Hd codec for windows media player?
I have an iPhone 5 which records video in hd and was wondering if there was a codec that will allow me to watch them on my xp laptop.
But your computer may not be able to handle HD video if it is older and XP. HD requires alot of memory/ram and a strong processor. I don't know the specs of your PC. I do not recommend codec packs, they can mess up your computer. Best option is to get an alternative media player. Try VLC first, links below.
Since you have XP you may want to consider disabling the video media thumbnail pic previewer, it is bad about freezing up XP. See my instructions here,
The best players are VLC media player by videolan, media player classic home cinema, kmplayer, and daum potplayer. They play pretty much anything including DVD's with their own codecs. If you set all the settings in daum potplayer to your liking it is the best player.
http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ (Official site of VLC player by videolan. Free and virus free! It will download from sourceforge.) Pay attention while installing, if you don't want files associated with VLC then uncheck that option during setup. If you want after installing you can right click on the video file and choose to play with VLC.
To play DVD with VLC - open VLC - in taskbar at top click on media - then click open disk.

After installing open it up and right click on it - in the video tab - set video renderer to overlay mixer for some older computers. You may want to change the skin & aspect ratio options also. You can manage file associations - right click - preferences - association tab.
To play a DVD with potplayer - right click on it on the second open tab popout click "open DVD' or on the last tab to open your "CD/DVD" drive

- Why won't my itunes sync with my media player? So I have a iphone 4 and when I 1st downloaded Itunes all my songs from my Media player synced with it and it let me put all my music on my phone but I recently added some new songs (63) to my Media player but they did not show up in my Itunes so now I have no idea how to put them on my phone. Also my Media player won't sync with my phone too.
- Moving from Windows Media Player to iTunes? I have a folder on my PC called Films. I wish to move this to my iPhone. I tried dragging - does not work. Any other ideas. Please be clear.
- IPhone/Windows Media Player? Basically what's happened is that WMP says please connect a device even though on my iPhone says it is charging which means it must be plugged into the laptop! How would I get past this and send a video or sound track to my iPhone! Even a suggestion would be great!
