When trying to install Media Player Classic on my PC at work (WinNT w/ SP6), I get the following error:
The procedure entry point DirectDrawCreateEx could not be located in the dynamic link library DDRAW.dll.
Do I need to install a newer DirectX? WinNT's SP4+ includes DirectX 3 with DirectPlay 6. Typing 'dxdiag' in the Run box doesn't work for me though.
Also I dont have Admin rights (some apps install, some don't).
MPC plays Quicktime files and Real Media files, doesn't it? Does it play all types of Real Media files? Does it play WMP files? I've been using Unrealone but it doesn't work quite as well as I'd like. Are Quicktime Alternative & Real Alternative both just hacked MPC? Does MPC not play QT and RM 'out of the box'? A little confused what i need to get.
Is MPC the best free/small player?
BS Player seems to do quite a bit as well and seems like it could take the place of WMP and windvd/powerdvd, etc. But does it support QT & RM, etc?
What about Zoom player? It supports RM, QT, and WMP.
VLC player?
There aren't plugins for Winamp that'll do all this are there?
What is the K-lite codec pack?
Also, I dont want to start a new thread just to ask, while looking on soundforge for MPC, I was wondering, is there a way to get more information on a program there before you download it? It either has none, or a brief description.
