Well for one i wouldn't use WMP its a piece of shit..
I'd have to say I'm with Kakomu here. In my opinion, every revision since WMP 6.4 has been worse. It's all opinion of the individual though, I still use 6.4 to this day, but still have friends of mine using 7.1 and 9. There are also alternatives to M$ WMP, such as VLC Media Player, which can be obtained here: http://www.videolan.org/ It's really low on hogging resources and plays just about anything. For all I know you could've been talking about just the new WMP versions lol.. I don't know..

Lastly, in the end, I'm trying to stray as far away from DivX and other computer Video formats, considering that I don't like watching movies from my monitor anymore and I'm not too happy with the TV-out software that ATI has. I've mostly been trying to replace everything I have on CD with DVDs.
I'm doing the same thing right now. I've been going through my folder and watching all of my old previously burned anime on my tv through an ATI card. This will help me find out what's worth upgrading to DVD. Setting up the video out isn't really that hard.. All you have to do is >>
Right-click on desktop >>
Select Properties >>
Settings Tab >>
Select Display device 1 >>
Advanced Button >>
Displays Tab >>
Set monitor to the 2 box looking button >>
Set TV to the circle button >>

This should set your TV as the main source for video etc, and will clone over so that the image on your monitor and TV are the same. Be sure to have your resolution 1024x768 or lower... otherwise it will be too big for your TV to display the whole picture at once. I have an S-Video cable coming out of my videocard and into the TV via composite (yellow-RCA) with a converter because my TV does not have a s-video input >_<.
EDIT: Schultz I see your reply now, sorry my post went through after the reply lol..
