Codex for WMP Classic

[Guest c_bennett__@nospamwebtv.net]

I had the url for the old Classic Player but I seem to have deleted or

lost. Been thru CNET and Download.com and grown tired of being redirected.

The MSN site is hopeless. Anyone happen to have handy?

 

Thanks......

It depends on what you really mean.

 

What is sometimes referred to as the "classic" Windows Media Player from Microsoft

is Windows Media Player 6.4:

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/version64/default.aspx

 

There is also a non-Microsoft media player with considerably greater functionality,

called Media Player Classic, which I use and recommend:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media_Player_Classic

and

I believe 6.4 is the "classic".

 

MS do have a few new codecs that you MAY need for that version -

or did a year or two ago, but you're on your own AFA finding

them on the MS site.

Better yet, this is the link you'd use with Win98, to skip the "validation":

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/forpros/format/codecdownload.aspx

Scroll to the page bottom.

 

Direct download:

http://download.microsoft.com/download/4/6/1/461e47d9-bff9-4d3f-b97c-93476581f6ef/wmp6cdcs.exe

Got it. Thanks much.

 

BTW..this may be old hat to the folks here, but, I discovered that WMP

6.4 was

already on my pc, in the Win OS itself.

 

Start>Run>mplayer2.exe ---and up it pops. Had I known that I would not

have posted to start. Found that out on one of the d/l sites.

 

Again, thanks...
