    How do I install Media Player Classic (MPC) with both RealAlternative and QuickTimeAlternative plug-ins combined? Do I install RealAlternative first with MPC, then QuickTimeAlternative without MPC? Can someone please walk me through the installation so I don't wind up with two installations of MPC?

    By the way, is MPC a good enough alternative to AsusDVD and Windows Media Player that I can unload both AsusDVD and WMP and use MPC instead?

    Can I use MPC to load .WMA files/playlists into the SanDisk Sansa e200 Series MP3 Players?

    Thanks!

    First, Media Player Classic is a great alternative for Quicktime and Real Media, and in regard to your question there should be an option to just install the plugin when you have MPC already installed. It shouldn't matter which one you install first, just deselect the option to install MPC the second time around.
    In regard to dumping WMP and and AsusDVD I would still keep them around. You might run into problems and it's always nice to have a backup option to play your media.

    I just used the K-Lite Mega Codec Pack, which included both Real Alternative and QuickTime Alternative (and many codecs).
