How to make windows media player to read rar files

How to make windows media player to read rar files

Windows Media Player cannot play RAR files.

RAR files are not video/audio files, they are compressed files. If there is video/audio files in the RAR file, you must first open and extract from RAR file.

You can use 7 - Zip to create/open/unpack RAR files and other compressed files.

    Can I have Windows Media Player to play music files in a particular folder without creating a playlist of this folder?

  • is there a simple guide on how to use Windows Media Player to play MP3 files on a Web site

    I'm designing a simple website to a friend. They are singers and want 3 or 4 songs sample of people to listen to on the site.

    What is the easiest way to do this (I m not technical, it should be easy to understand)

    Idea is that the user accesses the page and chooss a song they click and hear 30-45 seconds of a recorded sample (MP3 file)

    Strive to do that. I thought it would be easy but can't seem to find a simple way to do it.

    Can it be done using Windows media player (records are MP3 files in the Player Windows Media.

    Help appreciated

    If you have a music video, your friends sing you could install a flash drive on the Web site. If it is just an audio file, you must download the file to a file free host then post a link to the file on the Web site.  If Windows Media Player comes into play depends on what media player the person clicking the link used as their default media player. Windows Media Player will play no role in the file on your website. The link below contains a list of free audio files, hosting sites. There are many others that you can find with a simple search on Google.

  • How to stop windows media player from reading when I open it?

    I have windows vista. Why does windows media player start to play the first track in my list when it comes on? It didn't used to, but my system has been rebuilt, and now I can not find anywhere, no matter what help (is not always the case? Help files are never 'useful'). I didn't start playing a track just because I opened the windows media player!

    Media Player has no opportunity to do so.  Are you sure you're not clicking on a shortcut file that specifies to play?  If you are unsure if the shortcut file specifies a game action, here is how to test directly open it:

    (1) make sure that all programs are closed

    (2) press Windows + R to display the race

    (3) type wmplayer and press OK

    Media Player should open without playing anything.

  • How to make Windows Media Player and Real Player STOP my each image stored in MS Paint - loading Vista

    More specifically, when I open Windows Media Player or Real Player to view the photos uploaded from my cameras, players are full of 2,000

    images, I stored in MS Paint.  I need these images in MS Paint for reference material for my work.  They are all the print screen shots pasted in MS Paint.

    What I want, it's for Real Player and Windows Media Player to be used only to store the photos from my camera.  I don't want these other 2,000 images in there, because they make it very difficult to manage all 2,000 of them when looking to find photos of the camera that are much more limited.

    So, basically, I don't want media players store these images of MS Paint.  And I hope that I do not need to delete one by one or in boots.  And I don't want to accidentally remove it from my computer.  I just keep them in the painting.     Please tell us how to proceed, if possible.

    Media Player is not all image acquisition to import videos from cameras.

    But let me clarify: Media Player also does not maintain a library index more (this is bad for performance).  When you browse through your photo library by clicking on the links on the left side of the media player, it's just browsing through files as if you open the window of your file and you click on the image on the left side of the library.  The two are different programs, but they both go through the same places as a folder view, so there is no worry about the index of the media player clog, because it is not a plus.

    Example:

    Media Player does not index more, it uses just the file system.  If you right click and select properties of the picture library, this is where you control the locations it reflects in its scope.  It is not a folder (nothing can be stored "in"a library".  The circled "3 locations" is another way to access the same.

    WMP doesn't support all Formats. So, how do sipport like them. MKV OR .rmvb...

    You must install the codecs. There are several codec packs to achieve this (some people do not care much for the codec packs, others swear by them).

    In addition, if you're not dead set on WMP, there is an alternative player that can play many more formats: VLC: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/
  • Can Windows Media Player XP play MTS file type? I tried, but the video does not play smoothly. Is this fix really?

    I tried, but the video does not play smoothly.  Is this fix really?

    There is a possibility that Windows Media Player could
    read the file if you rename the MTS to MPG or AVI.

    And/or...the suite of freeware Media Player can be
    worth a try.

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

    Media Player Classic Home Cinema
    http://MajorGeeks.com/Media_Player_Classic_Home_Cinema_d6213.html
    (works on XP/Vista/7)
    (The name of the file to download is: "MPC - HomeCinema.1.5.2.3456.x 86 .exe ')

    If this fails, it may be worth trying to convert the MTS file
    WMV format:

    There are many converters available on the net... some
    free... some detail.

    The following freeware converters are a few examples:

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

    (1) Sothink Free Video Converter
    http://www.Sothinkmedia.com/video-converter/
    (Windows XP / Vista / 7)

    You will need to unzip the file... or you could just drag
    the Setup.exe from the file out of the folder and drop it on your
    desktop and install from there.

    Once installed... Open Sothink and go to... Add the files button...
    Find and select the clips you want to convert.

    Next... in the encoding settings... Choose... Video credits.
    WMV - Windows Media Video (*.wmv).

    Choose an output folder and on the left, click on the button convert.

    You can experiment with other settings later but
    This should help you get started.

    (2) format Factory (freeware)
    http://www.videohelp.com/tools/Format_Factory
    (the 'direct link' is faster)
    (the file you want to download is: > FFSetup270.zip<>
    (FWIW... installation..., you can uncheck
    ('all' boxes on the last screen)
    (Windows XP / Vista / 7)

    First, you will need to decompress the file or just open the
    Drag FFSetup270.exe out of the folder
    and drop it on your desktop. To install left click.

    Next, after the download and installation of Format
    Factory... you can open the program and
    left click on the toolbar, the "Option" button and
    "Select an output folder to" / apply / OK.
    (this is where you find your files after they)
    are converted)

    Drag and drop your video clips on the main screen...

    Select "all to WMV" / OK...

    Click on... Beginning... in the toolbar...

    That should do it...

    Good luck...
