not a miracle video, but a miracle regarding videos

Oh happy day!
After one of my apps started misbehaving last week for no apparent reason :down: my long term problem with Windows Media video (I hate that format anyway) files fixed itself today! :up: :up: :up:
Maybe a year ago Zoom Player suddenly stopped playing those (even the crappy Windows Media Player didn't play them anymore), and since I couldn't find a fix for that problem I started to use the VLC media player for those files (if I have to, I don't like that format at all!). Today I accidently tried to play a .wmv file in Zoom Player - and it suddenly worked again!
I have *NO* idea why this happened, but hope it will stay this way now :D

you probably installed some software that installed the proper codec. some media program.

No way! It still didn't work 2 days ago, and all that I installed since then were updates of Mp3tag and FastStone Image Viewer...
nudone:
the vatican might be interested in hearing about the codec miracle. it's about time we had a confirmed digital miracle.
m_s:
On FastStone's site, they list this among recent improvements:
Version 2.4 (Mar 15, 2006)
* Now the built-in screen capture supports multi-monitor system
* Video files ( AVI, MPG, MPEG, WMV, MOV) can be displayed as thumbnails in the browser. Double clicking on a video file will open it in the default media player (Screenshot)
So maybe that's where you got the codec!
Thanks for the prompt to update my Faststone - off to download it now...
