Windows Media Lite vs WMP10Lite

[slimzky]

guys, while browsing free-codecs website.. i found this codec pack w/c is i think a new release & this is their description.. i think its the same as our WMP10Lite >> http://ksphere.free.fr/site/

w/c do u think is the better pack?

Windows Media Lite .. http://www.codecguide.com/download_other.htm

Some tools (like nLite and XPlite) allow you to remove Windows Media Player from your system or even prevent it from ever being installed. The downside to this is that vital components for Windows Media playback are also removed. As a result you won't be able to play Windows Media files in your browser or in your favorite player. A solution for this problem is Windows Media Lite, which restores those vital components. This package can also be used to install the Windows Media codecs.

I'm curious about this too.

That's made by a member of these forums. I forget his username. He just made a collection of the WMP10 codecs (or runtimes) and packed them into a self-extracting EXE. It's designed to be used if either you're having playback issues with WMP or you used nlite to remove WMP10 and use a different media player and can't playback WMV / ASF files at all. I hate WMP, I recommend Media Player Classic.

well, i tested the pack Windows Media Lite 2.0 to my unattended instalation & it didnt work for me.. when itry to play WMV file, my media player classic looks for a codec i wondedr why this pack installed the files in the program files directory.. titou2k's pack installs in system32 directory.. i decided to uninstall this & use WMP10Lite again

titou2k's pack installs in system32 directory

Because that's where the codecs are supposed to go.

Use this Addon and you can still play WMV and WMA file's in your browser and with WMP Classic 6.4.8.9 (or any other release).

This addon need's to intergrated with RVM intergrator and not nLite.

Btw these are the files you need:

dxmasf.dll

msdmo.dll

msdxm.ocx

New Folder

qasf.dll

wmadmod.dll

WMASF.DLL

wmnetmgr.dll

wmp.dll

wmp.ocx

wmpdxm.dll

wmploc.dll

wmvcore.dll

wmvdmod.dll

You need to run regsvr32 on these files:

dxmasf.dll

msdxm.ocx

wmp.ocx

qasf.dll

wmp.dll

wmpdxm.dll

wmvcore.dll

wmvdmod.dll

WMADMOD.dll

wmnetmgr.dll

For the plugin to work in firefox or any other non IE browser you need to download and copy npdsplay.dll to the plugin folder.

I am sorry but this topic is superconfusing, you are having trouble with Titou2k's pack, so you decided to use WMP10Lite (=Titou2k's pack!) again?

Titou2k created WM10Lite, because of the following:

• You removed WMP9 and WMP6.4 with Nlite.
  
• Now you want to play WM Video with an alternative player like Media Player Classic.
  
• You also want to watch WM Streaming in your favourite Internet Browser (IE, Firefox, Opera) or directly in your player.

It works for everyone so far, and it works GOOD!

His website is the one mentioned in the first post:

if it didn't work for you, perhaps because you installed some other pack first or did not remove WMP and WMP6.4 with Nlite.

There is another pack out there..

Titou2k about this pack:

it is not mine. In this pack, i think that there are encode WMV codec.

I have used his pack (with Quicktime and ReaLite) for a long time on several pc's and laptops, with MPC and FFDshow, works fine, also streaming in Firefox is no problem.

what i mean is i installed Widows Media Lite (from free-codecs.com) & it didnt work so i tried WMP10 from Titou2k.
