I feel like I just hit the jackpot. <\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been bemoaning the lack of support for Nikon NEF 64 bit support for as long as I can remember inside Windows Explorer. And I\u2019ve been wishing for RAW support for NEF inside Media Center forever.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m happy to say that there is a really nice solution.<\/p>\n

The free image codec pack at http:\/\/www.fastpictureviewer.com\/codecs\/<\/font><\/a> had all the answers and gave me the brass ring. <\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a snippet from their web site on what is supported:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

I shoot Nikon RAW NEF.  And I have full support now inside Windows 7 RTM. Explorer thumbnails, even inside Windows Media Center. Here\u2019s the proof. Worth 3,000 words and a whole lot more.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"nef1\" <\/p>\n

Thumbnails inside Windows Explorer of my NEF files in Windows 7<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\"nef2\" <\/p>\n

Picture Details inside Windows Media Center\/Windows 7<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"nef3\" <\/p>\n

A folder filled with NEFs is now viewable inside Windows Media Center<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Yes, XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7 all can play with this. I\u2019m excited, are you? <\/p>\n
