I have a WMV video file I am trying to play in WMP on Vista. I get an msg that it needs to download Windows Media Audio Codec 9. I choose install but then get an error saying "An audio codec is needed to play this file..."
Can someone tell me how to fix this one?

GSpot's support for WMV/WMA/ASF is rather limited; it'll report "(Codec) Status Undetermined" even if you have everything necessary to play WMV/WMA files installed on your system, I believe. At least, that's the way it was for me. Use MediaInfo instead.
Odd that WMP would have a problem with WM Audio 9, though. I'd think Vista would either have it already installed, or have no problem downloading and installing it.
You might also look at ffdshow - it supports WM Audio 9, but not WMA9 Pro. You'd probably have to enable it in the codec settings, though.If cameras add ten pounds, why would people want to eat them?
