It does not associates filetypes. With this package installed you will be able to use any media player (limited only by the players capabilities) to play DVD's, movies and video clips of any format. Streaming video (real and quicktime) is supported in web browsers. Visit the homepage to get a 64bitAddon which enables xvid, divx and DVD playback in Vista's MediaCenter.
Did you buy Vista x64 but find that almost nothing will play in MediaCenter? Do you want to watch your favorite video's in MediaCenter? These package is tested on Vista Ultimate x64.
