Codec

to read my film says lack of codecs ive tried don't know much on this subject I have to do?

Hello tnblondey,

Thank you for visiting the Microsoft answers Site.

For help, please relay the file format of the video/movie file & if you use Windows Media Player as the program to read the DVD.

Please also relay the error message that you receive, and if the problem occurs with a single file or several files.

You can also check that the necessary codec to play the file is installed, and then check the issue.

For more information about the file type that supports Windows Media Player, you can view the link below:

Information on the types of media files that supports Windows Media Player

Windows Media Player automatically downloads the Microsoft Codecs and updates.  If a media file requires a codec left 3rd, you can use your favorite search engine to search for the necessary codec to play the file.

Here is a link with the additional information on the installation of codecs and How do I know what codec was used to compress a file.

  • How to keep the transitions of the Apple Photo Jpeg codec

    I made a slideshow a few years ago using iPhoto and exported in the form of film. It uses transitions strongly, especially of crossfades. Now when I try to upload it to a site like vimeo, the video must be converted using a standard codec such as H.264. Once converted, all transitions are lost to the gross final video in comparison.

    Is it possible to convert this video and preserve transitions?

  • Why do we say "a codec is needed" on the watchseries site, I've always used in the past with no problems?

    Laptop with windows 7, something must have gone wrong when I had to fix the latest problem of infections (the Bing bar) to my browser. I loaded the 'codec' (media player classic) but still could not play what I wanted on watchseries.ch... I made sure not to load the entire table of toolbars, etc. with this. These constant problems become ridiculous, fix you one thing and something else is wrong. In any case, I would appreciate any advice.

  • Install codecs without the drive

    You can install only codecs? Apple has ended support for Windows users, but the codecs are all that I need. I can even dump my iPhone on this service. It seems to me that Apple has turned their backs on all users of windows and I forgot that we always buy Apple products. It's a site too gross in my opinion.

    Apple ended the support of Windows for a 11 year old product. Things like this happen ever day.

    Use another player like VLC. No required additional codecs.

  • How to update the codec on laptop computer 2 open my files downloaded from the camcorder

    I recently bought a Sony HDR-TG7VE camcorder and have downloaded the software for it on my laptop, but I am not able to open the files after uploading video clips on my laptop.

    I contacted Sony and they said there is a problem with my laptop and I need to contact Toshiba to update the Codec.

    The message I get is "Windows cannot open this file. To open this file, windows needs to know what program you want to use to open it. Windows can go online to search automatically, or you can manually select from a list of programs installed on your computer.
    What do you do - use the web service to find the appropriate program
    -Select a program from a list of installed programs.

    I use windows vista business 32-bit operating system.

    The camcorder is an HD camcorder.

    It's really irresponsible response this manufacturer, cam.
    They offer products and they need to take care of you with that. It is logical that the recorded files should be open on every desktop or laptop PCs.
    According to their logic everyone who ACE this cam and who want to watch movies on PC should contact PC manufacturers support. It's really crazy.

    I don't know anything about this cam but normally you should have a few dist software with software that can help you to watch the movies or perhaps to convert files in other format and watch movies with standard players like Windows media player or VLC player.
