• Problem when trying to watch a webinar recorded with Windows Media Player

  I get an error saying that Windows Media Player cannot play the file. A network firewall might prevent the player to open the file by using the UDP transport protocol. If you typed a URL in the open URL dialog box, try using a different transport protocol (for example, "http:").  I'm watching a recorded webinar and may not have to work, can anyone help?

  Hi Flinnwin,

  Welcome to the Microsoft community. According to the description of the problem, you can't watch a webinar recorded with Windows Media Player. Provide the following information:

  ·         Did you do changes on the computer before the show?

  ·         You get the error message?

  ·         What is the file format?

  I'll help you with this problem. I suggest you to run the Windows media player settings Troubleshooter.

  I hope this helps. Let us know if you need help with Windows.

  I am trying to sync my ipod with my windows media player and when I connect my ipod windows media play is not read. How can I sync my ipod with windows media player?

  Hello

  Your MP3 player should have 2 settings - MSC that should allow the player to be used as a
  external drive and PSG that is the parameter to use to sync with WMP11. Remove the MP3
  and restart the computer. Change the MP3 in MTP mode - it power off and plug it in.

  I hope this helps.

• When I want to burn a CD in Windows Media Player, it shows "Windows Media Player has encountered a problem when burning the file to disk". What's wrong? How to fix?

  When I want to burn a CD in Windows Media Player, it shows "Windows Media Player has encountered a problem when burning the file to disk".    What's wrong? How to fix?

  I tried several times to remove the selection to burn and create a new a new but it keep "Windows Media Player has encountered a problem when burning the file to delivery" appears what should I do?   What problem is it?

  Hello

  1. what file format you are trying to burn?

  2. have you made changes on the computer recently?

  3. What is the security software installed on the computer?

  If it's something you downloaded, it may be copy protected by DRM, in which case you may not burn it to a CD or DVD.

  Here are a few things to try:

  1. make sure that the disc is clean.

  2. try a different brand of blank discs.

  3. stop all other programs that are running.

  4. make sure that the hard drive does not use disk compression.

  I suggest that you follow these steps and check if they help to solve the problem.

  Method 1:

  Try to use the Troubleshoot utility to see if that solves the problem.

  a. open the troubleshooting Windows Media Player settings Troubleshooter by clicking the Start button, then Control Panel.

  (b) in the search box, type "convenience store" and then click Troubleshooting.

  c. click on show all and then click the Windows Media Player settings.

  Method 2:

  Select a recording speed (write) more slow for the CD burner.

  Method 3:

  If you have any third-party burning software, I suggest you temporarily Uninstall it and then try to burn the disc using Windows Media Player.

  Note: Reinstall the software after the trial.

  Method 4:

  Temporarily disable all programs that could activate themselves, while burning is in progress, such as screensavers or anti-virus programs.

  Note: Run the computer without antivirus software or firewall is a potential threat to the computer; Be sure to activate security software after completing the troubleshooting steps and after identifying the problem.
