• Media Player cannot play, need to video codec not installed. What codec? Where do I get it? How to install it?

  Media Player cannot play, need to video codec not installed.  What codec?  Where do I get it? How to install it?

  Hello
   
   
  
  The video codec that is required to decode and display the video can not be installed on your computer.
  
  Today, there are hundreds of audio and video codecs in use. Some were created by Microsoft, but the vast majority of codecs have been created by other companies, organizations or individuals. By default, the Windows operating system and the player includes a number of the most popular codecs, such as MP3, Windows Media Audio and Windows Media Video.
   
  
  Method 1.
  How to determine what codec is installed and how to install it automatically?
  a. to determine what codec was used with a specific file, play the file in the player, if possible. When the file is playing, right-click the file in the library, and then click Properties.
  b. on the file tab, look at the sections of video codec and Audio codec.
  Download and install the Codecs by going to the PLAYER tab and check.
  c. connect you to the Internet and Download Codecs automatically.
  For more information about codecs, see the articles below:
  Codecs: Frequently asked questions
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/codecs-frequently-asked-questions
  
  Method 2.
  If you know the name of the codec or its ID (called a id FourCC for video codecs or a WaveFormat identifier for audio codecs), try the search on the Internet. Often, you can go to the codec manufacturer's Web site to download the latest version of a codec.

• Windows Media won't play a DVD

  How com windows media won't play a dvd, even with a decoder, I added this morning?

  I'm having the same problem. My computer has Windows XP Professional Office. Media Player 11 is on it. But when I try to play a DVD, it says "Windows Media Player cannot play the DVD because no compatible DVD decoder is not installed on your computer" is not Media Player got it own decoder? I don't want to download some other decoder from another provider that I don't know. I got Windows Media Player on every computer I've ever owned and have never had problem reading DVD or something else. What is the problem and how to fix it? My computer has a DVD driver... and yet I can't watch DVDs... makes no sense...

  And yes the DVD play on other computers and DVD player to the TV. Not a scratch above. Nothing wrong with the DVD. ANY DVD will not play the computer, with the fact that I have a problem...

  And Yes, I am talking about Windows Media Player.

  =================================================

  A DVD decoder is not included with Windows XP...
  so, we need to be acquired and installed from a third
  the party source. If your system has one when it was new...
  It would have been included in your OEM software
  package... maybe you always for her installation disk.

  The site has a few suggestions:

  Info about DVD decoders: Plug-ins for Windows Media Player
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Windows-Media-Player-plug-ins

  
  FWIW... the free VLC Media Player can play DVDs
  and you shouldn't have any additional codecs.

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

  VLC Media Player (32-bit Version)
  http://www.filehippo.com/download_vlc_32/
  (works on XP, Vista, 7, 8)
  (the name of the file to download is: vlc - 2.0.4 - win32.exe)

• Windows Media won't play a .wav file

  got this error message "Windows Media Player cannot play the file because the required video codec is not installed on your computer."

  Hi cjln2,

  (a) what version of the Windows operating system do you use on the computer and which version of Windows Media Player do you use?

  (b) this only happens with this particular file or every file that you are trying to play?

  This problem occurs if a necessary codec to play the file is not installed on the computer.

  A codec is software that uses player to decompress a file before playing, for more information on codecs see the link below

• Windows Media Player cannot play back the video DVD.

  Windows Media Player cannot play back the video DVD. You may need to adjust your Windows display settings. Open display settings in Control Panel, and then try to lower your screen resolution and color quality settings.

  Original title: Windows Media Player cannot play back the video DVD. You may need to adjust your Windows display settings. Open display settings in Control Panel, and then try to lower your screen resolution and color quality settings.

  I was troubleshooting video playback issues throughout the morning after the reconstruction of a machine with a fresh install of W7 Ultimate, shot a few questions there.

  The first and foremost reason I couldn't play THE VIDEOS was due to the ATI Rage video card that was in the machine, proved that this card was not compatible for playback of DVD video on W7.  No problem with the system of video files (.avi, .mpg, .mp4, etc.), only reading DVD.  Disabling this card and media player running with a standard VGA device allowed me to play regular DVD movies very well.

  Another question, I stumbled on was with burned copies of the DVD, it turned out that my system DVD players, (2, one is a HP630E and the other is a typical ATAPI DVD DD internal 8 x 16), have a problem with playing movies engraved on DVD - RW discs.  Playing discs DVD-R worked well on this system.

  So in your case I try to disable the video device and let the system first use a VGA Standard, if your video plays well then check with the making of video for a updated driver device, saying "you have made any changes" does not mean that the system did not have a bad patch somewhere...

• Play audio and video in a player?

  Hello

  Is it possible to play audio and video is the same player?

  If I give the video url video will play and even sound?

  I think you can do a work arround as follows-

  In both cases, you create the plyaer in same way-

  A player = Manager.createPlayer (urlToPla);
  Player.Realize ();

  But in the case of video, we get the VideoControl and get the associated display field.

  VideoControl videoControl is player.getControl("VideoControl") (alarm);.
  Field videoField = (videoControl.initDisplayMode) (field)
  VideoControl.USE_GUI_PRIMITIVE,
  "net.rim.device.api.ui.Field");

  and then we add this field to the display Manager.

  Then first check to see if you get the field correctly prior to adding(as in case of audio this may be null)-

  If (videoField! = null) {}

  Add (videoField);

  }

  I have not tried, but give it a try, it may be useful.

• All of a sudden my Elements 7 won't load all the video files not saying not supported

  Suddenly my Elements 7 won't load all the video files saying not supported, I rebooted, uninstalled and reinstalled but it refuses to work any ideas please

  If you are video comes from a Hi8 camcorder, then it is analog, which has been digitized. And how and what facilities allowing you to scan this video may be important. But, since you say that you have changed this video before in Premiere Elements without a problem, I'll assume this isn't the question at the moment - although it could certainly be. Especially since you use a such relatively old version of Premiere Elements, one that requires you to manually configure your project.

  In fact, try to download the trial version of the latest version of Premiere Elements and see if you experience the same problem. The current versions of the program are many more automatically and are capable of managing a much wider range of video file formats. You don't have to buy the program. Just try free trial and see if you still experience the same problems.

  If nothing else, install the trial version 14 version COULD even repair what has been damaged in your codec library, if that's your problem in version 7.

• Project Windows Movie Maker won't play in Windows Media Player

  I created a 'film' in Windows Movie Maker - not a bad little program.  I used to be a professional video tape, and you can do things with Movie Maker and that you can't do with the edition of tape cassette - even in a television station in a big city.

  The film plays well in Movie Maker, but he won't play in Windows Media Player (Version 11).  I have Vista Home Version on my computer.

  I want to be able to send e-mail to friends and family who do not have Windows Movie Maker - but have Windows Media Player (not sure which versions have all my friends).  Until now, whenever I try to play the movie in Media Player, I get the following 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.

  When I click on the "get help from web" button, it takes me to this page:

  http://www.Microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/Webhelp/default.aspx?&mpver=11.0.6002.18111&ID=C00D1199&ContextId=83&OriginalID=80040265

  This page does not give me the solution to the problem and gives me no option to download/install the codec I need.  I don't know what a codec is and don't really care to know.    I just need to know:

  Should which codec I?

  Where can I download it?

  What are the two products of Microsoft.  Can they be compatible?  One of the options presented during "editing" the file is to be sent by e-mail.  Not much good if the e-mail recipient is unable to play.

  I can also play the movie using Real Player or I-Tunes - but it of okay for me if they work in these players or not, since my friends and family would be no players on their computers.
