Hi all,

I am using wmp 10 and windows xp home sr2.
I have an mp4 video file on my hard drive and wmp 10 won't play it. Is
there a plug in that I need that will allow this? Any help would be
appreciated. thanks,


You'll probably need to get the FFDShow filter, which can handle MPEG4
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=53761 or
