Play it the 64-bit way

[Guest Carlos]

Yearning for using the 64-bit WMP because the lack of decoders?

The new year has brought us an x64 version of the freeware multiformat

audio/video decoder "ffdshow".

Download it from here:

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=173941&package_id=229162

Latest version from author "albain" is dated Jan 8th, 2008

I had been using this other version:

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=173941&package_id=214245&release_id=523000

from another author, but that one has not been updated since July 2007.

It will allow you to play almost any audio/video compressed file both in WMP

and Media Center.

I must admit that I have tried it only with a few of the most common formats

with no problems at all.

If WMPx64 is too "heavy" for you, then use Windows Media Player Classic Home

Cinema x64 version.

(also freeware).
