• AVI video files play sound but no video in Windows Media Player 7

  My video files avi play sound but no video in Windows Media Player 7. Video files avi are since 2002 and has played very well until I'm a new PC with Windows 7 so I know that the files are not corrupt. All my other files and videos play fine in Media Player. I checked online and seen the posts in other forums on the codecs being the problem. Does anyone know how to fix this? Based on the other forums I found it seems that it is not uncommon that a problem with Win7.

  Also, is it possible to convert audio and video files in different formats with Media Player? Or do I need any other software to do this?

  It is not that there is a problem in Windows 7, it is more likely that you don't have just the installed CODEC the video file is saved with.  You will need to find a source, download and install any CODEC no MS yourself. You can use GSpot to identify CODECs used in AVI files. An alternative to downloading of many individual CODECs is to install FFDSHOW instead. Some media players like VLC and Media Player Classic also have internal CODECS and support for a wide variety of video and audio file types.

• PC with Vista recently 'impossible to play your test' (error 4E63:0F1B)

  original title: PC with Vista recently 'impossible to play your test' (added the error code to the title)

  Dell Dimension E520 running Vista Home Basic

  Boot Up Dell's ran the diagnostic test and speakers play, but doesn't have a subwoofer and journalist error 4E63:0F1B

  No noise at all; Speakers uncut; Harward audits indicate devices work ok. Have re-installed drivers.

  Audio FIXIT Windows didn't identify potential problems.

  Think the problem occurred after the update of safety of MS on May 14, 2012, but did not know who had no sound for a while and cannot boot from a previous as no longer an option.

  Speakers Altec Lancing of twins plug multimedia subwoofer which in turn connects to the PC & play ok sperate MP3 Player

  Problem solved. I had "Automatic updates" turned on. I uninstalled all the updates, as far as may 14, 2012, when I first encountered the problem and hey presto its has started playing! Most of the updates have been 'updated security Windows xxxx KBnnn"

  Now I turned off automatic updates that my system is stable and functional.

• Sound with no video in Windows Media Player or any other software I've tried.

  I have no video when I play all the files on my computer no matter what program I use. I updated my driver for video card, re-installed the software. Verified that both we are up-to-date. The files are files simple .wmv and .mpg. They have worked in the past but now when I pull it up its just audio. The box of the video Viewer will be resized according to the picture, but there is no picture. I am a computer technician, and which left me speechless. Can someone help me or point me in the right direction please!

  Looks like you have corrupted codecs on your computer. You may need to reinstall or re-register the codecs so Windows to recognize them again. Here is a longer version of this explanation on what to do if you have the sound but no video in Windows Media Player.

• Multiple monitors in the problem. External monitor display full desktop but no video in windows media player.

  I plugged a LCD TV to my laptop using a VGA cable. LCD TV display the full desktop.

  When I play a video in Windows Media Player video area is not displayed on the LCD screen, the rest all is shown.

  When I ran the player VLC video did not show, but when I changed the video option "overlay video output" i.e disabled this option, the video was shown on the LCD.

  But there is no option in WMP. How in WMP?

  What is the problem?

  Maryse Agarwal

  not a driver problem

  found the solution, I used both the computer laptop lcd and the external monitor

  When I went just outside, he played

  This is because the graphics card offers support for playback of the video when you play the video on the internal monitor

• rotate video in WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER?

  is it possible to rotate the image of the video when he turned sideways in WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER?  I know how to do this with still images, but I don't see where I can turn my videos.  ??

  Windows Media Player cannot rotate a video.

  FWIW... for only... the freeware VLC Media Player visualization peut
  rotate the display screen.

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

  VLC Media Player
  http://www.filehippo.com/download_vlc/
  (works on XP/Vista/7)

  After installing VLC open an it... then video and pause go to...
  Tools / effects and filters / video effects tab / geometry tab.
  Select the check box turn / slide the circle / close / play.

  If you want to rotate the video permanently, you will have to
  Use a program such as Vista Movie Maker 6 or Windows Live
  Movie Maker. (and I hope that your video will be compatible
  with these applications)

  If you use Vista Movie Maker 6...
  There is an effect that can turn the video.

• Why will not post any kind of video format Windows Movie Maker?

  I have a video project together over but when I click 'save to computer' and go through it, he starts to publish but stick to 1% or 2%. I tried just to publish a still image (JPEG) that works. I added a voice on the video image, published again very well. Then added an mp3 which is used throughout the project, which publishes perfectly too. Add a video file, however, freezes it. I tried to break the project down into third to check that it is not "too complex" that didn't work and now even in the sixth that don't work as.
  I tried using videos MP4, AVI and WMV, but nothing to do with a video clip will release.

  I am running vista and movie maker 2.6.
  (And ive also tried to put the project on a Win7 computer and who publishes but the same file wont open (all files component also transferred to 2nd pc))

  I am incredibly frustrated with this now so please, any help would be appreciated!

  I was wondering why you are running Movie Maker 2.6?
  Do you have Vista Movie Maker 6 enforcement issues?

  What is the duration of the project? Long and complex projects
  can be problematic. More short projects (as you have already discovered)
  are generally more successful.

  MP3 files can be problematic... conversion. WMA peut
  be worth a try.

  The. WMV video format is the best choice, and you already
  tried that... but the question is how to convert you?

  Also... it may be useful if you open Movie Maker and go to... Tools /.
  Options / Compatibility tab and disable all filters / OK.
  Or... to... Tools / Options / tab compatibility and left click
  button to restore all default settings.

  There are to many converters available on the net...

• Rotate video with Windows media player

  Original title: windows media player

  Hi guys, my media player videos play inverted (upside down). How to reverse the image of player?

  Thanks, JDS

  Hi jamiestewart,

  1 is he doing with all the videos that you play using Windows media player?

  2. What is the format of the video file?

  There is no way to shoot a video with Windows media player.

  You will need to use Windows movie maker to turn the video and save it, then later play using Windows media player.

  (a) open Windows movie maker, click fileand then click import media items.

  (b) locate the file you want to import and then click import.

  (c) click the Clip, and then click Add to the timeline or Add to the storyboard table.

  (d) click Tools, and then click effects.

  (e) in the content pane, click the effect you want to add. You can click read under the monitor to see a preview of what the effect looks like.
