media player classic
Greetings!
My first post...
Initially I could not start anything on my "DVD Super Multi drive" - HL-DT-ST DVDR GH41NAM. I did some online research and downloaded some sort of codec. Now, at least, the drive opens when I click on its icon in NBVCXZ (Gateway name for "My Computer").
This morning I saw a new icon on my desktop - Media Player Classic. I inserted a DVD that I played yesterday on a standard DVD player. MPC opened as soon as I clicked play. I saw the opening/title still frame, tried both "Play" buttons (there was another one in MPC toolbar but the entire toolbar was grey. After playing more with the MPC I found no mention of Win7, just XP and Vista. So I downloaded the latest version of MPC, 1.5.1.2903 (the one I discovered this morning is 1.4.2499.0). To my surprise, both icon peacefully co-exist on the desktop, and can be opened independently. The only difference I noticed: the original one says "64-bit Edition" on its interface (although the new one installed in the same folder: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Essentials Codec Pack\MPC\mpc-hc.exe", just one is marked mpc-hc and the other one mpc-hc64.
I could not play music CD, as Real Player is my default audio player and I could not change it to MPC as it is not listed in "Change" window (which does not bother me much as Real Player is good enough).
Do I need to install something else to bring MPC to life (whatever version)?
