Codecs are for the formats, wmv, xvid, divx, etc. I don't think that you need a codec per se to play a wide screen video. Maybe update WMP or download a multi-codec pack and reboot to fix your WMP's performance.

kinda offtopic but i play all movies on my comp via tv out with the Core Mediplayer: http://www.corecoded.com/
I noticed BSplayer has those little squares you see alot when you watch action movies with lots of movement... Core player is smooth as fuck!

My thoughts exactly on the codecs .. it was a techy that told me I needed a codec for Windows media player . how ever he didn't know which one .. which is why I brought the question here ...

Like I said it plays fine with real player and BSplayer .. just not media player .. I was wondering why
