Zerothis is flying high
Default how can I play .tar.gz .z or .zip in MPC directly?

mp3, mpeg, wmv, are compressed files that Media Player Classic play by decompressing them in memory using a codec.
.zip .gz and .z files are compressed files. Why can't MPC play them directly?
Are their codecs for .zip, .tar.gz, and .z that i can register for MPC?
I have done some weird things to MPC that worked before. Like dragging a CD .iso files on to it to play. It worked with some codec packs but not all.I onced dragged an image file of a homemade DVD disc to play it also. That was with the K-Lite codec pack.

?

Not 100% on this, but mp3, mpeg, wmv and avi are defined as containers, not archives.

zip and tar are compressed archives.

To me that seems like a big difference. Others might disagree ?

I really don't see why you want to be able to play them directly either. Are you lacking space on harddrive or what?

AFAIK GZip (gz), BZip (bz), Unix compressed (z), Tar, etc. are all compressed archives. So likewise as Sleepless said.
