In reply to Message (58146) Old clips and playability
By AnthonyX - anthonyx@jowc.net Mon 10/06/13 17:23:48 GMT I've been rummaging around my collection of video clips and found that a number of clips from years ago are no longer playable with current players.
I'm using Windows Media Player (version 11), VLC player (version 2.0.6) and Zune.
I am finding that some clips will play in any player, some will play in at least one player but not all (this applies to new and old clips), and some older clips will not play in any player. It's obviously due to codecs - having the right codec in the player for the file. What I'm wondering is whether there is either the option to add "legacy" codecs to one of these players, or if there is some other player that will operate on a relatively current PC (Vista) that can use the appropriate legacy codecs to play these old and otherwise unplayable clips.
