boooggy Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 i would go for second choice..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camarade_Tux Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 You don't need to select that option.I always remove this compatibility thing and in fact, I'm more able to play wmv files than many people using regulars version of XP.All this because of titou2k which owns the second website.Btw there's a problem with this host (free.fr) : it may corrupts your downloads, especially when their servers are under a high load and you are using a download manager which is able to split your download into several pieces to download faster (you will get a corruption at the beginning of each one of these pieces).So, else download using the rapidshare mirror, else check the integrity of the downloaded file with 7-zip for instance.

Camarade_Tux Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 Have you put http://ksphere.free.fr/public/codecslite/F...a%20Plugins.rar in the plugins folder of FF ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Camarade_Tux Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 It shouldn't use ffdshow but WMV codecs present in SYSTEM32. Open ffdshow properties and disable WMV, like this:And maybe disable the other WMV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
212121 Posted June 20, 2006 Author Share Posted June 20, 2006 where did that come from???sorry i dont even know what fddshow is!thanks for your reply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camarade_Tux Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 This is main "video configuration" window for ffdshow.You can get it with this command : rundll32.exe ffdshow.ax,configureAre you able to get this window/do you have a ffdshow.ax file in SYSTEM32 ?And, have you used TTPack or WindowsMediaLite from ksphere.free.fr ?PS: for infos on ffshow, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FFDShow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
212121 Posted June 20, 2006 Author Share Posted June 20, 2006 thanks for your replay, i don't have fddshow install and i never did!i am sorry but maybe that wasn't the error message i was getting, because i tried again and the error i get when i try to view a website with a wmv video is:NPDSPLAY (window title)"can not create DirectShow Player"it's not fddshow, its "directshow", anyone knows?thanks!!!

Camarade_Tux Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 Have you checked this : http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=297172 ?The idea is to remove as much of WMP as possible and then to reinstall a codec pack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
