We know Windows Media Center in Windows 7 supports only several file formats in default. In order to extend more file format support for Windows Media Center, here is a workround to make it.
First of all, we need a registry hack to add the ability to display more files of other formats to Windows Media Center.
Copy the followings to a new document text and save as a MCE.reg and add it to the registry.
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.RM]
"PerceivedType"="video"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.RMVB]
"PerceivedType"="video"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.DAT]
"PerceivedType"="video"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.MP4]
"PerceivedType"="video"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.MOV]
"PerceivedType"="video"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.TS]
"PerceivedType"="video"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.TP]
"PerceivedType"="video"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.MKV]
"PerceivedType"="video"
And now, it's time for the codecs. K-Lite Codec Pack + K-Lite Codec Pack v5.05 Final is a nice choice.
