If you don't see it then you may need to tell explorer to show hidden files, by using the tools -> folder options menu and then the view tab.Ĭreate a new shortcut in that Send To folder, pointing the shortcut at the mplayer.exe exe in the c:\mplayer folder. If you navigate up one folder you should see a folder called send to. To create the short cut, right click on the windows start button and click explore. So that you can just right click on the video and select send to -> mplayer as this means you don't need to set up any file associations for mplayer, which would need to be undone if you removed mplayer. I've found the easiest way to play a video with mplayer is to create a send to shortcut. It ran on a clean copy of Windows XP Home SP2 without needing anything updating. On windows, MPlayer uses Microsoft's DirectX to display the video, so you may need to make sure you have a recent version if there any problems. Then extract the contents of the codec zip into the codec sub-folder of the mplayer folder i.e. You'll need the MPlayer windows binaries and the windows essential codec pack.Įxtract the contents of the binaries zip file into the folder you want to use for mplayer, in this howto I'm gonna use c:\mplayer. So you need to grab the files from the MPlayer Website. This means that uninstalling is just a matter of deleting the folder. One of the great features of MPlayer, is that you don't actually install the software, you just extract the contents of the zip file into a folder, and thats pretty much it.

Running MPlayer on windows to watch video clips instead of windows media player can save a lot of time and effort ensuring you have the correct codecs installed, and provides such a clean and simple interface to watch the movie clips with.
