Windows Media Player Plugins

100 Percent Guaranteed Compatibility!

Ever since Windows Media Player 7.0 was launched in 2000, Windows Media Player Plugins have been growing in popularity.

Windows Media Player is Microsoft's own media player for the various flavours of its Windows operating systems. Other major media players available for you to download onto Windows XP are Real Player, Quick Time and Win Amp.

Each player has its own strengths. BUT the number one thing that sets Windows Media Player apart form ALL other media players is the Video and Audio version 9 codec's that it uses by default.

Whilst capable of playing many other media file formats. Windows Media Player is storming ahead of the pack due to the quality of local and streaming audio/video playback

This popularity and the sheer number of machines that Windows Media Player 10 is installed on - makes developing Windows Media Player Plug ins very popular!

Windows Media Player Plugins come under THREE main categories:

Plugins - Small "add-ons" or "utilities" that add to, or extend the built-in functionality of Windows Media Player.

Skins - Small programs that can change the way Windows Media Player looks on your screen.

Visualizations - Small "add-ons" that allow you to view Windows Media Player in a more entertaining way, whilst listening to your music etc...


Besides Microsoft, many other companies are developing Windows Media Player Plugins for the home user to download and enjoy. Heck, you can even make your own if you want too!

Windows Media Player Plugins are now big business. So much so that Microsoft have even launched a website for locating and reviewing Windows Media Player Plugins!

The MOST POPULAR plug ins are the DVD Plugins: 

Windows Media Player DVD Decoder?

Several major software companies have created a small piece of software called a "plugin" that you can purchase to make Windows Media Player play your DVDs.

(The reason they are not free is that a "royalty" has to be paid each time the DVD Decoder is installed on a PC, to the folks who own the MPEG-2 format - and no its not Microsoft!).

These are TWO main Windows Media Player DVD Decoder "plugins" to chose from depending on your operating system.
