How to play MP4 files?

I'm unable to open MP4 files or find a program to download on my RT Surface that will allow me to play.

You can not. I tried it myself. You can look around for apps Store which "could" be it, but I have not found the two.

When you try to play .mp4 files in WMP, I hear the sound but the picture is distorted and I can't see the photo in Windows Media Player.

* Original title: Windows Media PLayer

I have Windows Media Player version 12 installed but when you try to play .mp4 files in WMP, I hear the sound but the picture is distorted and I can't see the picture. Please see image attached.

Even if I see that I can change the version of the file in a different format, I have the same problem with videos on websites that I can not of course change the format before playing these.

I managed to fix the problem for about 20 minutes by flattening my computer re - install the operating system and this resolved until all updates have been through, and then it disappeared again. I tried many codecs packs and this still does not help.

My system is running Windows 7 and Media Player version is 12.0.7601.18840, which tells me that Media Player is the most recent version.

Please can someone help?

Open uninstall a program in windows and in the left click on the feature to turn on or off windows. Clear the check box of the window Media Player, and then click ok. This will uninstall the drive, and then restart.

After restarting the same steps, now, check the box for the same and perform a restart and if all goes well it should solve the problem.

Note: Make sure that Windows is up-to-date.

How to delete MP4 files

Camera model: HDR-CX670

I need to make room in memory. It seems that the only way to remove the videos from the camera is using the device itself and not using a program on PC as PlayMemories.

The problem is that my camera contains a folder named MP_ROOT with about 18 GB of MP4 files (I don't know where they come from; it looks like they are created whenever I have something, in addition to the movie AVCHD files). This folder is not displayed on the device, and I am therefore unable to remove it.

I could use my PC to delete the folder or the files it contains, but I do not know if I break something by doing this. Because I like to keep a few videos on the camera, memory formatting isn't an option.

How can I safely get rid of these files?

Hi Berndbausch,

You can safely remove the MP4 files in the MP_ROOT folder.

Your camcorder is set to dual record mode that is why it creates MP4 files while he was recording AVCHD movies.

To turn off video Dual Rec mode, you can go to:

[Menu]-> [Image quality / Size]-> [Dual REC video]-> [DISABLED].

For additional assistance, contact the offices of the nearest offices/Sony Sony representation of your place of residence in the Asia-Pacific region at http://www.sony-asia.com/locale-selector?hpid=countryselector:AsiaPacific. Due to the proximity, they are in a better position to respond to your questions or concerns.

Windows Media Program will not play MP4 files

I was always able to play MP4 on my HP laptop. Now, I get a message that Windows Media Player has encountered a problem. I went on the site and followed the instructions. Always impossible to get Microsoft Media Player to read my files. I have created dozens over the last two years. I ran all the updates...

It seems that the mp4 codec to play these videos has become corrupted or deleted. AVIcodec allows you to see if you have the right codec installed for this video http://www.myvideoproblems.com/Tutorials/avicodec.html this will tell you what codec you need, and then install or reinstall google if it comes from a cd that came with your camera or something similar.

How to play .asx files in Windows Media Player

original title; Can I play a video file of .asx with WMP? or if not, how to play with this extension .asx files?

Can I play a video file of .asx with WMP? or if not, how to play with this extension .asx files?

When I try to play the file, WMP shows error then update says "video codec".

How then can I get this update for the video codec?

Thank you, Michael Phelps 907

Hi Mike,.

an .asx file is not a media file. It is a file that contains a pointer to a content online. So if you are unable to read a .asx file and are able to play other files using Windows Media Player so the best thing is to open the .asx, a Notepad file. When you open the .asx using Notepad, you will see a link that starts by http: and so on. Please copy this link and go to Windows Media Player. On the Windows Media Player window, press the Alt key on the keyboard and click file and Open url. Paste the link and check if Windows Media Player is able to open the link. If she opens the link this is a problem with the formatting of the .asx file and if it does not open the link then it is a problem with the server online of the .asx file. It could be that it is deleted from the server.

Hope this information helps. Keep us informed on the status of the issue.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks in advance for your suggestions :>

Yes I can play mp4 with Windows Media Player files

I use the 12.0.7601.18150 version. It is the version that is part of Windows 7 SP1 for x 64.

What do you use seems to be part of Windows XP.

Windows XP does not natively support mp4 files.

How to play audio files, one after the other?

Please help me! Thanks in advance!

What you will do, is add the PlayerListener and / if you have in your loop code would go in the treatment of the END_OF_MEDIA event. Once that noise has stopped you will start the next sound and add the listener of player.

//Declarations
PlayerListener pListen;
String mp3 = "";

..........
..........

pListen = new PlayerListener(){
   public void playerUpdate(Player player, String event, Object eventData) {
      if (event.equals(PlayerListener.END_OF_MEDIA)) {
         if( mp3.equals(test1) ) mp3 = test;
         else if( mp3.equals(test2) ) mp3 = test3;
         else if( mp3.equals(test3) ) mp3 = test4;
         .........

         InputStream stream = (InputStream)this.getClass().getResourceAsStream("/" + mp3);
         p = Manager.createPlayer(stream, "audio/mpeg");
         p.realize();
         p.prefetch();
         p.addPlayerListener(pListen);
         p.start();
      }
   }
}

InputStream stream = (InputStream)this.getClass().getResourceAsStream("/" + mp3);
p = Manager.createPlayer(stream, "audio/mpeg");
p.realize();
p.prefetch();
p.addPlayerListener(pListen);
p.start();

So, add the try-catch blocks.
