Yep, it's said that...
But it's said "problems", not that "You can't" ;-)
That means (at least in my case) running the video on a WMP ('round) version 7, under Classic. (U don't have to reboot... just "Classic").
It works for me.
That missed codec is an obsolete one, so it really does not help to have the latest version of wmp. Try earlier, instead ;-)
