I have downloaded and installed the codecs from http://global.kazaalitekpp.net/download.php for playing RealMedia and QuickTime files without having QuickTime Player or RealPlayer installed. There is also a player called "Media Player Classic" which demonstrates that the codecs have been installed correctly, as does Windows MediaPlayer, which all play .MOV files no problem now. However, my little app based around TMediaPlayer keeps giving me the message "Cannot determine the device type from the given filename extension". I have tried *ALL* of the DeviceTypes for TMediaPlayer and none of them work. How do I do this? TIA, -- Mark Jacobs DK Computing http://www.dkcomputing.co.uk markj atty critical dotty co dotty uk

Under the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\MCI Extensions add string values called mov, qt, rm, and ram and set their string to MPEGVideo. Now the system recognises them. Yippee!! -- Mark Jacobs DK Computing http://www.dkcomputing.co.uk markj atty critical dotty co dotty uk
