x264 mp4 codec for WMP 7.1?

[woodpusher]

Hi experts,

is there a codec or DirectShow plugin or something similar to make Windows Media Player 7.1 play mp4-files (H.264)?

I don't want to install a bloated Codec Pack or use a different player.

OS: Windows 2000 SP4 (vanilla)

I use ffdshow beta6 rev2527 and Combined Community Codec Pack (dated 2010-10-10) on my win2000 pc that got Pentium M 2.00ghz with WMP 7.1.

 

I can play all H264 MP4 files without problems and other formats natively on Media player.

Hi,

what's the MD5-checksum of the clean CCCP-installer (dated 2010-10-10)?

Do I really need ffdshow beta6 rev2527 additionally?

What's the best slim portable player for x264 on Win2k SP4 vanilla?
