After looking at the thread you sent me, I am very much inclined to agree; it's just that I knew that I've seen Winamp play videos before and was thinking that maybe there was a way to get Winamp to do so as many of my friends also use Winamp and possibly don't have VLC! But if I have to use VLC to watch it, then this is what I shall do! Thanks for the help and for the feedback! Tom Kaufman P.S. I most likely will just remove that Winamp Essentials pack as I don't see what good it is doing me!

You may indeed get a much bigger file and the quality may in fact be worse. You're probably just better off using vlc if you absolutely can't get winamp to play this filetype. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tom Kaufman" <tomca...@comcast.net> To: "'PC Audio Discussion List'" <pc-audio@pc-audio.org> Sent: Saturday, July 05, 2014 12:10 PM Subject: RE: Question About Winamp And MP4 Files >I had put this out there before (had tried to convert, using Switch) > apparently switch won't convert MP4 files!
