Let Windows 7 easily recognize video files in Real format

Those who have used Windows 7, when using the media center that comes with the system, must feel that the media center media library is very beautiful and cool!! Unfortunately, the media center's media library can not recognize the Real format. Video file. Why is this happening? How to solve it effectively? It is reported that Real format is one of the most popular video file formats, and many of the movies we usually watch are Real. It's really frustrating to have such a powerful and convenient media management tool. But it doesn't matter, today the system teaches everyone a way to easily break through the limitations of the Windows 7 Media Center and let him play real format files.

We will use the rmvb format as an example to illustrate the specific steps of the implementation. Open “Start →Run”, enter “regedit”, press Enter to open the Registry Editor. Then locate the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT item and create a new one named "ldv;"rmvb” (If this item exists, you don't need to create a new one). Then create a new string in the form of a key value named "ldceivedType", and modify the value of this string to set "ld"; video & rdquo;. Exit the Registry Editor after completing the above steps. Open “Start →Windows Media Center→Movie →Movie Library”. At this time, if there is a file in the rmvb format in the monitored folder, it can be recognized by the media center and displayed in the list.

Adding other file formats is similar to the above process. We can also export the above rmvb registry key as a REG file. When registering movie files in other formats, we can directly modify the REG file in the format of the desired format, and then save the import registry to complete the format registration. Is it a lot simpler? The test also found that when the media center searches for movie media, it is simply identified by the file extension. In other words, if you do not want to perform the registry operation, directly change the extension of the rmvb file to the format supported by the media center (such as wmv, mpg, etc.), the file can also be recognized by the media center, of course, if there are more files, this The method is rather cumbersome.

For those who don't like to install RealPlayer and look at the online rmvb format. Please ignore RealPlayer, if any friend has a better solution, please tell the system Xiaobian.
