• Windows Media won't play a DVD

  How com windows media won't play a dvd, even with a decoder, I added this morning?

  I'm having the same problem. My computer has Windows XP Professional Office. Media Player 11 is on it. But when I try to play a DVD, it says "Windows Media Player cannot play the DVD because no compatible DVD decoder is not installed on your computer" is not Media Player got it own decoder? I don't want to download some other decoder from another provider that I don't know. I got Windows Media Player on every computer I've ever owned and have never had problem reading DVD or something else. What is the problem and how to fix it? My computer has a DVD driver... and yet I can't watch DVDs... makes no sense...

  And yes the DVD play on other computers and DVD player to the TV. Not a scratch above. Nothing wrong with the DVD. ANY DVD will not play the computer, with the fact that I have a problem...

  And Yes, I am talking about Windows Media Player.

  =================================================

  A DVD decoder is not included with Windows XP...
  so, we need to be acquired and installed from a third
  the party source. If your system has one when it was new...
  It would have been included in your OEM software
  package... maybe you always for her installation disk.

  The site has a few suggestions:

  Info about DVD decoders: Plug-ins for Windows Media Player
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Windows-Media-Player-plug-ins

  
  FWIW... the free VLC Media Player can play DVDs
  and you shouldn't have any additional codecs.

  (FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)
  Restore point before installing software or updates)

• Windows Media won't play a .wav file

  got this error message "Windows Media Player cannot play the file because the required video codec is not installed on your computer."

  Hi cjln2,

  (a) what version of the Windows operating system do you use on the computer and which version of Windows Media Player do you use?

  (b) this only happens with this particular file or every file that you are trying to play?

  This problem occurs if a necessary codec to play the file is not installed on the computer.

  A codec is software that uses player to decompress a file before playing, for more information on codecs see the link below

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/codecs-frequently-asked-questions

  Step 1: If you are running Windows 7, run Troubleshooting of Windows Media Player settings

   

  Open the troubleshooting Windows Media Player settings Troubleshooter

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/open-the-Windows-Media-Player-settings-Troubleshooter

  Step 2: You will have to perhaps download and install the codec.

• How can the player WIndows Media 'save' the last place, seen in a video?

  I wish WMP to be able to remember the last place/place in a video, so if I close it accidentally (instead of minimize the window), I can't spend too much time trying to find the exact location. Is this possible?

  AFAIA he can't. Note the time when you close it.

  Try a search on Google for what you want. If you find something, re post because it is of course an annoying problem. !

• 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.

• 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.
