i can play ok this mp4 video (600kb aprox) [Only registered and activated users can see links] but with the internal codecs i've been looking for the external codecs to download but dont solve the problem. (The fact that i cant see the image just hear the audio) So i would really apreciate if any1 could tell me the exact codec i need to play it. Tnks
It's not clear what you are talking about.
What's the problem? ffdshow is enough for general directshow players.

the problem is that i cant play the file with external codecs. i can play any other mp4 ive tryed b4 but this 1 i cant play it without the use of internal codecs
As I said, ffdshow is enough.

Try nightly builds by clsid.
By the way, any reason to use external deocders?

is just that i dont like depending on internal codecs. Im downloading it but do i have to install it over the fddshow i have or uninstal and then instal this 1? Also in aditional tasks what is better to select or unselect?
Hmm, internal decoders are the very latest decoders from ffmpeg etc. You can trust internal decoders for most cases if you don't need specific commercial decoders such as CoreAVC, Cyberlink H264 etc for the purpose of improving performance.
It is not strongly recommended to disable all the internal decoders. For general purpose it's quiet enough to use internal decoders. It'll keep your system clean. The best way of controlling decoders of KMP is to use internal decoders in general and commercial decoders required to enhance a playback performance.
Ah.. forgot to say something important. In some cases, you'll lose an opportunity to play some media unless usage of internal decoder is "Always Use" in Preferences | Decoder Usage. It is a genuine feature of KMP.
