Did the codecs once again change?? I have Windows Media Player 10 with ffdshow codec installed which I though was the latest codec for playing .avi files. If someone could enlighten me on this. BTW, I also read the discussion about the codecs and still I have not solved my problem. Also, I downloaded Matroska and I have no idea what I'm doing with that. Please Help Thanks

To play files in matroska container you need to install the matroska splitter or alternatively choose a media player which has the functionality built in (such as mediaplayer classic). Matroska splitter can be found here: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=82303 For the other problem, I suggest you update your ffdshow to the latest version. Files encoded with h264 have been notorius about codec version changes.

Then there must be some crazy way to integrate them into Windows Media Player that nobody knows. Eventually I stopped trying to find it.
