VLC Media Player Blocked in INDIA! Boost Windows Video Player.

on

 

Hi Everyone,


This blog is after a long time, recently i tried downloading VLC Setup file for Windows OS to play a certain Media format which Windows Movies&TV /Media player does not support but the site was not accessible.

This was long back ago and as an alternative i was able to get setup file from FileHippo Web site.

But i recently came across the news that its banned in INDIA, how ever you can download the setup file from various 3rd Party sites.

So thought of writing a blog on how i installed codecs for Windows Media player to play almost 99% of video formats.

Although VLC is still available and downloadable on Linux Distros as they are delivered via Packages/Snap/Flatpak.

 I am using Windows OS on one of my System as few reporting SW as not available in Linux.

back to installing Codecs, its very simple go to the below Site and the instructions are very clear and crisp.

as i have Windows 10, i choose to download Media Foundation Codecs.

next we have all extra codecs available for download.


after installing above Files i was able to play most of the Video Files.
