Windows Media Player

I enjoy using it alot, so i was wondering if there are any plugins or codecs i could get for it so i could play realplayer and quicktime files on it.

This site says you can't do either.

This site says you can play it using Media Player Classic, so you might get some luck making it work properly on WMP.

See here for Quicktime Alternative

WMP is possibly one of the worst players out there for videos. Get a real program, like MPC (Guliverkli2 project).

Did you read my post? :p. You'll have to give it a try. It's definitely not supported, but it might work.

Just get a codec pack like CCCP or K-Lite Mega Codec Pack and get them to install all necessary codecs. CCCP only has problems with playing MP4, it played mine without sound. Uninstalled it and used K-lite instead and it plays the MP4 with sound now... I have 2 tell ya though it's a pain to get it to work perfect. It's probably best to use another player but like you I also prefer WMP and I've got it to work ok. Not perfect but ok.

Nah Bill he does have a point, i also have a sound problem with MP4 using CCCP

I know. I was going to put a smiley face after it, but that would have defied the point. I dunno, mine's never had problems, but I've got codecs from a few places. Maybe that's why.

What requires Real these days? All the Real files I find these days are usually pretty bad quality encodes of Chinese shows.
