Default Vista x64 and Media center
no for some strange reason no mater what video i try to play in media center it craps out with an error - so far i have tested avi (xvid) and mkv(x264) and it complains that it cant open the files, yet media player on its own can, now i have ffdshow installed, could it be because its in x86 folder that its kicking up, or just vista being a tit

media centre x64 can't use 32bit codecs.

it doesn't use media player as the backend. If it did it'd use your codecs

Media player is 32 bit so that it can use existing codecs.
