I can't read the avi file

I can't play avi files.

Error message from WMP: Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The player might not support the file type or does not support the codec used to compress the file.
KM Player error message: number combination of filters could be found to make the stream (error Num:80040218).
The DIVX Player error message: the file contains a track in an unknown format (code"" ") format. You may need to install a decoder directShow for video format in order to read this file.
I tried all the codecs, directshow, directx, service packs, updates, as many players but still nothing.
Microsoft article isn't good, because apparently you can't reinstall WMP on Vista.  All this happened after I made the recovery of the Dell system.

It may be interesting to try to rename the file .avi
to .mpg... believe it or not... sometimes it works.

If this is a XviD file... you may need
the XviD codec.

This can be checked by using the free software GSpot:

Download GSpot
http://www.free-codecs.com/download/GSpot.htm
(left-click the text: "Download GSpot")
(on the next screen...
left click: 'Download [GSpot 2.70]')

You don't have to install it... just unzip the file and
GSpot.exe left click to launch.

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

XviD Codec

XviD FAQ
http://www.xvidmovies.com/FAQ/

Also... it may be worth trying to convert the files to
another format like. WMV or MPG.

There are many programs that can do conversions...
The following freeware is an example...:

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

Format Factory
http://www.videohelp.com/tools/Format_Factory
(the 'direct link' is faster)
(the file you want to download is: > FFSetup260.zip<>
(FWIW... installation..., you can uncheck
('all' boxes on the last screen)

First, you will need to decompress the file or just open the
Drag FFSetup260.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...

    I bought a new carmera and Photoshop CS4 camera Raw can not read the ARW files.  I downloaded the lateset update but still can not read how can I get this problem solved thanks

    Hi tonyf,.

    Greetings!

    Each device is compatible with a minimum version of camera raw.

    Here is the complete list: https://helpx.adobe.com/camera-raw/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html

    Please check if you have this version of the camera installed which include your raw files.

    It would also be that your photoshop will not have to install this version of camera raw as its very old.

    In this case, you can convert your raw files to DNG and can use it.

    To convert the files to DNG, you must download and install the DNG Converter.

    Here is the link:

    Windows: Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter: for Windows

    MAC: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?platform=Macintosh&product=106

  • I can't read the raw files from Nikon D600 with CS5

    I can't read the raw files from Nikon D600 with CS5, I tried the Camera Raw 6.1 update, but that did not work.

    Nikon D 600 will work with ACR 7.3 who needs at least 6 CS PS: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html

    With PS CS 5, ACR 7.3 will not work.

    So either you go to 6 CS or DNG converter allows you to convert images to DNG format that you can open in CS 5

  • Can not read the text file: 7 error file not found

    Hello

    I read a (header.txt) text file that is placed in the same directory as the vi. I use winXP & Labview 8.6. The VI reported an error:

    Error 7 open/create/replace the file in OpenTextFile.vi.

    However, I copied the path of the file at the end of the error message and pasted into the address bar of IE, and I found that IE can open the file.

    Why does this work?

    Thank you

    Never mind. I solved it. I fed the wrong file name in the diagram.

  • Unable to read the .avi files with Windows Media Player 11 on XP

    Original title: Media player upgrade was worse than basic
    I recently updated my Player multimedia media Player 11 and now it won't play movies from AVI file that I used to be able to play easily on the outdated version. Why is this?

    Hello

    Do you have an error message when you try to play with Media Player AVI files?

    When you try to play a file that uses a codec that is not installed on your computer, Windows Media Player attempts to download the codec from a Microsoft server. If the
    Codec is available, the Windows Media Player installed on your computer, and then bed file. However, if the codec is not available on the server (for example, because)
    the codec not created by Microsoft), Windows Media Player displays a message that your computer is missing a codec.

    In some cases, the file you want to play uses a codec that is not available or compatible with Windows Media Player. When this happens, you may be unable to use Windows Media Player to play this particular .avi file.

  • Can not read the word file copied as a shortcut on a disc

    Format microsoft word copied as a shocut on a disk is not able to be read. An error message appears that the network connection or the driver that the shortcut refers to is unavailable.

    Please excuse my rudeness and gaiety that, but everything that you copied is the shortcut, not the file. If you attach the drive to your PC, it will find the file because the shortcut will direct you to the source file, but if you try to play the file on another PC the source isn't there.

    If you do not know where the file is stored pass on the original PC, right click the shortcut and go to properties and it displays the path of the target, because it is a Word file, the entire file is probably in the Documents. In the same box, you should be able to target location or find to open the file. When you locate the file copy on the external drive.

  • I can't open the html files created outside the Muse to Muse?

    Basically, it would be useful if I can open existing sites with Muse - say if I wanted to update here and there. Anyone know if this is possible? Or if not, that he might be in the future?

    Hi Palmerowen,

    It is not possible to edit html files in Muse right now. Muse can only read the .muse file. However, if you have some knowledge of the code, you can change these files in dreamweaver.

    Kind regards
