Interesting that you aska bout WMP... I just checked and NO... my vids do not play (although they did before I started updating FFDShow) I had been using ffdshow-rev1839_20080202 until the update of GameEx to 9.71 and video quit working then(apparently only in GameEx, though I didn't think to check WMP at the time). I updated to the latest stable FFDShow thinking that was the problem and no luck. Proceeded to update to GameEx ver 9.74 and then to 9.75 and still broken. I uninstalled FFDShow and went back to ffdshow-rev1839_20080202 and viola! It works again. Thanks for the support!! Woo.
