YIKES! Way out of my league. I think the Media Player Classic 6.4 is the
basic software and the real player and quicktime downloads are add-ins and
the k-lite codec pack add/includes the codecs needed to play everything.
I apologize for my ignorance. I thought it would be easy to refer you to a
useful software. Boy! was I ever wrong. :-))
