    Still can NOT play WMV files just MPG

    I still can NOT play WMV just MPG's files. I updated to IRFANVIEW 4.10 still can not play WMV.. Windows media play plays WMV just fine... IRFANVIEW still wants a plug in.. HERE IS SOMETHING INTERESTING.. I download GOM PLAYER and it can not play WMV files either.. It to wants a codec.. It would appear that Microsoft media player has some sort of lock on WMV files... Any ideas.. I also can not play any other video formats with Irfanview just MPG's...

    First make sure you have the proper plugin package related to IV 4.10.
    The IV plugin responsable for playing MPG or WMV is 'IV_Player.exe'.

      WM/ is a terrible set of formats, created with the sole purpose to force users into downloading the Windows Media Player, and enforcing various usage restrictions. If other programs claim to "support" this set of formats, they in fact launch Media Player in the background. So you can as well launch Media Player yourself. Only ffmpeg (mplayer) is known to support WMA and WMV by itself.
