Today sees a big update to the Windows Media Player 9 codec package, with fixes for all issues from earler codes.

Unmatched Audio and Video Quality

Powerful new audio and video compression technology is at the foundation of Windows Media 9 Series. The Windows Media Audio and Video 9 Series codecs deliver unmatched audio and video quality at any bit rate, with features designed to provide superior quality at dial-up rates and home-theater-like experiences over broadband connections or for download-and-play.

Windows Media Audio and Video 9 Series codecs are automatically downloaded by Windows Media Player 7.1 and Windows Media Player for Windows XP, but to get the ultimate experience, you should download Windows Media Player 9 Series for playing, and Windows Media Encoder 9 Series for creating new content.

When the new codecs are used in conjunction with other Windows Media 9 Series components, the new technologies draw on each others advanced capabilities to provide dramatic additional benefits. For example, by using Windows Media Player 9 Series on the Microsoft Windows XP operating system, users can be immersed in a full 5.1 channel surround-sound experience and can play their music and video in the convenient Mini-Player. For low-bit-rate video content, the new video frame smoothing feature in Windows Media Player 9 Series helps ensure that the video looks better than ever. And much more!
