Hey Tom, if you don't want to risk upgrading to the new WMP, check out VLC's video player. It will play all videos from Sapphic Erotica and doesn't need any codec alterations that I know of, it also uses much less system resources than WMP and probably is the most flexible and easy to use media player on the internet.

Just about to suggest that too, VLC is good for those vids that don't work on wmp. I also recommend GOM player , by far the slickest media player, especially if you use the cool black skin for it downloaded from the gom site. I also have realplayer which I was surprised is actually very good now adays and plays lots of vids WMP doesn't.

Thanks elephant, I'll look into that. It's good to know there are other options out there. For some reason I just don't trust Microsoft upgrades, I guess it has something to do with the fact that their upgrades usually fix one problem but create ten more. I really don't like messing with my configuration when its working good. And Microsoft just loves creating these situations where you are forced to upgrade. They could of course provide a new codec for their older players, but they won't, it's all about marketing and it irritates me.
Sapphic Erotica needs to warn people that this upgrade is required for their newer videos, but of course they will not do that because they know a lot of people just don't want to take the risk. Shameful.

No problem, glad to have helped, I ran into the same problem, even using WMP 11 with a lot of the MP4 video files that are showing up on ALS Scan and the VLC plays those too.

One more vote here for VLC. It has even played videos that were "broken", i.e., incomplete file downloads that I didn't catch while downloading. Saved a lot of work for me.
