    I downloaded a tutorial because I would wish to play it several times at my leisure rather than view it online. However Windows Media player can't play it - which I suspect is because it doesn't have the codec used to compress the file. Does anyone know where I could simply find and add the proper codec - or any other simple way to repeatedly play this file?

     From memory the files are mp4, which you will need Quicktime to play, not Media Player.

    windows mediaplayer 12 can play mp4 (H264 codec) and there are several free codecs available on the net to make mediaplayer 10 & 11 play mp4.

     

    if you don't like to install quicktime such a codec for an older windows mediaplayer (eg. because you don't trust the issuer) there is also the free VLC-mediaplayer available here:  http://www.videolan.org/vlc/

     

    we decided to change the video format for our tutorials to mp4 about 2 years ago because the quality/size ratio is (still) unbeatable

     

     

    and remember: only a CRAY can run an endless loop in just three seconds.
