  Hi Bruce.

  Right-click on the file and choosing 'Open with' does not define the default program. Instead, right click and choose Properties. When the Properties window opens, click on the button 'change '. From there, choose the desired program. Make sure that there is a check mark in the box "always use the select program to open files of this type." See the image at the link below.

• I wonder if anyone is familiar with this type of problem with the help of a Windows Media Player for DVD videos.

  Hello!
  I came across a problem with my dvd on my laptop drive. The program that I use on my laptop is Media player from Windows. And the laptop will recognize the DVD and everything, but when it starts to play, it gives me this message from Windows Media Player: "Windows Media Player cannot play video DVDs. You may need to adjust your Windows display settings. Open display settings in Control Panel, and then try to lower your screen resolution and color quality settings. »

  Now I always use the old Windows XP for my laptop, but I can't seem to understand how to adjust the color quality and lower my screen resolution. Does anyone have a little step by step process that I could follow to do this?

  The problem is that Windows XP does not play DVD movies in native mode. You can
  have a DVD player, but it can only read DATA DVD at this time. In the order
  install a DVD codec to read video DVD discs. First we will

• Media Player cannot play, need to video codec not installed. What codec? Where do I get it? How to install it?

  Media Player cannot play, need to video codec not installed.  What codec?  Where do I get it? How to install it?

  Hello
   
   
  
  The video codec that is required to decode and display the video can not be installed on your computer.
  
  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.
   
  
  Method 1.
  How to determine what codec is installed and how to install it automatically?
  a. 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.
  b. on the file tab, look at the sections of video codec and Audio codec.
  Download and install the Codecs by going to the PLAYER tab and check.
  c. connect you to the Internet and Download Codecs automatically.
  For more information about codecs, see the articles below:
  Codecs: Frequently asked questions
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/codecs-frequently-asked-questions
  
  Method 2.
  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.

• I can't play DVDs in Windows Media Player 12 on Windows 7 Pro and get this error msg: Windows Media Player cannot play this DVD because there is a problem with the digital copy between your DVD drive decoder and video card protection.

  Hello, thanks for reading and helping me.

  I try to play a legitimate, belonging to DVD, but Windows Media Player 12 will not play on my computer Windows 7 Professional.  The DVD worked a few days ago, but all of a sudden, I get the following error message:

  "Windows Media Player cannot play this DVD because there is a problem with the digital copy between your DVD player and the video card protection decoder. Try to install a driver available for your video card.

  I did a lot of research of these forums and on the ' net.  Here are the suggested steps I tried without success:

  • I tried VLC player.  This works.  However, rather than use this workaround, I wish to find a solution to my problem WMP/WMC.
  • I tried several DVD for years over the last decade.  These DVD works on my laptop, also running Windows 7 Professional and the shark 007 codec.
  • I uninstalled my Shark 007 codec
  • I tried other codecs (K-Lite)
  • I assured that the latest drivers are installed on my video card, XFX ATI Radeon 5850
  • I tried to uninstall Nero 9
  • I tried to use the Windows 7 troubleshooting options:
  • > Reading and burning CD, DVD and Blu - ray (no problem)
  • > Windows Media Player DVD (no problem)
  • > Windows Media Player Settings (detects a problem, wants to restore factory settings, every time, no matter what happens)
  • A system restore to a time when the DVD was working did not resolve the issue
  • The different links in Microsoft, I found in this forum about this problem do not seem to be useful.  There is a link that points to the set-top boxes, but this page just says: "Windows 7 comes with a decoder.
  • I assured the latest driver is available by going to "Device Manager", right click on the drive, then click on "update driver software".
  • I assured that the latest firmware is installed directly from the manufacturer's website.
  • I tried to reset my DRM by renaming the DRM under C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows folder and by going to this Web site to upgrade:http://drmlicense.one.microsoft.com/Indivsite/en/indivit.asp?force=1
  • I've uninstalled and reinstalled Windows Media Player 12 and Windows Media Center via the function "functionality in Windows.

  I would be very grateful if a Microsoft technology could chime.  Thanks for your help!

• Windows Media Player cannot play the videos

  Since the last 2 months I find that my Windows Media Player cannot play the videos. After having tried many, I installed the third-party Codec such as GOM Player, GOM DECODER and GOM converter on an experimental basis. For all its operation I installed that for the second time (test period = 1 month). Now, I found some unusual - the entire screen with prop-up Windows began to appear "foggy, unusually large screen, Visuality fuzzy." So GOM was 'uninstalled' in the menu 'program & feature. When he learned from the Microsoft Forum I installed k - lite Codec system. Now, some of my videos recorded under 'Image' menu works fine. But the videos stored in the "library" of WMP is not reacting. I need your advice. Again, in a prop-up window of K-Lite has asked to opt feither for: (i) (ii) repairs, (Iii) remove or change. I opted for changing file Windows Vista Codec - was the selection was appropriate? Should I opt for Vista Codec file repair?

  Can someone help me how to solve this problem. Thank you

  May be that the video file format is not compatible with Windows Media Player.

  Options: -.

  1] download and install VLC Player. It's free and supports file formats more than WMP.

  2] download and install the codecs

  Personally, I prefer VLC Player-if you have that then not need to download and install the codec of any third party.
