mp4 files in the video player

[HydroSqueegee]

is the video player suppose to be able to play *.mp4 files by default? If not, is there a way to enable this?

I don't think it will do it without a mp4 codec. As I understand, Windows Media Player is the backbone for the music playing capability in GameEx, so if you can get it to work there, it should be playable in GameEx.

Just to follow up with bkenobi I would suggest downloading the K-lite codec pack this should have a codec for just about any format.

it was so late last night i entered retard mode. Dis a search and found a link to the Vista codec pack. Installed that, but i had to rename the mp4 files to avi to get gameex to see them. They played, but no preview window is displayed and after exiting the video, no more icons are displayed next to anything on any menu untill i exit and restart gameex.

I'll give k-lite a go when i get home. I thought i had allready installed either it or the defiler pack, but when i went to remove it before installing the vista pack, only ffdshow was installed. blargh.
