WMP 11 Beta
-
I d/led the beta from M$'s website and I must admit I am impressed. I like the user interface and the way it organises my music and video files.
However, I seem to have trouble adding my ripped DvDs to the Video library. Anyone have any idea how I can do that? -
If its microsoft, it probably has some copyright thing built into it that stops you from doing so.

Another Problem: The bloody wmp11 doesn't seem to recognise ogg vorbis files. I can play the files fine, but they dun appear in the library.
Its a great program...great library...fast too...But you gotta wonder at the intelligence of people who overlook a format as popular and as good as Ogg Vorbis.*
Everyday, I look around and I conclude that the world is full of incompetent idiots (Yes, I am a grumpy bloke). WMP11 sure isn't doing much to change my outlook...
*unless of course M$ wants to discourage people from using open formats and use their's instead. Could explain why there is still no support for real and quicktime files... -
One of the older version of WMP could open Real Player files I think. If I'm not wrong, it's version 8. I've got one song in .rm format, surprisingly it played. Usually, it would skip or give errors in newer players.
As the name implies, it's still in Beta, don't expect a lot of goodies yet. In fact, problems with ripping DVD might just be bugs. Otherwise, it could be like ditzy says, some protection codes in the program. -

I think it is precisely because WMP11 is still in beta that I should make a lot of noise. After all. that's what betas are about.Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:One of the older version of WMP could open Real Player files I think. If I'm not wrong, it's version 8.

I think the reason WMP doesn't support quicktime and Real files is because M$ doesn't want to start an all-out war with those coys. Maybe they have some kind of agreement (which, if it exists, might be in contravention of competition law) because there are programs like Real Alternative, Quicktime Alternative, Media Player Classic, etc out there; so clearly it can be done.
btw, to the poster who wants a player who can play them all, do a search for VLC in google. That will play almost everything under the sun.
I think Media Player Classic can too but I do not like Media player classic - doesn't seem to agree with my system. -
i tink winamp can playback most type of files. for those it cannot decode, there's always directshow filtersOriginally posted by FBI:somteims i jus hope that one player could play all kind of files..
