This is my internet/everyday computer, I'm still using the Win 7 for recording and video processing at this point. And sometimes for photo processing. I transfer files between the two with a USB thumb drive, PITA that it is.
Today I wanted to move some completed MPG-4 videos from old to new to upload. No big deal. Before uploading, make sure the files didn't corrupt. What did I find? Windows Media Player in Win 10 won't play MPG videos! Oh yeah, it'll play the audio, but not the video. So must be some missing CODECs, right? A search on the MS forums revelas no one has found a way to make WMP work for MPG videos! So I d/l-ed the free VLC player that I had on my old computer, too. Did I say MS sucks today? Now I did.
