Windows Media Player Screwing With My Content

Wednesday, 01 November 2006

It has come to my attention that Microsoft in typical anti-competitive behaviour seems to be locking my videos from playing as they are encoded in DivX - a competing video codec.

Being typical asses in the way they conduct business rather than post a message saying you need to download an additional component (which they do for their own stuff) they just freeze the engine instead - making it look like the competing software is broken.

The thrice convicted monopolist up to their old tricks again of making competing software not work with their Windows OS. DivX works fine, just download and install it and it'll work

Grab the DivX codec here  to watch the videos

Means I have a lot of work to do again. Thanks Microsux. Be nice if you would fix the problems in your OS before you spent any more time trying to shaft everyone else.

Look for Apple Quicktime streaming videos in the near future.
