• 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.

• Error: Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The player can not support the Codec that was used to compress the file, MP3 downloads will not play

  Original title: MP3 downloads don't play no not on WMP

  My Windows Media Player recently stopped playing downloads from Amazon. I've never had this problem before. I installed VLC Player, has not worked... off the WMP in the Windows app, restarted, turned on the back and restarted... did not help. I get the message "Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The player may not support the Codec used to compress the file. This is for multiple downloads, so I don't think they would be all corrupted files.

  Hello
   
  Have you done any software or changes to the material on the computer before this problem?
   
  You mentioned that the files do not play on a third-party player as well. I suggest you to check if the files are corrupt.

  I'm trying to download a map of the flower garden and the media player stands up and says that it can not locate the codec used to compress the file. I have Windows XP Professional and service pack 3

  You most likely need a Codec package for your video player. The codecare like translators who take the image video format and encode or decode for display in your favorite media player. I would recommend that you download and install the K-Lite Codec pack from here.

  Hey Taylor09,

  You may find that you are getting this message in Windows Media Player due to one of the following reasons.

  a. you try to play a file that is not supported by the player.

  b. you are trying to play a file that the player does not support, but the file was compressed by using a codec that is not supported by the player.

  Step 1:

  Confirm that you are trying to play a supported file type. The following article lists the types of files (formats) supported by Windows Media Player.

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

  Note that if you tried to play the file type is included in this table, the file might have been encoded with a codec that is not supported by Windows Media Player. If this is the case, Windows Media Player cannot play the file.

  Step 2:

  Download the necessary codec to play the file.

• When I go to read some files I downloaded (films), I get an error message windows media player cannot play the file the player might not support the file type or is unable to support the codec used to compress the file.what is the answer

  I have windows vista media player 11 ultimat.windows. now, I was told to find the right codec... How do this.and where can I get the right codec from.and will it upset my computer in any way.not computer minded.so please tell me slower.

  Hey,.

  There might be times, however, when you want to read the content that is compressed with a codec that does not include Windows or the default player. In many cases, you can download the necessary codec on the web for free or for a fee. And, in some cases, the player can automatically use the codecs installed by other reading programs and the creation of digital media on your computer.

  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.

  Warning
  Use caution when installing codecs that you find on the Internet, in particular some of the free codec packs that claim to include codecs from a wide variety of companies or organizations. Incompatibilities are known to exist with some of the components in these codec packs that can cause serious playback issues in the player and other players, lead to the corruption of the system and make it difficult for Support from Microsoft to diagnose and solve playback problems. For these reasons, we strongly discourage you from installing these codec packs, and recommend that remove you them if you have installed them and you are having problems with the player. Install only codecs, filters or plug-ins from reliable sources, authorized, such as the website of the official supplier. Even in this case, beware: some codec suppliers offer minimal customer. Before you install the components of digital media, set a system restore point. The restore point to go back to the configuration of your system, if necessary.

  Install codecs may solve the problem in most conditions.

  Hi bbdunford,

  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.

   

  You may encounter this error message for the following reasons:

  (a) the file type is supported by the drive, but the file was compressed by using a codec that is not supported by the player.

  (b) the file might have been encoded with a codec that is not supported by Windows Media Player. If this is the case, Windows Media Player cannot play the file.

  Windows media player will play only the files and videos only if it supports this type of file.

  Method 1

  Check if the video file format is supported by Windows media player using the link below.

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

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/316992

  If the files are not supported by Windows media player, then you will need to use a few players from third party that supports this file format.

  Method 2

• Unable to play video, lack the codec indeo 5

  Indeo 5 removed from XP/Windows.

  I'm trying to play videos of when my child was a baby. A few precious memories - although taken with a Webcam.

  I am running Windows XP SP 3. Research on the forum here, it seems that the codec has been removed from windows. And unless I pay a company in 20 US dollars more or less, I won't get to see these videos. Sounds like inmate hostage if you ask me!
  They do not seem to exist in a different media player - just what I'm looking for crashes at halfway through (DivX, Real, Nokia, Apple, Windows Media).
  The company who make the codec throw fault purely at the feet of microsoft. (If this is the case, why pay for the download for the older Indeo 5?).
  Any who Microsoft have access to this codec internally and brave enough to post it for download?
  If not - does anyone know a media player (or converter) that contains it and is honest enough to install?

• I get the error message the codec installed not on movie maker when I try to add music to my project.

  Hi Thbrady,

  The .cda file format is not supported by windows media player. You may need to make use of a third party application for converting .cda to a format supported by the Director file.

• Windows media player11.error windows media player cannot play dittos theplayer might not support the file type or might not support the codec used to compress the file

  • y at - it software that could help me.which will work with my Media Player to convert almost any format or find the good codec.so I can watch my videos, I have downloaded on my documents.there need some software out there that would do this work.so my media player 11 play my videos.

  Hi Bbdunford,

  O what is the file format?

  O if it works well before?

  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.

  There might be times, however, when you want to read the content that is compressed with a codec that does not include Windows or the default player. In many cases, you can download the necessary codec on the web for free or for a fee. And, in some cases, the player can automatically use the codecs installed by other reading programs and the creation of digital media on your computer.

  You may encounter this error message for the following reasons:

  1. the file type is supported by the drive, but the file was compressed by using a codec that is not supported by the player.

  2 - the file might have been encoded with a codec that is not supported by Windows Media Player. If this is the case, Windows Media Player cannot play the file.

  You can try the steps and check if it makes a difference.

  1. in order 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. On the file tab, look at the sections of video codec and Audio codec.

  2 download and install Codecs by clicking on the PLAYER tab and check. To connect to the Internet and automatically download Codecs player

  3. configure the protocol settings

  On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the Network tab.

  In the Streaming protocols area, select all the check boxes Protocol.

  When connecting to a server running Windows Media Services, Windows Media Player tries to use all selected protocols.
