Tried to play a movie but used to Windows 7 Media Player read the file. Something telling me to download a codec or something.

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

    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.

    I wanted to just send you this.
  • 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

  • Just installed update for Windows Media Player 11 and now, all the songs I had in my library before the update, I get the message you need a license to play these songs.

    These songs have been copied to my computer from the CD that I bought at retail, and have played several times.  Is there a process where they can be reinstated? I don't know if it's the right word, but I hate having to download individual licenses for these songs. And why doesn't IE throw me on the internet as soon as the download license screen happens?  Do I have to uninstall the update?

    Hello

    1. What is the exact error message you get?
    2. what version of Internet Explorer you are using?
    3. do you have an error message when Internet Explorer throws you off the screen?
    4. you remember the update that caused the problem to occur?

    Follow the steps in this article and see if the problem still occurs.

    ========================================
    I was wondering... you are totally unable to download the file
    on your hard drive? Or... you can download the file to your hard drive
    by car, but simply cannot display it?

    If you right click the executable for Windows Media Player and
    in the menu choose... Properties / Compatibility tab is...
    Windows 95, chosen for Compatibility Mode? If_Yes_try
    unchecking the box / apply / OK.

    It might be the next thread deals with the same issue...
    a few ideas:

    (2) that you get any notification or message to update the security component?

    I want to clarify if you are referring to the link below

    Method 1: If you are running a 64-bit version of Windows Vista(x64), then on the button Update on the site can be dimmed, you need to start Internet Explorer by using an account on the computer that has administrative privileges to be able to continue.

    Method 2: There is a 32-bit version of IE7/IE8 in Vista which are located in the folder "Program Files x 86" in the Local C: drive.

    Navigate to the location and then try to run 32-bit Internet Explorer

    "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Internet.

    Double-click iexplore.exe to launch 32 bit Internet Explorer (IE) and then try to navigate to setting component security update link above, check if you can click on the upgrade button.

    Hi Query1000,

    Since you have Windows media player 11 on the system, you can uninstall the update of security for Windows media player 9. This will also help increase disk space.

  • 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.
