Personally, I use UnoTelly for more than a year and I can access 4oD like I am in UK.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04514000858632748876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21098869.post-16689210027258679552007-10-25T20:58:00.000+01:002007-10-25T20:58:00.000+01:00Thanks for your help.

One of the most common non-standard ones is DivX - not sure of WMP supports this built in yet - or whether you need to download the codec for it.<BR/><BR/>If you get an error message from WMP when it fails to recognise/play the file, then try Googling for it.<BR/><BR/>Also, a Google for something like "video codecs" may point you to available resources.<BR/><BR/>There are also freeware applications that will inspect video files and tell you the name of the codec required ... Google is your friend.
