I am trying to watch a video file on my TV that is linked through my xbox 360 and my computer. In order for this to work however i must be able to play the video through windows media player. The vid file im trying to watch is played in Quicktime player and called a "MPEG-4" type file and i don't know anything about codec's or what not. Is there an EASY way for me to make this file playable on windows media player? Thanks for the help as always guys

You will need certain codec in order fo the media player will be able to recognize the mpeg-4 file. The codec are the ones who translate the video file in order for the media player to recognize it, it the there are certain codecs missing it will just provide an error message that says "unable to recognize file or unsupported video file". The work around to this problem is by playing the video file using another media player such as Quicktime, VLC, etc. But, since you wanted to play the video file on your Windows Media Player, I suggest that you download the Klite Mega Codec Pack. Don't worry it is completely free for downloads no sign ups or purchase.

Now, once you download the Klite Mega Codec Pack follow and read the steps carefully when installing. Now, on the installation there will be an option if you want to associate the codec pack with Windows Media Player, try to mark that so when the program installs all its codecs will be provided to the Windows Media Player so it can recognize video files such as MKV, HD, FLV, MPEG-4, and many more that were not recognize before.

You can download the Klite Mega Codec Pack at the link below:

I have 1 more question however. I am able to play these files in WMP, but in order to be able to watch them through my xbox i have to be able to add them to my WMP Library. And for whatever reason It won't add. Dunno if thats anything you could help me with or not. Thanks again for your previous help.

Did you make the WMP as the default player?

No i don't think so. But i can add every other video to my library except these ones. It doesnt make sense to me
