 An issue persists with Vista Media Center from MCE 2005. When a codec is
installed from the Vista shell (XVID, for example), the video will playback
inside of MediaPlayer 11, however, not inside of Media Center.

With both application using MediaPlayer 11 technology, why the disparity
between the usage of installed codecs?

Thanks -

AH

 I have this issue too.

Video files play perfectly within WMP11 however, for me, within Vista Media
Center the same file will play, but the white areas are filled with black
static. It's unwatchable and has forced me back to MCE 2005.

I have tried every codec imaginable. Various versions of FFDShow, DIVX
codecs, K-Lite. It makes no discernable difference in Media Center!!

Frustrating
