Can you play wma's on a regular stereo? (When burned to a CD)

Hi all, sorry to bother you, I've downloaded the above hack to get DVD playback in Windows Media PLayer, and installed it, bit how do I get it to work?

I've got the DVD tab in the options page, but anymore than this I don't know

Thanx

I've got a RealMagic Hollywood Plus card in my system. I couldn''t play DVDs in Media Player before I installed the dvd pack, now I can. Thanks.

Below is some info a friend of mine had emailed me a while back. Hope it helps:

Goto:

Start::::> run:::> regedit::::>find the following key: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftMediaPlayerSettingsMP3Encoding]

"LowRate"=dword:0000dac0

"MediumRate"=dword:0000fa00

"MediumHighRate"=dword:0001f400

"HighRate"=dword:0002ee00

Edit the rates to the way you like:

320 Kbps = dword:0004e200

256 Kbps = dword:0003e800

224 Kbps = dword:00036b00

192 Kbps = dword:0002ee00

160 Kbps = dword:00027100

128 Kbps = dword:0001f400

112 Kbps = dword:0001b580

64 Kbps = dword:0000fa00

56 Kbps = dword:0000dac0
