Hey guys

I am having a lot of trouble playing .rmvb files in windows 7 media center, i can play avi, mkv, mp4 and other files fine. But when i try load a video that is rmvb i get this error:

CANNOT PLAY VIDEO

Media Center cannot find the specified file. Be sure the path is typed correctly. If it is, the file does not exist at the specified location, or the computer where the file is stored is offline.

Can someone please help???

Also i have these codecs

eww Real Player format file, either use video converting utility to convert the video to something less obscure or give the real alternative codec a go.

Just get the lite version if you only need the codec as the non lite version includes media player classic.
