    Codecs: Frequently asked questions

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-AU/Windows-Vista/codecs-frequently-asked-questions

    Use caution when installing codecs that you find on the Internet, in particular some of the free codec packs that claim to include codecs from a wide variety of companies or organizations. Incompatibilities are known to exist with some of the components in these codec packs that can cause serious playback issues in the player and other players, lead to the corruption of the system and make it difficult for Support from Microsoft to diagnose and solve playback problems. For these reasons, we strongly discourage you from installing these codec packs, and recommend that remove you them if you have installed them and you are having problems with the player. Install only codecs, filters or plug-ins from reliable sources, authorized, such as the website of the official supplier. Even in this case, be careful: many codec suppliers offer minimal customer. Before you install the components of digital media, set a system restore point. The restore point to go back to the configuration of your system, if necessary.

    I hope this helps.

  • I wonder if anyone is familiar with this type of problem with the help of a Windows Media Player for DVD videos.

    Hello!
    I came across a problem with my dvd on my laptop drive. The program that I use on my laptop is Media player from Windows. And the laptop will recognize the DVD and everything, but when it starts to play, it gives me this message from Windows Media Player: "Windows Media Player cannot play video DVDs. You may need to adjust your Windows display settings. Open display settings in Control Panel, and then try to lower your screen resolution and color quality settings. »

    Now I always use the old Windows XP for my laptop, but I can't seem to understand how to adjust the color quality and lower my screen resolution. Does anyone have a little step by step process that I could follow to do this?

    The problem is that Windows XP does not play DVD movies in native mode. You can
    have a DVD player, but it can only read DATA DVD at this time. In the order
    install a DVD codec to read video DVD discs. First we will
    Install this program from Microsoft and run it, and if you have a DVD
    Codec, it will appear in the display window. Download this program from
    here:

    http://www.softwarepatch.com/Windows/windowsdvdmpeg.html

    If it shows that you don't have a codec DVD installed, then you can
    buy one on one of the links on this page:

  • Torrent video plays fine in Windows Media Player, but only audio in Windows Movie Maker?

    I downloaded a video torrent on my Windows Vista laptop. When I went to play in Windows Media Player, it works fine. However, when I try to play it on Windows Movie Maker, I can place only the file in the audio section / music, even if it is listed as a .avi file, when I import the file and drag it on the timeline. There is no red X or any sign of a problem with the actual file. When I go to preview, I get only a black screen, as expected when playing audio files. I checked super files supported for Windows Movie Maker, and .avi is supposed to be a supported video format.

    I've downloaded xvid on my computer and it is before I even started with torrents. I know that this translates to the game in Windows Media Player.

    I tried to download the same different torrents and I get the same problem each time a different torrent site, so I know that's not the real torrent.

    I went to tools > Options and unchecked the box I had, which was the AVI decompressor, and the problem persists.

    I don't want to convert the video file, unless it is absolutely necessary. If I need to download something, I will do, as long as you point me in the right direction.

    I ask this question because I see only problems with the .avi Windows Media Player files, and I want to edit the file to make a music video.

    Any help is appreciated!

    It turns out that the only way to solve my problem was to download Windows Movie Maker 2.6. Now, I can actually edit with ease and use the original .avi file without problem. I still don't know why I had so much trouble with the version that came with my laptop, but now it's the only solution that has actually produced results.

    Hello

    Your suggestions might be. I think you need a codex or right and compatible for Win Media Player or you will need to install another player.

    Sites Web de Microsoft provides own codex for Windows media player. I ve installed the beyond and I'm able to watch all the movies and short clips on the sides of the internet as youtube for example. No problem at all...

    Check this sites from Microsoft and plug-ins available:
    http://www.Microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/plugins.aspx

    But I noticed that many Web sites provide movies that can be opened with flash player.
    I would recommend so also install this player. As far as I know you can find it on the Adobe site.

    Good luck and best regards ;)

  • How do you get the classic media player to play videos

    I still have a problem with my computer with windows media player to play the movies & videos instead of media player classic home cinema. Someone suggested a right-click on film & in the list choose 'Open with', but when I right click on the movie once downloaded nothing happens. Is there another way to get your computer to use the Media Player Classic? Thanks, Bruce

    Hi Bruce.

    Right-click on the file and choosing 'Open with' does not define the default program. Instead, right click and choose Properties. When the Properties window opens, click on the button 'change '. From there, choose the desired program. Make sure that there is a check mark in the box "always use the select program to open files of this type." See the image at the link below.

  • Windows media player displays the video like a color negative

    Had to wipe my hard drive and do a reinstall of Win - XP. Media player format has changed (another screen w / options) when you open attachments to emails, they play like color negatives. The audio seems normal, but the video is very bad.

    When you reinstall the operating system... you need to update completely
    the system for the current versions. You may need to
    update your video driver and you need also a current more
    version of Windows Media Player.
