WMP12: GREATER SUPPORT FOR VIDEO FORMATS :

Windows Media Player 12 (WMP12) was very fresh. One of the big news is a mode of reproduction and the other library. A small button placed on the bottom, right, allows you to navigate between the two. It is best support for video formats. For the first time, Microsoft natively supports formats other than their own. Thus, the popular DivX / XviD, MPEG4 (H.246) are played without difficulty.
Taking advantage of the technology created for homegroups the WMP12 do streaming of files stored on other computers within the same group. It is also possible to control peripheral devices that are connected in that network.


WORK IN NETWORK:

For anyone who is working on a home network, there is a new way to simplify the creation of groups. These are designed to simplify the sharing of files between authorized members of the network / group. You can access it from the Control Panel or from the Network and Sharing Center. Then you can just create the homegroup for all existing computers in your home can share the data. Something much simpler the process that existed in Vista.
Also in the Network and Sharing Center, emphasize the fact that the management of wireless networks is a little different. Now, when you click to look at the available networks, there is a popup menu and can connect to the network selected by pressing a new button Connect. Again, the process is simplified.
