oh man im sry, i jsut re-read that and it kinda made me sound like an a$%, i was kinda tring to poke fun at how we arent able to have all the codecs and stuff and yes i have downloaded the extra codecs (the ones already compliled in a .pup or .tar.gz file but im talking like the ones we still dont get, like wma or wmv or the quicktime formats and if we dont have codecs is there atleast a video converter to convert the video (altho i do realize that in theory in order to convert the file the program must be able to read the file, thus needed the codec) but another thought is it possible to run a windows program through a mounted NTFS format hard drive? sorta like a hacked wine program to load the windows hard drive and then somehow scanning the programs list for installed programs it can run in linux, through windows? (like windows media player)

check this out, just go to google or your fav search engine and just type in audio/video converter there are tons of them out there and im pretty sure you can find one to run under puppy, as far as getting the wma and wmv codecs for another programs is very unlikely, as microsoft will die before it lives to say the day that that happens. for pure reference, I don't think there is any media player out there that can play everything, windows media player supports a wide variety of formats but it cant play everything. as far as the wine thing goes you're on your own there, I've never used wine before because I've never had to, so if thats the way you want to go good luck to you on that one.

Puppy by default plays some popular formats.
If one does not work, install a newer mediaplayer, or even additional codecs:

I think there is a small codec-pack in Pupget.

converter

Will convert just about anything to just about anything, including lots of things that winblows will not without stumping up a lot of cash - but beware it needs the command line
Enjoy

MU and ecomoney are right, ffmpeg and mencoder will convert most files (mencoder uses the ffmpeg library).
... but why convert at all? This version of MPlayer http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=13216
plays all modern codecs "out-of-the-box" including all the ones you mentioned.
