Playing mp4 and divx avi files with Vista Media Center

[pa1270]

How can I play mp4 and avi file in Windows Vista Media Center. I am running
Vista Premium.

I can see AVIs in the library, but can't play them. I can't even see the MP4
files in the library. Both play with media center.

Thanks for the help.

there is a vista codec pack that is swimming around in the internet..

I normally say NO to codec packs.. but media center is the only reason I
would tell someone to install it..

see here:

if you are NOT using media center kiss all the codec problems bye bye and
install and use
the www.gomplayer.com that has all codecs built in and is FANTASTIC!

Thanks. I assume standard edition? will this allow the mp4s to appear in the
WMC library?
