How to watch video files [of various formats.... avi/mp4] through wmp.:)

Do I need to download any extra bits?:)

Please help. Thanks in advance :):)

Don't use WMP it's very fickle when it comes to video file formats.

There are plenty of free alternatives such as VLC, Media Player Classic - Home Cinema, etc.

Agree VLC media player plays nearly every format .
Otherwise you need a codec pack for WMP ( just google wmp codec )

VLC is the best player out there, and it's free!
VLC free download

but if you really want to use Media player then

Thanks for all your reply. I am aware of VLC.
The reason why I wanted WMP is that I also want to use Media Centre on my PC [on win XP]
Still searching for the right codec pack
