Greetings and felicitations,
That's correct. I just checkmarked use WMV under the directshow playback section. That's all I needed to do With MC 12 for video to playback through windows media. Are you sayin I need to change something in the file type section too. I wondered if you could be more specific about that.
Please note that, on "DirectShow playback settings..." window, there are two checkboxes in MC12 - "Use Window Media Player for video playback if possible" at the top, and "Use WMV accelerator if available" at the bottom. The top one is what I am talking about. The bottom one is a totally different matter.
In MC13, the top checkbox has been removed, because that option is now being applied on a per-file-type basis. You need to configure it on "File Types" window.
Here is how:
1. Tools -> Options -> File Types;
2. Scroll the list to Video section and select the file type that you want to be played in Windows Media Player engine;
3. Choose "Windows Media Player Engine" from the "Playback Method" drop-down list at the bottom;
4. Click OK.
