Media Player configuration ?

Question

I was checking default settings in control panel and under choose Default Media Player section, I see Use My Current Player,Quick Time,and Windows Media Player, choices. Use My Current Player is checked. What exactly does this do? I can use other one when I use the programs accordingly can't I ? What changes if I check Use Media Player as default? Will others work when needed? My Canon Camera uses Quick time for video.

If I would put MDP as default,when I plug in camera will automatically go to quick time since that is format for it?

Answer 1

If Windows Media Player is set to default, then your video and audio files will automatically play in wmp unless it's a format that wmp can't play. If you want quicktime as your default media player, then choose that instead of wmp as your default.

P.S. You can go into settings or preferences of wmp or qt and choose to have qt play video and wmp to play audio files. I use winamp to play my audio files but I like wmp for video.
