How do you get the classic media player to play videos

I still have a problem with my computer with windows media player to play the movies & videos instead of media player classic home cinema. Someone suggested a right-click on film & in the list choose 'Open with', but when I right click on the movie once downloaded nothing happens. Is there another way to get your computer to use the Media Player Classic? Thanks, Bruce

Hi Bruce.

Right-click on the file and choosing 'Open with' does not define the default program. Instead, right click and choose Properties. When the Properties window opens, click on the button 'change '. From there, choose the desired program. Make sure that there is a check mark in the box "always use the select program to open files of this type." See the image at the link below.

    There is no option to save the video in mp4 format only. You can check on the MProot folder on your memory card for mp4 files. The. MTS files are normally saved in another folder called flow.

  • Satellite M70: How to get the Express Media Player feature?

    I M70, but I formatted it once I bought it. Now, you could tell me how to recover the function of Express Media Player? There is no setup.exe file in the Express Media Player recovery CD.

    Thank you

    Hello Weimin

    In order to use the media functions Express the Mediaplayer Express Recovery CD must be performed before performing the recovery from the recovery DVD-ROM products.
    You can't run Express Media player after performing a recovery.

    Should at least 150-200 MB of available free space on the HARD drive.
    This free space must be on the end of the HARD drive and there must be unallocated.
    To start the installation, you must boot from the recovery Express Mediaplayer CD

    Good bye
