=================================
The following decoder might be worth a try:

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

3ivx decoder

3ivx MPEG-4 5.0.2 decoder
http://store.3ivx.com/3ivxStore/product_details.php?ID=11

The components of the 3ivx decoder read
most MP4, M4A, 3GP, MOV and AVI files
with Audio MPEG-4 video and MPEG-4 AAC

Or... maybe he freeware VLC Media Player would be
be worth a try:

  • Windows Media Player 12 and Windows Virtual PC

    Dear Sir.

    Windows Vista, standard support, why all the new products like Windows Media Player 12, Windows Virtual PC is not released for Windows Vista. It seems that Windows Vista is no longer supported, I ask you to get some new free packages for Windows Vista also.

    Thanking you in anticipation

    Hi Rannvijay,

    Windows Media player 12 will come out for Vista sometime this year.

    Virtual PC is a useless program because there are other, better programs like Sun's VirtualBox: http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads

  • I can't play DVDs in Windows Media Player 12 on Windows 7 Pro and get this error msg: Windows Media Player cannot play this DVD because there is a problem with the digital copy between your DVD drive decoder and video card protection.

    Hello, thanks for reading and helping me.

    I try to play a legitimate, belonging to DVD, but Windows Media Player 12 will not play on my computer Windows 7 Professional.  The DVD worked a few days ago, but all of a sudden, I get the following error message:

    "Windows Media Player cannot play this DVD because there is a problem with the digital copy between your DVD player and the video card protection decoder. Try to install a driver available for your video card.

    I did a lot of research of these forums and on the ' net.  Here are the suggested steps I tried without success:

    • I tried VLC player.  This works.  However, rather than use this workaround, I wish to find a solution to my problem WMP/WMC.
    • I tried several DVD for years over the last decade.  These DVD works on my laptop, also running Windows 7 Professional and the shark 007 codec.
    • I uninstalled my Shark 007 codec
    • I tried other codecs (K-Lite)
    • I assured that the latest drivers are installed on my video card, XFX ATI Radeon 5850
    • I tried to uninstall Nero 9
    • I tried to use the Windows 7 troubleshooting options:
    • > Reading and burning CD, DVD and Blu - ray (no problem)
    • > Windows Media Player DVD (no problem)
    • > Windows Media Player Settings (detects a problem, wants to restore factory settings, every time, no matter what happens)
    • A system restore to a time when the DVD was working did not resolve the issue
    • The different links in Microsoft, I found in this forum about this problem do not seem to be useful.  There is a link that points to the set-top boxes, but this page just says: "Windows 7 comes with a decoder.
    • I assured the latest driver is available by going to "Device Manager", right click on the drive, then click on "update driver software".
    • I assured that the latest firmware is installed directly from the manufacturer's website.

    Problems with media player 11 and all other players, playing music is broken?

    Hi all

    I have a big sound even and odd / problem reading music?

    My computer using windows media player 11 and classic media windows and others to play my music in the hard lists recorded by windows media player 11 copied from my CD.

    But here's the weird problem that only started to happen now, when I play music saved on any one of the players of the computer the sound breaks sometimes but not always?

    Even if I try tp use players like windows media player 11 to play recorded video clips sound breaks toward the top, but the video image only?

    I have a newly completed with windows xp home system and service pack 3, and all memory and material necessary for a pc game of level, a new graphics card was installed and by the way the problem of noise was there before this was done?

    I don't know what is the fault? And I don't know how to find out what the required audio driver are for his computer system I?

    I tried the right click on the audio device to see if the pilot could be updated in case that's all? All he asks is a cd or a floppy disk, but I thought you could ask to search for drivers online too?

    He even now breaks the game sounds too!

    Help, please

    If you access Windows Update (start - programs - Windows Update), you can
    see if there is a newer driver. The drivers are optional updates are not so made
    automatically.
     
    Download the driver for your audio hardware manufacturer (or motherboard if
    "It's built-in sound). They are often newer than Windows Update.
     
    This explains how to disable the improvements.

  • Windows Media Player 11 and IE 8 XP Pro and can't listen to a CD I ripped,.

    original title: music licensing

    I am running Windows Media Player 11 and IE8 installed on XP Pro and when I try to listen to a CD that I pulled it out of my computer, a new tab opens in Firefox (my default browser), with the following message:

    The license can not be downloaded because your Web browser is not supported.
    To download a license, you must install Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 or later.
    To install the latest version of Internet Explorer, see the Windows Update page.

    What do I need any type of license to, to listen to music, I ripped a CD I bought, and furthermore that the browser has to do with what ever automated procedure Microsoft Media Player must perform?

    Suspecting that not having IE selected as the default browser might be interfering, I did so (something I'm not impressed about) and instead, was taken through to a Windows Media Technologies page http://drmlicense.one.microsoft.com/pdrm/en/welcome.asp?challenge=AAEAAZB*vUQ029QDmL5QfLzVnjGCf9din34fu*twoJQKPK0Agme7r3JqmhpZNJIHdVJ3JF20CQEtGSO6im53G7MUAjceYDRQUZXp2ghI5bYyB7kJjpvQoHFJNtNRWAvEXvv!fk7GbENwhn1K0gzMvWstLFBf3Esp9laOTsOCLqO7FqCfeYinJkeEGUevauivoM3NLAJOP4exrtgQX4zeRcujxi7W7AmLGDNRhh2qEgP1WmXh2PkzNZXwSn3QznsTK8!up58P10sX&DRMVer=1.4&embedded=false that provided some information about Licensing and Migrations and offered the opportunity to Download a License.  However, after selecting this button has encountered an error: 438 unknown error occurred when you store your license.

    Where are the stored licenses and why is this is not the case with all the music I have on my computer?  Y at - it a way to wipe the slate clean for example. delete this dabase?

    I would appreciate an overview of this and especially a viable solution.  Thanks for your time.

    Microsoft actually has nothing to with licenses, this all started with copywrights, Pat.

    CD/dvd/MFG, etc. even VCR tapes come into play... 3rd & 4th parties associated with records

    & distribution band want a piece of the action, this puts some control over fraudlent records/etc...

    Yes, there is a lot of BS

    From there, simply download IE8, set internet options in IE, open WMP, get the license.

  • Windows Media Player 12 on Windows 7 stops working after recovery from sleep mode

    I have problems to make Windows Media Player 12 to run correctly after a system sleep (standby). It works very well after the maximum boot and for as long that the machine is not going mode sleep. It is only a problem with Windows 7 and Media player 12. All other Win 7 applications seem to work correctly. The system also works very well for Vista/Media player 11.

    I installed my upgrade Windows 7 Home Premium x 64 as a new installation on a separate hard drive. This problem exists right after installation - no other software not added. I then installed all the updates MS available and the problem has not disappeared. I installed the OS a couple of times (including a copy of Windows 7 Professional x 64) on another hard drive too and the problem remains.

    Media Player 12 works perfectly until the system goes into sleep mode - either by itself, or manually. When it resumes, Media player launches, but when you try to play something, he will only play the first couple notes of music and then freeze. Same thing with videos - it will get the first couple of frames played, and then hang. If you continue to stop and restart Media Player, eventually it will be totally suspended and after a few minutes the error "Server execution failed" message. At that point in the Task Manager, wmplayer.exe will consume is a complete base my Quad CPU (25%), do nothing. Sometimes, you can kill the process and take control of the back of the PC. Other times it crashes completely and the only thing you can do is to shut down the PC.

    Media Player 11 under Vista Home Premium x 64 on the same PC works fine. I was never able to get Media Player 12 in Windows 7 to work properly after a standby/on standby. If I reboot, everything works fine so it seems to be that something related to a problem of sleep/recovery.

    HP supports suggested restarting the service WMP network sharing.  That has not helped, but if I stopped and set to manual start, Media Player would play the sound/music but not video of several tests.  But if I stopped and began to WMP 12 a few times more the problem returns.

    Well after working with the help of HP for several days, it seems to be something between the video card and card mother / BIOS between them.  At start-up, everything works well, but after the exit mode ensures, hardware diagnostics show a failure of local video memory.  Media Player is finally touched by it.  Doesn't a lot of sense to me that this does not happen under Vista, Win 7.  You have to return the PC to HP for diagnosis/repair.

  • Windows Media Player 12 for Windows 7 Firefox plugin is not available

    Hello.  I ran myself ragged trying to read solutions to this problem in the forums without will and help.  I have a new computer, recalling the problems of plugin for Vista 32 bit on causing FF of the major problems with my video card, then burn out of memory... I really need to get this right for this new computer.

    Trying to watch a video web live cam, FF requires the Windows Media Player plugin.  When I click to install it, it says that it cannot install, tells me to install directly by clicking on a link.  When I click on that link, it says that the plugin for Windows Media Player 11 and gave me the ability to choose amongst, I think it's for Vista 32 bit and 64 bit and Windows 98 32 and 64-bit systems.

    First, Windows 7 has not been included.  I therefore searched to see if Windows 7 uses one of these older versions and seen posted tons of problems and tons of solutions which could not all be real fixes.

    Can please tell me first, is "Windows Media Player version 11 of"plugin"a version number of a plugin, or this is the plugin for WMP Version 11?

    Finally, please can you me there at - it a separate card that will work for Version 12 WPM... Since there are apparently so many serious problems reported on this all over the Internet and I have already destroyed a computer on this issue on the plugin for WMP Vista problem.

    Would appreciate your professional opinion so that I can use my computer.  Thank you, Teresa Brown

    Wow.  Incredible.  made with MS Windows.  I can't believe the audacity of the service the customer more.  This Windows computer will come back, time to start another OS still knows customer service requires the polite label.  Can you people read?

    Yes we can.  But you don't seem to understand the point of this site.  Microsoft Answers is supported only for Windows and Microsoft products.  Mozilla Firefox is not a Microsoft Product and therefor won't get support for Microsoft.  It is a 3rd party software.

    So even if it can run in Windows, it is not created, designed or supported by Microsoft.  Mozilla has their own support forums in which you are to visit and ask for help.

    It is no different practice followed by anyone.  Go on an Apple forum and asking for Windows Help or go on a Linux-based forum and ask for help from Windows.  What do you think of that your answers will be?  They will be exactly the same.  They do not support the software that they do not.

    So please note that advice were good and quite OK.  You ask for advice on Mozilla Firefox that we are not able to support.
