[QUOTE="sleepycol, post: 295869, member: 20995"] After much experimenting on my test PC (which had klite codec pack and QT alternative installed) I found the following (if you are willing to test this on yours too: 1) Remove klite codec pack 2) Install VistaCodec Pack (ok for XP too) [url=http://www.softpedia.com/get/Multimedia/Video/Codec-Packs-Video-Codecs/Advanced-Vista-Codec-Package.shtml]Download Vista Codec Package 4.7.3 - With this package installed, you shouldn't need to install any other codec or filter - Softpedia[/url] 3) After this I had problems playing "some" local .mov files. However, in the vista codec pack start menu, there is a shortcut to set .mov to allow play from mobiles (or something like that, can't remember exact option) 4) AC3filter is installed with this codec pack, but if you want it to be used I had to enable ac3 playback in its options. Otherwise spdifer is used. However, as with many of these things changing anything from your current "working" setup might disrupt something else. So try at your own risk ;0) Cheers, Colin Not sure you need to check the .mov playback option. I didn't.
