I just found out that to play video .mp4 (not just audio) you have to have the Winamp Pro version. I have used it for years off and on so I have done the deed and upgraded ;D
I have had nothing but problems every time I tried VLC, I never managed to get it to work once. WMP is a bloated hog, used one that Bob recommended long ago but that too started to get bloated.
Really though? you had to pay to view the interview? Doesn’t that seem sort of odd to you?
I think this is more of a firefox issue than anything else, because chrome (haven’t tried IE yet) works just fine.
I click the link and it just starts playing. I don’t have anything crazy installed, just windows, chrome, and vlc player (that and xvid codecs). Might just be a sign that firefox doesn’t support it.
I was able to view it in WMP11 but only because I have the ffdshow codec installed from Format Factory. It also plays in Media Player Classic Home Cinema using it’s built in decoder which shows the video codec of the file to be H264 which is very common. You shouldn’t have to pay to view these types of files.
