Hi,

I tried this but my smartscreen would not open the file, sayinig it would harm my hard drive.

Any thoughts?

I have no idea what 'smartscreen' is but I suspect it's not very good!

VideoLAN history:

'The project started as a student project at the French École Centrale Paris in 1996.

After a complete rewrite in 1998, it became Open Source, thanks to the agreement of the École Centrale Paris, in 2001.

The project started to open up to developers outside of the École.

It is now a worldwide project with developers from 20 countries.

Since 2009, the project is completely separated from École Centrale Paris, and is backed up by an autonomous non-profit organization.'

It has a long pedigree and is held in high regard. I doubt very much that a product that has been around for 15 years is likely to pose a threat. I have used this excellent player for many years and I have never had any anti-virus or malware alerts raised.

Of course, it is your choice whether you choose to risk it or not.

All sorted.

Thank you very much.
