    Need an MP4 player for XP

    I recently bought a SanDisk V-Mate Digital Video Recorder to digitally copy some shows I DVR'd so I can watch them on my laptop and burn them to DVD.

    I recorded a test file and attempted to play it in Windows Medi Player 11 (I loaded the latest K-Lite codec full pack already). When I tried to play it, all I get is sound and no video.

    Any other mp4 players I can try?

    If you load the K-Lite 'Mega' codec pack,it will allow you to choose many things that the standard pack won't. Such as codecs to play all the Mp type extensions. And it lets you use the ol'(but good) media player 6.4 to play .Flv,Mp4 and other types. Use the uninstall option to get rid of the Std.pack first so there won't be any conflicts...

    VLC or Media Player Classic Home Cinema work too. No need for extra codecs with those and they are FREE.
