Winamp is an excellent media player but some people think it can only play only audio formats and very few video formats, well they are wrong I'll say here is a dirty lil trick that will enable all u winamp freaks to play almost all videos in winamp coz winamp can already play almost all audio formats, so this tutorial will show u how to play various videos in winamp that are not actually handled by winamp in general.

Ok, so lets get started
What u need:
1. Klite Mega Codec Pack
2. Winamp

Download KLMCP from here:


And I assume winamp is already installed, so all u need to do is install all codecs of KLMPC and finish the installation.

Now open winamp and goto options->preferences->plugins->input
Double click "Nullsoft Directshow Decoder"
And add the extension u wanna play e.g., "RA;RM;RMVB;MP4;M4V;MKV;FLV", without("")
Close winamp and start again now try playing the files and u will notice that winamp will pick em up just like any other file it generally plays.


Note: Download "KLMPC" only as "KLCP" does not have real alternative included in the package but if u install KLCP u can still install real alternative seperately.

By default winamp only handles "MPG;MPEG;M2V;AVI" extensions

U can play quicktime files also after installing qt alternative and add the "MOV" to "Nullsoft Directshow Decoder" but protected qt files still require actual qt installed.

Thanks For Sharing

how are you bro?
Thanks for sharing such a nice way to use Winamp. No doubt its nice player. I used to play my audio songs in Winamp only.
Thanks again.
