• What Version of Windows Media Player I have, and anyone who has used AVS4YOU?

  First of all, I would like to know what version of Windows Media Player I have on my 32 bit Vista computer.

  Second, I bought AVSAudioConverter and asked if I wanted to install Windows 11 runtime files. Should I install these runtime files, or just try it without having to install these files?

  ========================================
  Since you're running Vista... I suspect that you run Windows
  Media Player 11 but as t-4-2 says... go to help / about to check.

  There is some info on the executable files on the following link:

  Windows Media Format Runtime 11
  http://www.Softpedia.com/get/multimedia/video/codec-packs-video-codecs/Windows-Media-Format-Runtime-11.shtml

  More that likely... you didn't * need * files, but personally, I wouldn't
  have no problem to install them on my system.

  FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system

  Maybe you need a DVD decoder:

  Or... you'll love the free VLC Media Player:

• Windows Media Center won't play video, but Windows Media Player will be?

  I'm reading a video .avi with the xvid codec. I installed the codec earlier and it plays fine in Windows Media Player, but when I try to play in Windows Media Center, it indicates that one or more codecs are required to play this file, but they cannot be found. I know I would just watch with Windows Media Player instead of Media Center, but I want to watch it on my Media Center extension (my Xbox). I'm running Windows Vista Ultimate, 64-bit. Why does Windows Media Player with this codec and Windows Media Center not work? How can I solve this problem?

  -Slick05_1

  Hi Slick05_1,

  Thanks for the replies on the forum.

  Given that the Microsoft Vista Media Center and XBOX do not play the files suggest it would need to be a codec which solves the problem or maybe file conversion which would solve the problems you are experiencing.  Since the codecs for files is not something written by Microsoft, we do not have the information for that in our system.

  What I suggest is to go to your search engine preferred and in the search line and typing "is possible to play VLC on XBOX.

  WARNING:

  Using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

  What I suggest also done an online search using your favorite search engine for "play MKV files in Vista x 64 Media Center" to find whether there may be suggestions about codecs or these codecs created by other organizations then Microsoft.

  Please let us know if you are able to get this to work for you.

  Best regards

• DVD won't play in the computer, will play in the dvd player

  Hello. I have burned several dvds of our showcase of dance for participants using first elements 14. Because of the length, I did an image ISO bootable first, then he burned from that. Some tell me that they cannot play on their computers (Lenovo laptop/Windows), but it plays well in their dvd player. I use an iMac 27-inch with El Capitan and can not play on my computer either. Does anyone have insight into this? Thanks for your help.

  Ask them to see if it will play in VLC:

• Windows media player; I have a mpeg file played ok before the download Flash Player to move to another place; but now the audio wont play even if the video is very good

  I have a mpeg file played ok before the download Flash Player to move to another place; but now the audio wont play even if the video plays very well.  The mpeg file may was converted from another format mpeg before do me.

  Hello

  1. are you able to play the other mpegs successfully?
  2. what version of Windows Media Player do you use?

  I suspect that the file is corrupted.

  Method 1.
  Check if you can play the same video in a different media player.

  Method 2.
  You may need to check if the codecs work very well to play the file. Check if you have installed third party codecs. Uninstall them and re - install and then check.

  I hope this helps.

• Windows Live Movie Maker plays a fuzzy imported .wmv file, which plays totally fine on Media Player

  Hello

  
  I have Windows 7 and I'm trying to 'sting' 3 whole .wmv files in a movie. (You know, a very basic edition!) One of the files (once registered online or webinar) .wmv appears blurry on Live Movie Maker, but totally fine, clear plays in the drive Media.  Why?  Here are the properties of the file.

  
  Can someone help me solve this?  Thank you!

  Another possibility is that Movie Maker is just having trouble viewing clip Webinar.  Webinar clips using a different compression standard since they do not have a lot of changing information.  In addition, your screenshot, it is clear that the clip is in 16:9 or 4:3 aspect ratio, then maybe when Movie Maker it resizes to the preview, it causes content to blurs.  This is highly visible when you have the text slides where there are many small details.

  As noted by J of volunteer work, you can try to convert and combine clips using Freemake Video Converter.  That could help.  In addition, you never said if you saw this blur in the preview, in the final movie, or both.  If the problem is in the preview, you could ignore it, especially if the video arrived at the final is very good.
