  May be that the video file format is not compatible with Windows Media Player.

  Options: -.

  1] download and install VLC Player. It's free and supports file formats more than WMP.

  2] download and install the codecs

  Personally, I prefer VLC Player-if you have that then not need to download and install the codec of any third party.

• Media Player will not work "Windows Media Player cannot play the file because the required video codec is not installed on your computer."

  I currently have Windows 8.  However, when I try to play a seminar online on the internet, I get the following message is displayed:

  Windows Media Player can not play the file because the required video codec is not installed on your computer.

  Can someone point me in the right direction to solve this problem?

  Please and thank you!

  Hello

  Welcome to the Microsoft Community forums.

  I understand that you are not able to play a Webinar on the windows computer using Windows Media Player 8.

  I would be grateful if you can provide us with the following information to help us better understand the issue.

  1 you get an error code or the name of the codec to install?

  2. are you able to play other files with Windows media player?

  3. What are the file format of the multimedia files that you are not able to play using Windows media player?

  4. are you referring to the video file saved using Webinar?

  This problem is caused if the file format is not supported by windows media player.

  Codec compresses or decompresses media files. Windows media player uses codecs to play and create media files.

  See the link below for the types of files supported by windows media player.

  https://support.Microsoft.com/kb/316992?WA=wsignin1.0

  You can also refer to a link to find out what codecs are installed on your computer.

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/codecs-frequently-asked-questions#codecs-frequently-asked-questions=Windows-8

  Additional information:

  See the link below if you receive a playback audio codec error but video does not play when you play files multimedia in Windows Media player 11, as shown in the link also applies to Windows Media player 12.

  I hope this helps. If you have any other questions, we will be happy to help you.

• Windows Media Player cannot play the file because the required video codec is not installed on your computer. How can I correct this situation?

  It recently advised me to switch to Firefox.

  Hello

  Please find the supprotURL:

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/926373

  Windows 7 and WMP 12 don't play many types of files in the box, you need additional configuration. :(

  Attention if you got this message to a folder ".wmv", which should impose no extra codec (coder-decoder), this type of codec will probably install viruses on your computer. You can see the file extension in Windows Explorer or in the name of the file if you have configured via the "Tools |" Folder options | View menu"to do so, or in the Details view, the 'Type' column should display something like"File WMV", or in this case,"the Windows Media audio/video file.

  If it's a real file, for example a Flash (".flv"), ".mkv" file or a DVD Blu - Ray, you have to play on a third party such as VLC Player, or download the appropriate codec. There are a bunch of them packed in a secure facility on shark007 (dot) net and the Blu - Ray, probably your computer comes with a DVD playing software that should do the trick, although the codec that comes with it is not compatible with WMP.

• I went to play a DVD on my computer this evening and received this msg: Windows Media Player cannot play the DVD because no compatible DVD decoder is not installed on your computer.

  DVD decoder not installed?

  I went to play a DVD on my computer this evening and received this msg: Windows Media Player cannot play the DVD because no compatible DVD decoder is not installed on your computer.
  A few weeks ago, I played DVD on my computer. I would like to know what is happening. Any ideas/suggestions?

  I tried to play one of the same DVDs I played before... same message.  Nothing to my knowledge has been removed from my computer and I'm the only one with access... "very confused.

  Thanks if anyone can help.

  Yes, and if you install the utility on your system, you'll see all decoders.

  The utility will also tell you if a decoder is compatible or not.

  Using Media Player version 10 or 11?

  the utility tells me I have no decoder... the only thing I can think is that if I actually deleted it... I rarely remove anything because I do not add a lot... but it is possible a few weeks ago, I have to get rid of some things (I'm quite cautious because I'm not an expert).   It is the Media Player version 11, I was trying to use... but I rebooted now 10 to see if there was something to update related that mess.

  because I used the VLC Player successfully, I have not yet tried Windows Media Player (since WMP reloading and load the codec pack)

  So great to have the entry of a person who knows what he's doing.  Thanks again. I will try the Windows Media Player later and see if I have his use of return.

  Have a great day!

• Windows Media play cannot play your DVDs because no compatible decoder is not installed on your computer

  I get this message when I try to play my DVD

  Windows Media play cannot play your DVDs because no compatible decoder is not installed on your computer

  You must purchase and install a few dvd playing software. It takes a codec to play DVDs that will come with this software like powerdvd, windvd. Once installed, you can then choose your Media Player for watching DVDs.
