• Windows Media Player does not recognize the .3gp file format

  Original title: cannot read!

  Why my Windows media player can't play 3gp format some0ne?

  Hello

  You will need a codec to play the file video .3gp. A codec is a software to compress or decompress a digital media file, such as a song or a video. Windows Media Player and other programs use the codec to play and create digital media files.

  For more information, take a look at the link:

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

  I suggest you use your favorite search engine to download and install the codec for Windows Media player according to the type of file you are trying to read.

• How to burn on a DVD + R .avi file in windows media player or how to convert the file, so it can be burned

  I'm looking to burn .avi files that I found in the torrent files downloaded using utorrent on a DVD + R disc.  I noticed in several forums that most of the people seem to have problems in windows media player.  Someone mentioned a program in Windows Vista that could be used, but I'm still in the stone age with Windows XP.  I took some advice and downloaded a program called ConvertXToDVD, but I don't know what to convert .avi files to in order to burn properly and play on a standard DVD player.

  Any advice would be helpful.

• Media Player does not play the .m4a file

  I just want to know why my player will not play a file. The file says it's a media player .m4a... I tried to download a recent version of the player, but he said that I had a newer version of it and it wouldn't download. So if I have a new or updated version of the player, why used it play the file?

  Windows Media Player uses the codecs to understand file formats. A codec is software that includes a particular file format. You will need to install a codec.

  If you click Help on the Web in the dialog box it would have been explained to you.

  Also if you let Windows search for the appropriate program when dbl clicking the file it'll tell you what it is and what it can play.

  All of a sudden my pictures folders are now all show in Windows Media Player and I can't open each photo in full screen, but only in the video display mode.   When I go to my pictures and choose view as thumbnails, that's fine, but when I click on the individual photo, it shows on the screen no video not in mode full screen and I can't move the photo to the photo without closing the video screen.  How can I get my pictures on Windows Media Player?

• How to convert a my media player in vista can play multimedia files (video) windows mobile 6.

  I like to take the video with my Treo phone. It has Windows Mobile 6 Professional and the videos play in media player on the phone.  When I try to open the file to support windows on my computer he named with a label of ".3g2" I can't my media player in vista to recognize the files. Help!

  Hello
   
  Windows Media Player does not support playback of all types of media file available currently. However, Windows Media Player provides support for the most common media file types.
   
  The type of file you are trying to play on media player is not supported by the media player. If Windows Media Player does not support the file format you are using, contact the distributor of the file for more information on the availability of a viewer for the file.
   
  However, installation of codecs can help you read the file successfully, check for possible solutions in this article and check the result: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/316992
   
  There are a couple of free video converters available on the Web that you can use to convert the type of current file for the file type compatible multimedia player. Please note that Microsoft has not tested these programs and you use them at your own risk.
   
  I hope this helps.

• How to make audio files on my download site?

  Hello

  In my site there are links to audio files. Then click on the links in chrome or firefox, audio files begin playing immediately. In Opera the download files. Internet Explore opens the files in windows media player. How can I make sure that when they are clicked they upload, rather than play in the browser?

  The only answer that I can find, so far, zip files. I am reluctant to use this method because compress zip files and compression can do funny things to files.

  Can anyone suggest anything?

  Thank you

  Well, this used to require a side script server.

  Although I have not yet tried, the HTML 5 seems now supports an attribute of download:

  Try it and see if it works for you. I suggest to try as I'm not sure how it is currently supported in all popular browsers.
