  May be that the video file format is not compatible with Windows Media Player.

  Options: -.

  1] download and install VLC Player. It's free and supports file formats more than WMP.

  2] download and install the codecs

  Personally, I prefer VLC Player-if you have that then not need to download and install the codec of any third party.

• Windows Media Player cannot play the videos

  Since the last 2 months I find that my Windows Media Player cannot play the videos. After having tried many, I installed the third-party Codec such as GOM Player, GOM DECODER and GOM converter on an experimental basis. For all its operation I installed that for the second time (test period = 1 month). Now, I found some unusual - the entire screen with prop-up Windows began to appear "foggy, unusually large screen, Visuality fuzzy." So GOM was 'uninstalled' in the menu 'program & feature. When he learned from the Microsoft Forum I installed k - lite Codec system. Now, some of my videos recorded under 'Image' menu works fine. But the videos stored in the "library" of WMP is not reacting. I need your advice. Again, in a prop-up window of K-Lite has asked to opt feither for: (i) (ii) repairs, (Iii) remove or change. I opted for changing file Windows Vista Codec - was the selection was appropriate? Should I opt for Vista Codec file repair?

• My Windows Media Player will play the video of an MPG file, but it will not play the sound. What is the cause?

  I do video editing.  I transferred my camera video file and Windows Media Player played the video and audio very well at the beginning.  I edited the file with editing software and exported the file again.  Now, the sound will not play using WMP but it will play if I use video editing software.

  As a result, I've uploaded new files from the camera and now WMP not give me sound on those either.  If something seems to be affected by my WMP.  Any help you can give would be much appreciated.

  Hi rgosmond,

  (a) don't you get any specific error message when you play the video?

  (b) what is the file format of the resulting video file after editing by using the video editing software?

  (c) you are able to play the files on the computer? You hear the sound?

  I suggest you try the following steps:

  O make sure that windows MediaPlayer is not muted, press F7 on the keyboard to turn the sound back on.

  Ø check if the volume is at a minimum in Media Player, press F9 on the keyboard to increase the volume.

  Verify that the default audio device is correctly set

  1. click on start, type Sound in the box to start the search.

  2. click on sound in the results of search at the top of the start menu.

  3. click on the tab reading notice the check mark next to the default device. For most users, the default device is speakers. Make sure that the audio settings are configured as expected. Follow these steps:

  4. on the playback tab, select the playback device, click Properties, click the Advanced tab and make sure that the default Format is set to the value you expect. When you are finished, close this window to return to the previous window.

  5. on the playback tab, select the playback device, click on configure and make sure that the configurations are set correctly.

  6. If the sound settings are well positioned, you are using speakers as the audio device and your speakers are already set as the default device, go to method 5 now.

  7. Select the audio device you want as the default audio device and then click on set as default.

  8. click OK to save your settings and close the sound dialog box.

  Now, check if the problem is resolved.

  Thank you, and in what concerns:

• Media Player will not work "Windows Media Player cannot play the file because the required video codec is not installed on your computer."

  I currently have Windows 8.  However, when I try to play a seminar online on the internet, I get the following message is displayed:

  Windows Media Player can not play the file because the required video codec is not installed on your computer.

  Can someone point me in the right direction to solve this problem?

  Please and thank you!

  Hello

  Welcome to the Microsoft Community forums.

  I understand that you are not able to play a Webinar on the windows computer using Windows Media Player 8.

  I would be grateful if you can provide us with the following information to help us better understand the issue.

  1 you get an error code or the name of the codec to install?

  2. are you able to play other files with Windows media player?

  3. What are the file format of the multimedia files that you are not able to play using Windows media player?

  4. are you referring to the video file saved using Webinar?

  This problem is caused if the file format is not supported by windows media player.

  Codec compresses or decompresses media files. Windows media player uses codecs to play and create media files.

  See the link below for the types of files supported by windows media player.

  https://support.Microsoft.com/kb/316992?WA=wsignin1.0

  You can also refer to a link to find out what codecs are installed on your computer.

  See the link below if you receive a playback audio codec error but video does not play when you play files multimedia in Windows Media player 11, as shown in the link also applies to Windows Media player 12.

  Windows Media Player 11: Video

  The video played from WMV files fate resembling a negative form of rhe photo. How to return normal image?

  Hi Jim,.

  ·         Since when are you facing this problem?

  ·         You did changes to the player before the show?

  Step 1: Try reducing video hardware acceleration in Windows Media Player.

  a. in Windows Media Player, on the Tools menu, click Options.

  b. on the performance , under video Accelerationtab, move the slider more close votes to zero, and then click OK.

  If this allows you to play videos very well, this indicates that there is a problem with your graphics card or driver.

  Step 2: You can get an updated driver from the manufacturer of the display adapter.

It makes the whole process, and it did as it syncs, but at the end of that music just does not appear in the memory card. If I go to the status of the synchronization, all songs appear with a RED x next and it says that Windows has encountered a problem during the synchronization of the file to the device.
