I was getting tired of the slow crappy iTunes and just downloaded winamp.

Anybody know why I get no picture for my videos? I can hear the audio just fine but there is no picture. What am i missing here?

I'm not sure if you need to download a codec pack or not, but you might need to. ... dunno. If you do, make sure it's legitimate because there are lots of fake codecs out there that are malware.

If you're sure winamp supports .mp4 files then it's definitely the DRM preventing them from being played. If you're not sure then it's possible it just doesn't support .mp4, I'm not sure if it supports it or not.

If it's a DRM issue then there might be something you can do, but you'll have to figure that out on your own as that sort of thing isn't discussed here.
