If you select "download codec automatically" within WMP then disable it it'll just DL the Sony one for your camera. From then
onwards it'll work.
Otherwise, as already said, use VLC!! That plays anything!!!!

I don't use VLC any more since it had the nasty habit of causing my PC to reboot whilst playing Matroska (MKV) files, and no amount of messing
around fixed it.
GOM Player is now my media player of choice. It has virtually all codecs built in, so you don't need
codec packs etc. but you can use Windows codecs if you need to.
