How to upgrade Windows Media Player codecs

Intel/Ligos Indeo Interactive 5.0 (IV50)

Where can I find these CODECS for Windows Media Player Version 11 for Windows Vista updates?  Without them, some of my old files .avi not work or work properly.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi KenF,

The links are in my answer above:

All you need is good Codec - get these if 32-bit.

-Free - CCCP also get free tool of insurgents
http://CCCP-project.NET/

FFDSHOW - free
http://sourceforge.NET/projects/ffdshow/

Check here:

Plug-ins for Windows Media Player

---------------------------------------

VLC needs, of no use so usually Codec as a backup when asked to support associations of files just say no.

VLC - free

-------------------------------------------------------------

If 64 bits and you need codec.

Read this 1st and go that route, or use the one below. (Vista or Windows 7)

http://www.Vistax64.com/sound-audio/152850-Vista-codec-pack-32bit-64bit-Media-Player-codecs.html

--------------------------------------------------------------------

If 64-bit - can run WMP in 32 or 64 bit mode.

Or try these: download - SAVE - go to the place where your put them RIGHT CLICK – RUN AS ADMIN.

For 32-bit use these - OR the 32 bit ones listed above which I prefer.

K - Lite Codec Pack 7.1.X (or newer)
http://www.codecguide.com/

Use them for 64-bit:

K - Lite Codec Pack (64-bit) 4.6.X (or newer)
http://www.codecguide.com/

-------------------------------------------------------------
You know that you use WMP 32 or 64

Change, change or set 64 - Bit Windows Media Player 11 (WMP11) in Windows Vista x 64 as default

-------------------------------------------------------------

And you can use it when necessary because no codex is usually required.

I hope this helps.
