mpeg4 in Media Player

slothmeister · 11 Sep 2007 at 14:53

Hi guys, i've just downloaded a episode of lost from the itunes store but i want to play it in media player rather than itunes or quicktime as i can only seem to get surround sound in media player.

However media player doesn't recognise the mpeg4 format, what codec do i need to play these files?

Thanks

erm scuse my ignorance, now what?

I've downloaded ffdshow and installed, however file will still refuse to play in media player, do i need to change anything within media player?

off topic then, are you able to buy files off of itunes in different formats?
