OK I see what you mean now - I could see the Audio links and thought
that's what you were clicking on. After a tortous 7 step process to
reach the video via registration for the event, the video dates from
2004, when the world was a simpler place.
The ACELP audio codec is long long since superceded by for example WMA
voice, AAC+ and other formats, and is not provided with modern WMP or
on the microsoft download servers.
However WMP12 still enables plugin decoders of many types - in this
case a DirectShow decoder is required due to the age of the codec.
The VoiceAGE codec is (probably) orphaned and available from this page
http://www.free-codecs.com/download/Acelp_net_Codec.htm
Download and unzip the file to a suitable download folder, then
*right-click* the Vista_Install_AcelpNET selected from the Vista link
on the download page. Choose "Run as Administrator" for this to work.
OK to "Do you want to install the VoiceAge ACELP.NET audio codec?"
then you should see a popup "DLlRegisterServer in MFT_anet.dll
succeeded"
Following that, close and restart media player 12, and double click
the livemeeting WMV file to play. The sound quality leaves a lot to be
desired so I imagine it's not been worth them re-encoding it using a
modern audio codec which everbody has.
HTH
