Windows Media Player

June 27th, 2005 · 4 Comments

I’ve been watching some car video clips on the net tonight, and I have come to a conclusion. Windows Media Player fuckin stinks! I hope that this piece of crap works better under Windows, because this is embarrassing. Why do people have to code their videos in that format? It’s beyond me. Try Quicktime, Real, mpg1 or DiVX or whatever.

Reason nr 1242 to hate Microsoft

    No reason to get mad. No open format, no view. I was never a huge TV/video anyway. When Microsoft change the encoding of text or texual format, that’s an entire new level.

    In OS X it sucks horribly. There is actually a $10 codec ( http://www.flip4mac.com/ ) to play WMV in QT7, and it sucks half as much as the MS-branded player.
