Hey Tom.
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.

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? I got a video the other night; if I just click it as is,
it
comes up in Winamp; only thing is that it plays only the audio! I can see
the video if I have it play in something like VLC (and that's fine) but
was
just wondering if I could make Winamp play the video as well and if so,
how
is it done?
Thanks,
Tom Kaufman
