How to play .Mov files in WMP by J.J on 06-11-2005 at 02:41 PM
I am wondering if there is a plugin for Windows Media Player, or something i can do, to get WMP to play .mov files
Does anyone know?

There is is codec called Quicktime Alternative, but I would just use Quicktime...
Ps: Version 7 is in public beta!

You can get a codec pakc but its quite hard to find. Google around for the K-Lite Mega Codec Pack. If you use torrents it shouldnt be hard to find it from a well known site
The codec pack contains DivX, XviD and other codecs for windows media player

Just choose everything, it's not that big of files really, and it's always better to have em all

Thanks anyway guys

No, you can not play .mov files in Windows Media Player. If you get QuickTime Alternative it will work in Media Player Classic (a modded version of an old Windows Media Player). There is no workaround for .mov files in normal Windows Media Player.
