Media player 9 won't recognize .ogm files as being video. ..

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.video (More info?)

I've associated .ogm with media player 9, but double-
clicking on an ogm file brings up a window saying "The
selected file has an extension that is not recognized by
Windows Media Player"...
Then gives options Yes or No to play the file. I always
choose Yes, which works, but I'm wondering why the "Don't
ask me again for this extension" checkbox is useless.
(You also can't drag & drop .ogm files into Media Player
either.)

What version of wmp.dll is on your system?
http://support.microsoft.com/defau [...] -us;823275
has one update that affects the ability of WMP to classify the files. From
that point, it should just be a matter of the OGM plug-in creator to
properly register OGM files.
