• Cannot read the DVD with Windows Media Player

  Running WIndows Server 2008 R2.  Desktop experience is responsible.  In my view, that it includes Windows Media Player V12.

  Try to play the DVD.  The message "setting resolution".  Setting resolution does not help.

  Installed K-Lite Codec Pack full.  Get the same message on the resolution setting.  Uninstall K - Lite Codec Pack now I get ' WMP cannot play the DVD because no compatible DVD decoder is not installed on your computer.

  I'm a novice and dangerous, so no "step-by-steps" would be greatly appreciated.

  Hi MarkMann,

  Your question of Windows is more complex than what is generally answered in the Microsoft Answers forums. It is better suited for Windows Server on TechNet. Please post your question in the TechNet Windows Server forum.

• No reading DVD with Windows Media Player

  WMA crashed

  I used to use Nero on my old computer. I built a new computer and bought Vista and liked the use of Nero I installed it on Vista. During the installation it windows warned me that there is perhaps a conflict if I installed it. I went a head with him and of course, there was and nero would not work. I tried to uninstall it and was able to complete the removal of the program, because it has a conflict and stops. At this stage the WMP always worked very well. Recently, I installed a DIVX player... not by choice... I wasn't thjought I DL update or something, not a media player and pay any attention to any. So I removed the player and now I can't watch a DVD in my media player more. He tells me that windows media player has stopped working. I send the reports to help set and have nothing in return as in to solve the problem

  What are my options? Thank you!

  Hello casey_,

  Thank you for your response.

  In addition to the Bindu response, you can also try to perform a restore of the system to an earlier point before the installation of the program, and then check the issue. For more information about the use of system restore, please see the link below: System Restore

  If the problem persists, please relay the error message received when you try to play a DVD with Windows Media Player, and if the problem occurs when you try to play the DVD or single.

• Cannot copy a CD with Windows Media Player because there is not an option in this sense: Win 7 HPE

  I can't figure out how to rip tracks from a CD with Windows Media Player.  Loading of WMP, there is not listed as a choice of menu option or a tab options which includes RIP.  I see the titles of the tracks on the CD appears on the left of the screen and to PLAY BURN, and sync tabs in the upper right.  Choose BURN change the screen to tell that I can drag the titles to this area to be burned.  I tried to choose individual tracks and dragging their but nothing has changed.  I tried selecting all tracks with the same result.  I tried selecting a range, right click to get the context menu, but there is no other choice in the menu.  I found a how-to, but the view shown for WMP is not the same that I see.

  A screenshot:

  

  He is there software - see this link for an example (IE I do not recommend it!)

  http://www.ehow.com/how_5790301_rip-audio-tracks-DVD.html

  .. .but it always have to be careful with third party software - it can cause problems. Do some overlap before hitting the "Download" button and do not forget to uncheck the boxes for any unwanted attached to it.

  Regarding how I pick up? Pure just knowing how to look at the screens! Insert correct cd and you will see the difference.

• Cannot play a DVD in Windows Media Player

  When you try to play a DVD on my PC using Windows Media Player, Real Player, etc.. I get an error that reads: "Windows Media Player cannot play this DVD because there is a problem with the digital copy between your DVD drive decoder and video card protection. Try to install a driver available for your video card. I searched everywhere for an answer and although there seems to be a LOT out there with the same problem, I can't seem to find a straight answer. All Microsoft support is appreciated.

  ===============================================
  DVD playback requires a DVD decoder and the only versions
  Vista that included in Home Premium and Ultimate.

  Take a look at the following article:

  I get "Windows Media Player cannot play this DVD
  because a problem occurred with digital copyright protection"(C00D1163)?
  http://www.Microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/KnowledgeCenter/mediaadvice/0094.mspx#E3B

  DVD decoders are available at the following link:

  Info about DVD decoders:
  Plug-ins for Windows Media Player
  http://www.Microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/plugins.aspx

  FWIW... before installing the software, it is always better to create a system restore point.

  And... you can be able to play your DVDs with the free VLC Media Player:

  A last possibility would be to install a codec Pack:

  CCCP (combined Community Codec Pack)

• Where can I get directions to EXTRACT only the audio of a DVD with Windows Media Player v11

  Have investigated this question on the NET and seen various solutions (freeware), but I have just started using WMP to migrate my CD music in MP3 format.

  I have some great DVD rip also I want. Any direction is appreciated!

  Hi PEL7176,

  Windows media player only supports the extraction of CD and DVD not.

  You may need to use a third-party software to perform this procedure.

  NOTE: Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be resolved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

  Windows Media Player cannot copy or burn video DVDs.

  Here's a way to copy the DVD. You start by creating

  the following freeware can create an ISO Image
  that allows to burn copies.

  Download ImgBurn:

  I would say that you can download the last packs of codec for Windows Media Player to the Internet and check out them. Make a search using your favorite search engine.

• Cannot read bittorrent movie on windows media player

  I downloaded a movie from Bittorrent. Scanned it and his own, how can I get Windows media Player to read?

  RS

  There is absolutely no way of knowing what has been added or lack of torrents.  They cannot be infected (or your malware can just missed it), but this does not mean that they have been downloaded correctly or have been completed.

  The other aspect is that you may need a codec for this particular file type.  What is the extension for it?

• I burned an AVI to dvd with windows media player, but there is no audio data. What has gone wrong?

  I burned an avi file which was a movie to a blank dvd but therfe was no audio recorded.  What has gone wrong?

  I burned an avi file which was a movie to a blank dvd but therfe was no audio recorded.  What has gone wrong?

  ====================================
  There are several types of AVI files, and they can
  be problematic. Maybe the info would be
  be interesting reading... good luck.

  If you want to just put your video on a DVD for
  for archival purposes, you would create a data DVD.

  See the following article:

  Windows 7 - burn a CD or DVD in Windows Explorer
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/burn-a-CD-or-DVD-in-Windows-Explorer
  (See "to burn a disc using the ISO image format")

  To create a video DVD (which will play in)
  a free-standing DVD player)... you need DVD
  Software authoring as Windows DVD Maker.

  See the following articles:

  Windows 7 - burn a video DVD with Windows DVD Maker disc
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/burn-a-DVD-video-disc-with-Windows-DVD-Maker

  If you still have problems, the AVI may need to
  be converted to WMV format before burning.

  There are to many converters available on the net...
  some free, some details... the following freeware is
  just an example:

  (FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)
  Restore point before installing software or updates)

  Freemake Free Video Converter (freeware)
  http://www.Freemake.com/free_video_converter/
  (Windows XP / Vista / 7)
  (* Read * all * the installation screens... it)
  may be a few items you want to unmark *)

  When you have installed Freemake... Open Freemake
  and drag and drop your video files on the main screen.

  Or... Click left on the video button and navigate to the
  your video files are saved in the folder.

  Select (highlight) the files you want to import into
  Freemake and left, click on the button 'open '.

  When video files are imported into Freemake,
  On the left, click the WMV icon at the bottom of the screen.

  The 'WMV output settings' screen opens.

  Choose a folder ' save in ', so you can find the
  converted files.

  On the left, click the "Convert" button and wait for the files
  to convert.

  That should do it...

• Try burning your own movies on a DVD with Windows Media Player... Help, please

  I created a video in movie maker.  He recorded as a MP4 video that is 4.25 GB. The film is less than 30 minutes.  I'm trying to burn to a DVD + R that says it holds 8.5 GB / 240 minutes using Windows Media Player.  It is said that my file is too large to fit on the disk.  I don't understand why.  Help, please.

  I have seen other issues similar to mine where people suggested other software download burning DVDs.  If that's what I do, I'll do it.  However, I also know WHY the windows media player tells me that my file is too large because when I look at the numbers, it seems that it is NOT.  It seems that windows media player should be able to accomplish this simple task that I have to look for other software to download and learn.

  Thanks again!

  Windows Media Player can only burn files to DVD as data disc burning, the disc is not compatible with the DVD player. You can consult this guide, this is how burn mp4 movie to DVD, hope this helps you.

• Cannot sync Sansa e250 with Windows Media Player on Windows Vista

  OP: MP3 player does not connect. Sansa e250. Has worked before. Windows media player does not. Meter turns, but does not sinc for Windows Media Player

  Please help me solve this problem.

  Hello paj137,

  1. do you have an error when attempting to sync with Media Player, or everything just doesn't detect media player?

  2. don't you make changes to the computer before it stopped working?

  3. will the player detected in Windows Explorer?

  First check to see if the drive is detected on your computer. Try to copy the files of music from Windows Explorer.

  Most MP3 players will appear as a "disk" on your computer, and you can browse the files on them by simply opening.

  If you can do this, you should be able to copy / delete / move files between the MP3 player and the computer.

  Also try to set media player to manually synchronize with Media Player. This article should help you with that:
