In my Windows xp, neither WMP nor IE 8 can read mts files

In my Windows xp home edition, Windws Media Player or Internet Explorer 8 can read the mts (HD file with extension mts) files. How can I solve the problem?

Thanks in advance

Jangaly

There is a small chance that you could play the file if you
Rename .mts in .mpg.

Also... the freeware VLC Media player may be worth a try:

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

  • Only the administrator can read mp3 files. All users get "Windows cannot open this file".

    I am running XP SP3... After that my children were on the internet all day, they have lost the ability to play mp3 files. When I went to ' Control Panel/folders/files Types... under MP3 - we say "Sound in MP3 format" with no program to open this type of file. "

    However, when I signed up as a Director and went to 'File Types' he registered "Windows Media Player" as the program to open the file.

    So I can play the MP3 files under administrator, but no one else can play an MP3 file.

    Any suggestions?

  • I deleted some software by accident - now I can't read my files of windows (like word). Should what software I download?

    All of my windows files now are not recognized - as I do not have good software?

    Hi Joseph,

    This problem normally occurs when the Media player could not play the file downloaded or not supported.

    Method 1:

    Step 1: Here is the list of the formats supported by Windows Media player file:

    Information on the types of media files that supports Windows Media Player:

  • The MTS files & Windows DVD creation (Windows 7 x 64)

    Question: Windows DVD Maker does not recognize the MTS format.
    Camera: Panasonic DMC - TZ7
    File format: MTS (AVCHD Lite HD)
    OS: Windows 7 x 64

    There are a few comments on the similar topic. I would like to know if there is some way I can get the creation of DVD to read MTS files without converting it to other formats.

    If I convert it, is it a tool of MS that I can use without buying a third-party tool 3. MTS format has been around for a while and I'm surprised that the creation of DVD in Windows 7 does not support.
    Vimal.

    Hello

    You must first convert AVCHD (.mts) .avi files or any other file format and then burn using Windows DVD creation. Create DVD does not recognize the format .mts and
    There are no Microsoft tool to convert the file formats.

    I suggest you to search using your favorite search engine. You will find many free online conversion tools.

    Hello

    The real question is how the 90 minute discs work well.

    If your Player supports, then WMP should also play (assuming that the information are written
    in the standard formats).

    Where can I find the new 90 minute CD - R discs? Why were they previously unavailable?

  • Windows 8 with WMP 12: problem upgrading security components

    I am using the OverDrive Media Console software to download and transfer of library books protected by DRM. OverDrive has reported that WMP needs an upgrade of the security component. However, when I tried to upgrade via the Tools menu of the OverDrive, nothing happened.

    Then, I tried to update directly from the web site: http://drmlicense.one.microsoft.com/indivsite but a useless message that WMP "has encountered a problem while playing the file."

    There may be a problem with the settings of WMP, but which, if indeed this is the case, is unknown.

    In short, how can I put the safety of 2.5.0.0 to 2.5.0.1 WMP?

    None of the messages that I happened to see here seems to work, but I finally found a simple solution to this problem on the OverDrive site.

    In short, the trick is to run Internet Explorer as an administrator, what is done by double-clicking on the IE icon and select this option. When an IE window opens in this mode, the upgrade can be made of http://drmlicense.one.microsoft.com/indivsite without the error as described in the previous question.

  • Get a fixed image and audio while playing a movie in Windows Media Player, also get the message: "network is too busy to read the file to its original quality.

    Original title: Windows Media Player

    When I go to play a movie using windows MediaPlayer all I get is an imagwe again with audio and this message 'network is too busy to read the file to its original quality. Also, all my other media playing programs read the video but are rather "lag". I think the problem is that I already used a program to download torrents called 'BitTorent' and maybe this has used up all my bandwidth or processing speed? Not really sure but would really like it if I could still use WMP and I'm looking for resolution to my problem?

    Thank you
