Although VLC is supposed to be automatically updated, try this anyway...

    I'm missing codecs for windows media player 11.0.6002.18311 any way I can reinstall it or get download missing codecs?

    Finally, I fixed my problem of codec.  It turns out that it is the 6.9.2.26 codec DIVX version.  I uninstalled all DIVX software and re-installed 6.8.5 and now everything works.  Windows Media Player 11 now play AVI encoded with mjpg, as well as Adobe first Elements 4 camera.  In addition, first elements will now load a DX50 encoded AVI, who had stopped working as well.

  • AVCHD missing codecs for Windows Media Player

    Somehow the codec for. MTS and. Video AVCHD M2TS files have been removed from the Windows Media Player support files. It is possible that the DivX codec, I have installed third party announced on the Internet may be the culprit. (I have since uninstalled this application.) But because Microsoft does not allow me to download a new copy of WMP, I don't know how to restore these codecs. It's embarrassing because I am a videographer and have designed and built my premium system for HD video work.

    As a side note, I have Cyberlink PowerDVD which will play Blu - Ray and other MTS and M2TS files, but I much prefer to use WMP. Suggestions how to recover my WMP components? Thanks for your suggestions.

    Thanks for your suggestions. I tried everything that you and other recommended without success, but done to restore my drive system from a backup system 3 - months. Once that all the drivers and third-party programs updates (automatically in most cases), everything worked well, and I didn't have to reinstall my Windows 7 Pro. I'm happy now. Thanks again.

  • codecs for windows media player

    I have the windows media player 11 on windows XP. I was able to "burn" the many CDs in the past. Now I can listen to mp3 music, that I have loaded on it, but can "burn" a copy on a CD, same with music, I 'burned' before. X red lights next to each song and said that there is error COOD - 11 7 or COOD-BC2. I found and would be dl and installed: MicrosoftFixit.wu. ; K Lite_Codec_Pack_790_Basic; XP_Codec - Pack_2.5.1; Media.Player.codec.Pack.v4.1.1. I have restart fterwards, none of them doesn't seem to help. Is there a newer package of codec I need? What I am doing wrong?

    of jmorris 108:

    OMG! I fixed it! :)
    I found and dl had installed this package of codec, from a free site, then the computer restarted:
    Media.Player.codec.Pack.v4.1.1.Setup.
    As a big test, I even used a CD - R that I erased first. It worked fine! I'm listening to the Cd that I made while typing this.

    The "K-Lite 79', rec had in an article posted above has done nothing but take me to his website with a lot of confusing instructions and rec including many dl to use?

    Thanks again for your help.

    p.s. I would still like to know things, I asked above: I'm sure it will come soon, and I would like to know how to do these things.

    Where this command prompt window? I checked in the Control Panel, user accounts, I am registered as an administrator already. I never use the guest account.

    ? the Start button in the lower left corner of the screen? mine has not 'start' or a window to type in? Start on another program? where do you mean? I see nothing like WMP either? I checked in the Control Panel, I am registered as Administor already

  • Cannot set the default value to all files video VLC media player.

    Windows media player and others fail microsoft products support the vlc media player file extension ".mkv" plays however each video I ever want to watch and I have NEVER downloaded a codec package. It is a FAR superior program and way easier to use.  the question I have is that when I try to set it on the media player by default it will not accept as a program.  I can browse programs open my .mkv film, find vlc and click on it to use it to open my file and nothing happens. the only way I am able to make this film to play is to open vlc media player and select media play in the drop-down menu inside the vlc player.

  • VLC Media Player WARNING

    Note that this is a Legacy FAQ and contains information that is more current. See the update below for the current situation.

    Dell technical support is to deny service guarantee for speaker damage if the popular VLC Media Player is installed on a Dell laptop. Also, we got a report that the service was rejected because a KMPlayer is installed on a laptop. The guarantee remains valid on the other parts of the laptop.

    VLC has a function that can make the sound seems stronger than other players. VLC does this by using a process that creates a hard clipping (see below in this thread for explanation) which can damage the small speakers. Dell has tested VLC and checked the speakers may be damaged after several hours of use of VLC. I think that HP (Hewlett Packard) also asserts that VLC damage are not covered by the warranty.

    If you choose to use the VLC Player, it is suggested that you do not set the volume to 100% to avoid potential damage to the speakers. If you contact Technical Support about a problem of speaker, it is suggested that you have not installed the player.

    If you have already been rejected warranty service for a speaker only problem because you have the VLC Player, please see the next post which is marked "verified the answer." Send DELL - Terry B a private message. The way to do is to click on his link, which is its name in blue letters. This will take you to their profile page where you can click 'Send private message' or 'add as friend '.

    LAST UPDATED 27/01/2016

    From 03/03/2014 exclusion is no longer applied to the models that have Windows 8 or 8.1. Exclusion still applied to systems of Windows 7 that did not have the latest audio driver and BIOS installed.

    The latest version of VLC Media Player audio boosts only 125%, not the 200-400% of earlier versions, so the question is perhaps moot now anyway. (Note that there is still a risk if you use a software to increase the volume of more than 100%. Dell recommends not to go more than 90 %.)

    Great post Jimco

    If someone has been denied assistance by technical support when troubleshooting only executed has been to find VLC player installed please feel free to private message me. Just click on the link in my signature or my portrait and then click Start conversation.  In your message, please include your contact information, serial number of the laptop and any number of cases that support can be offered. I'll be happy to continue the investigation.

    For those of you who have requested official documentation of Dell on the Please topic, take a look at the following link.

    Problem with the volume while using VLC media player

    When you use VLC media player, the volume can be increased to maximum power. Finally, it distorts the speaker output. If audio/video playback is made permanently using VLC with volume max (100%) over a period of time, then even if the volume is kept at a lower level sound would be distorted. This distortion is permanent.

    Why does this happen?

    Some audio applications like VLC player will allow high power output per speaker, about 200 to 400% of the original audio production. In this case, excessive use can damage the speaker.

    What is the resolution?

    If you use VLC or any other software amplification, ensure that the built-in audio output is set to 90% and the output volume of the software of the amplification is set to 95%

  • Firefox keeps blocking Java plugins, I've updated several times, but the problem persists "VLC media player Web Plugin 2.1.3" update now don't workr

    I've updated the VLC media player a dozen times in the last week or two, but it continues to not work, with a message from Firefox to come saying "Web PluginVLC Web Plugin 2.1.3 vulnerable 2.1.3.0 VLC media player update now". All other plugins seem to now, Firefox said recently that many of them had recently updated and all the others worked.
    Almost all the websites that I visit comes up with a message saying that the plugin is obsolete and has been blocked and I think maybe I should just give up Firefox and use another browser.

    Yes, it would be wise to delete this program VLC.

  • Is there a possibility that MusicBrainz can be added as a data provider for Windows Media Player

    When you use Windows Media Player, I was hurt a lot to identify my music. A lot of music I have is not available in the Microsoft music meta service database. What gives? Would be nice if Microsoft could be added to their database. MusicBrainz is a big data provider for Windows Media Player and would make it easier for information about the available media. Data MusicBrainz are permitted in the public domain and some under Creative Commons (CC) license. I don't think that Rovi has a contract saying to Microsoft data to use. I can cite other data in addition to the AMG providers: Journal of CD Japan, CD newspaper China, ZACR DBS and feedback from users. I can almost guarantee you if Microsoft used the MusicBrainz data, Windows Media Player would be much easier for the Organization of the music. Data MusicBrainz are much better quality than WMP user feedback data.
