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
http://www.Microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/plugins.aspx
---------------------------------------
VLC needs, of no use so usually Codec as a backup when asked to support associations of files just say no.
VLC - free
http://www.videolan.org/VLC/
-------------------------------------------------------------
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
http://www.mydigitallife.info/2007/01/19/switch-change-or-set-64-bit-Windows-Media-Player-11-WMP11-in-Windows-Vista-x64-as-default/
-------------------------------------------------------------
And you can use it when necessary because no codex is usually required.

I hope this helps.

original title: green screen recently started in windows media player for Vista 64-bit.
It works very well for some videos (like those recorded uncompressed, or some codecs) but a single codec that I save it as coming out of Sony Vegas (Windows Media video V11) goes green screen with playback of the sound.

Please note only once;

Hi patriciabrown,
Windows Media Format Runtime 11 is for people who want to use the latest Windows Media Player codecs without installing Windows Media Player 11.
Windows Media Format runtime is required for WMA (Windows Media Audio) and WMV (Windows Media Video). It is also recommended that you keep Windows player 11 and window media player 11 runtime.
You cannot install the Windows media player 12 on Windows XP because there is no standalone package out yet, and this is only available in the Windows 7 operating system.

I don't want to use the Toshiba Media Player pre-installed to play the DVD, I want to use the Windows Media Player installed. I can't change the default to WMP in the Panel DVD player as the only options are Player Toshiba or Nero.
