Illuminattile-what is a wmv file anyway? and how do u know if it's an wmv file or not?

ThuG4LifE-what is a codec and who do i get it?

Best thing to do is install the K-Lite codec pack, ive done that and had no problems

Look at the file extension. If it says hardcoreomgpr0nmovie.wmv then it's a WMV file. A lot of WMV files require you to download licenses, which you have to pay for.

you can also check out VLC media player, it will play almost any video file.

use windows media player.

Simple solution: Use media player classic. Download the combined community codec pack from here - http://www.cccp-project.net/

Use media player classic instead. Once you use it, you'll never go back to another media player ever again for video files.

I don't think this is a codec problem. It's not saying he needs codecs, it's saying he needs "plugins" and it's asking him to download them from a porn site.
