Vista Tutorial - 64bit video player?

Using MPC right now. Wondering if any 64bit video players are out on the market to use?

Also, how do you enable 64bit WMP in vista64?

If you are running Home Premium 64bit or better, Windows Media player 64 bit version can be found at :
C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player\wmplayer.exe
Just edit your shortcut path to that directory.
The default is the 32 bit version:
C:\Program Files(x86)\Windows Media Player\wmplayer.exe

Cheers

Pretty much:

If you want to use the 64bit version of WMP as the default player on Vista
64-bit, run "unregmp2.exe /SwapTo:64" from an ELEVATED (admin) cmd.exe
prompt and then set registry value
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App
Paths\wmplayer.exe, "Path" to be "%Programfiles%\Windows Media Player". To
undo that, reset the "Path" value and then run "unregmp2.exe /SwapTo:32"
from an elevated cmd.exe prompt.

Speaking for myself only.
See http://zachd.com/pss/pss.html for some helpful WMP info.

I installed both updates. I must admit, file transfer speeds seem to have
picked up considerably. For instance, with the last update of iTunes and
QuickTime, I was unable to use any of my iTunes video purchases (iTunes kept
timing out, resulting in unplayable video). I guess Microsoft caught up
with Apple, because they play reasonably-well now.

Hope this stays this way for a while.

No Apple caught up with Vista. The Apple people only just released their
Vista version.
