• How to play .asx files in Windows Media Player

  original title; Can I play a video file of .asx with WMP? or if not, how to play with this extension .asx files?

  Can I play a video file of .asx with WMP? or if not, how to play with this extension .asx files?

  When I try to play the file, WMP shows error then update says "video codec".

  How then can I get this update for the video codec?

  Thank you, Michael Phelps 907

  Hi Mike,.

  an .asx file is not a media file. It is a file that contains a pointer to a content online. So if you are unable to read a .asx file and are able to play other files using Windows Media Player so the best thing is to open the .asx, a Notepad file. When you open the .asx using Notepad, you will see a link that starts by http: and so on. Please copy this link and go to Windows Media Player. On the Windows Media Player window, press the Alt key on the keyboard and click file and Open url. Paste the link and check if Windows Media Player is able to open the link. If she opens the link this is a problem with the formatting of the .asx file and if it does not open the link then it is a problem with the server online of the .asx file. It could be that it is deleted from the server.

  Hope this information helps. Keep us informed on the status of the issue.

• Play AIFF files in windows media player

  Hello

  I'm reading some AIFF files in windows media player. I get the error message "Windows media player cannot play the file. The player might not support the file type or does not support the codec used to compress the file."

  As WMP supports AIFF files I guess it's a problem with the codec.

  Is there a solution out there that I can play the files?

  Cheers, Matt.

  Where are the files? Are you sure that they are in the AIFF format?

  You can try to install FFDShow . If this does not help, please open some of the files in GSpot , this program will signal the audio codec used in the file. Then, you can report this codec here.

  Have you installed a third-party codec pack?

  Windows Media Player cannot play the FLV files. You will need a third party FLV player to play these files or you will need to install the latest codecs pack

  My PC: Windows Vista Business

  ==================================
  M4A is not a compatible format. The simple solution
  is to convert .m4a files in .wma format and
  then import into Movie Maker.

  The following free Converter works for me...

  I joined just thinking... the free VLC Media Player

  FLV (Flash content), which is based on the web, is not supported in Windows Media Player. You have to find a third party codec package that supports flash or try a different media player on the internet.
