that we of course like and then find out its got newer and badder drm and other crap. then if we dont bite we are force too later on to install or no more security patches.
