Hello J M: Yes...I feel the same way about Winamp as you; I, too, have seen Winamp play videos, but am wondering if those videos were originally WMP files (Winamp _will_ play those! Anyhow I've not been able to get Winamp to play this particular MP4 video (it'll only give me audio) but yes; VLC does a good job; I just don't know the keystrokes to make it do various things!

Let me just say that I love winamp and have used it for almost fifteen years now, with no sign of stopping... But only for audio. I have never quite been able to figure out why winamp seems to play some videos and not others. There are some codec issues and searching the internet for certain codecs (depending on the type of encoding...which you can't always tell from the extension, you have to look at the video info) has increased the number of videos winamp will play just fine, but there are some files I've just never been able to get to play. Sometimes there's no video, sometimes neither video or audio. VLC on the other hand will play every video I've ever encountered without a hitch or without any hunting around on the net for obscure codec packs. I love it for that reason and if I ever have people over and we want to watch videos/movies, VLC works every time. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tom Kaufman" <tomca...@comcast.net> To: <Pc-audio@pc-audio.org> Sent: Thursday, July 03, 2014 5:28 PM Subject: Question About Winamp And MP4 Files > Hello list: Am wondering if there's a way to get Winamp to play the video > of an MP4 file?
