media files

Okay, since there are many questions on this topic, none exactly the same as mine, I'd like to make myself perfectly clear. I know about Default Programs, and I know about Autoplay settings in the Control Panel. What I want to achieve is use Media Player Classic (comes with the K-Lite codec...

I took some videos on my iPhone 4S which I wanted to transfer to my Windows 8.1 laptop. I did it in the usual way where I connect it to USB, go into the device on My PC and drag/copy the videos over to another folder. The videos won't play, however. Whenever I try to play them (default through...

This is a new one for me. I downloaded a zip file that I need to rollback a media player to it original firmware. I know how to do it using a usb drive. The problem is that the .bin file I need access to, when it is extracted from the zip file is a media file (VLC). On its properties page it...
