Hi bhxtyrant. I, likewise, have seen no indication WMP 11 is not Beta. Reverend discussed it as beta (and what it was designed to do) on Aug 3l a few posts back in this forum.

Now I wonder if in some odd moment - if you're still using WMP 11, you could do me a small favor. As I said I'm using WMP 10 now because it solved myk problem of not being able to play BBC videos. And I therefore know what file types WMP 10 willl handle. But I did not save file type info from WMP 11--wish I had--just to compare 10 and 11 and see if there was a file type in 10 but missing in 11--that played the BBC news videos. (In which case 10 would have the needed codec, 11 would not.

Could you just jot down the file types in your WMP 11 and send them along?
