Digital copy does not not in Windows Media Player

I downloaded a digital copy of a DVD, and when I try to open it in the video file it says: Windows Media Player cannot play the protected file. The player has detected that the connection to your hardware isn't sure. I have improved the security of Windows Media Player until I transferred the film to the computer. Not sure why she does not open.

  • Protocol RTSP does not recognize Windows Media Player 12

    I am trying to broadcast a live stream via RTSP and get the error: "Windows Media Player cannot play the file because the specified protocol is not supported. If you typed a URL in the open URL dialog box, try using a different transport protocol (for example, "http:" or "rtsp:"). »

    I read http://support.microsoft.com/kb/940029/en-us and tried the suggested resolutions, and they did not work.

    I removed WMP by "turn Windows features On and Off" and then manually deleted WMP of Program Files, and files in the directory of the user. Yes, I restart after turning off the WMP.

    The URL is valid, I can get through VLC stream very well.

    I have disabled the firewall to try to verify that it is not blocking ports (you would think that it would not block ports since I can get the flow through VLC, but I tried just in case where).
    I also reduced my security settings of IE for the smallest settings to see if it was a question of settings. Still have the error.

    I do not have McAffee (others have suggested that this could cause some problems with streaming).

    I'm running Windows 7 x 64 professional. Other computers using Windows 7 x 64 Pro can get the Windows Media Player 12 RTSP stream (I checked that they have the same version of WMP that I do).

    I compared the registry settings between computers that work and mine for Windows Media Player without success.

    I tried to connect to the different RTSP stream and I get the same error, as shown above.

    I could really use help I am running out of ideas.

    I thought I could use my psp to use digital copies, I've had with the movies that I bought. is there a way to make it work or is it just not possible?

    1 USB cable to hook between the PSP and the PC.

    2. on the PSP under settings, select USB connection.

    3. your Vista PC should recognize that the PSP is connected. The PSP should be displayed "USB Mode".

    4. on the PC to add music on the removable drive that represents your memory stick PSP. Put the music in the music folder.

    You can also go through the following steps:

    Step 1: Connect the portable music player to the computer via the USB port. MP3 players and other devices notebooks, all updates have this ability, which is scheduled to manage multimedia files easily.

    Step 2: Open Windows Vista and then click 'Sync '. If this is your initial test using the device, your system can choose to sync files automatically or manually depending on the capability of your music device.

  • Downloaded the album doesn't play no not on Windows Media Player

    I recently bought a movie that included the soundtrack download. I downloaded the soundtrack the same day that I ripped several other CD on my computer. I encountered a problem where for some reason, everything was put in my document rather than windows media player, which never happened to me before, so I transferred both downloaded album all CDs ripped on a playlist on windows media player. When I was unable to get transferred to my library, I gave up for the day and thought a few days to think about that I could understand it. I came home last night and all the albums themselves had moved into my library, with the exception of the downloaded album, and when I clicked it, a message comes up saying windows media could not find the file and that if I tried to burn, rip, or sync and the album that represents the position in my library, can point to an album that has been moved renamed, or deleted. I went to move my documents once again, but he was no longer there and the only place where I can find it is in the playlist, where it does not. I tried redownloading it, but it's a download time. I ran the windows media control and he says he has a corrupted file but don't tell me what to do to this topic or even what the corrupted file was for sure, but I guess it was the downloaded item. If anyone has ideas of how to do to solve this problem it would be greatly appreciated

    Unfortunately, it was a Web site that has been created strictly for downloads, and when I click on the download that put it directly in the folder my documents, where I had to then transfer to my playlist, so I think he just didn't upload properly

  • Media Player will not work "Windows Media Player cannot play the file because the required video codec is not installed on your computer."

    I currently have Windows 8.  However, when I try to play a seminar online on the internet, I get the following message is displayed:

    Windows Media Player can not play the file because the required video codec is not installed on your computer.

    Can someone point me in the right direction to solve this problem?

    Please and thank you!

    Hello

    Welcome to the Microsoft Community forums.

    I understand that you are not able to play a Webinar on the windows computer using Windows Media Player 8.

    I would be grateful if you can provide us with the following information to help us better understand the issue.

    1 you get an error code or the name of the codec to install?

    2. are you able to play other files with Windows media player?

    3. What are the file format of the multimedia files that you are not able to play using Windows media player?

    4. are you referring to the video file saved using Webinar?

    This problem is caused if the file format is not supported by windows media player.

    Codec compresses or decompresses media files. Windows media player uses codecs to play and create media files.

    See the link below for the types of files supported by windows media player.

    https://support.Microsoft.com/kb/316992?WA=wsignin1.0

    You can also refer to a link to find out what codecs are installed on your computer.

    Additional information:

  • DVD video disc play is not in Windows Media Player, possible decoder problem

    A DVD was made product with a video camera of the dance show to my child. However, the dvd on my hp Pavilion 772n burner will not play it. The operating system is XP and when I try to play the DVD in Windows Media Player, I get a message "...". compatible DVD decoder is not installed on your computer. Interestingly, the DVD disc plays in a DVD VCR connected on television.

    What should I do to play the dvd on the pc?

    On XP you must install software that can play DVDs. Both Vista and Windows 7 that include by default.
