Laptops & Notebooks - 4 Answers - 2010-02-14 17:01:14 Best Answer personally i dont put any stock into the computer company provided programs. its a way of keeping you stuck with them. they make these programs as a add on, and say lets provide a media player program of out own so people will already have one and not go out and buy a prfessional made one, HP DELL COMPAQ and so on, they do not know what they are doing. stick with trusted brands "quick time player" or "windows media player". All Answers Answer 1 Well what is the format of the video file? You should download VLC player, it can play videos of many formats. 2010-02-14 17:05:30 Answer 2 It probably wont play because you dont have the right codecs installed. Just download and install VLC media player. it can play almost any video / audio file. you could also install apple quicktime player.

If you do not have a media player (and it sounds as though you do not), please install MPC-HC: http://mpc-hc.sourceforge.net 2010-02-14 17:12:53 Answer 4 personally i dont put any stock into the computer company provided programs. its a way of keeping you stuck with them. they make these programs as a add on, and say lets provide a media player program of out own so people will already have one and not go out and buy a prfessional made one, HP DELL COMPAQ and so on, they do not know what they are doing. stick with trusted brands "quick time player" or "windows media player". 2010-02-14 17:13:28 |
