• AVI video files play sound but no video in Windows Media Player 7

  My video files avi play sound but no video in Windows Media Player 7. Video files avi are since 2002 and has played very well until I'm a new PC with Windows 7 so I know that the files are not corrupt. All my other files and videos play fine in Media Player. I checked online and seen the posts in other forums on the codecs being the problem. Does anyone know how to fix this? Based on the other forums I found it seems that it is not uncommon that a problem with Win7.

  Also, is it possible to convert audio and video files in different formats with Media Player? Or do I need any other software to do this?

  It is not that there is a problem in Windows 7, it is more likely that you don't have just the installed CODEC the video file is saved with.  You will need to find a source, download and install any CODEC no MS yourself. You can use GSpot to identify CODECs used in AVI files. An alternative to downloading of many individual CODECs is to install FFDSHOW instead. Some media players like VLC and Media Player Classic also have internal CODECS and support for a wide variety of video and audio file types.

• Windows Media Player plays sound but no video.

  Original title:

  Microsoft Media Player does not.  His only...

  Download Prism-FormatFactory and video file converter to convert my MOV files (from the Canon camera) because I wanted to use Microsoft Movie Maker and it does not recognize the MOV files.  Convert AVI and WMV files.  Media Player played them well before the update of the version of Media Player that I had.  Updated my Player multimedia media Player 11 last night and now nothing works.  Files that I ran across the Prism both FormatFactory have no video and audio.  A couple have begun to play but only for half a second, then turns off.  Any ideas?  Really frustrated here.  Have already downloaded service pack most recent for the codec as well.

  I need help for fixing Windows Media Player in Windows XP Home Edition. Plays CD but will not play a dvd. I had my computer cleaned by a computer company of fix - it about a year ago, and they have installed service pack 3. I tried the free VLC Player and it would not work.

• Microsoft should update Windows Media Player to play all kinds of videos and upgrade the Windows Photo Viewer to open all types of photos

  Original title: microsoft should spend there windows media player that can play any type of vedio.it will traditionally use media player to download other players instead.

  Microsoft should there be upgraded windows media player that can play any type of vedio.it will traditionally use media player to download other players instead. and also upgrad windows photo viewer to open all types of photos...

  The latest version of Windows Media Player that could open almost any multimedia file was version 6.4. Starting from this version, Microsoft have not been allowed to allow WMP to play almost any type of media file, and they were taken to court top.

  That's why Microsoft does not now permit. Apparently, the decisions of the Court are there to give other media players, including Apple stuff, a foothold in the market. I don't think Microsoft 3rd party codecs use same lawyer in case they have trouble.

• With media player, I get audio but no video. What is the problem?

  Whether it's a wvm file or not, I get a black screen with audio only.

  Hi newbewon1

  1. you try to play a WMV file?
  2. what operating system is installed on the computer?

  I suggest you to check and to provide us with the information about the installed operating system.

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/help/which-version-of-the-Windows-operating-system-am-i-running

  For resolution, please refer to the procedure below and identify what codec was used to compress the file. You must install the codec even on the computer to read the file. There is no absolute way to do that, but here are your best options:

  ·          To determine what codec was used with a specific file, play the file in the player, if possible. When the file is playing, right-click the file in the library, and then click Properties. On the file tab, look at the Audio codec and Video codec sections.

  ·          Use a non-Microsoft codec identification tool. Many are available on the Internet.

  So you can check if the installation using the correct codec solve you the problem. You can use your favorite search engine to download and install the codec. Refer to the below help links -.

• Media Player cannot play .avi files

  I saw this forum topic music & sounds, but thought it would be a better place to discuss.
  My Media Player under Win XP (with Realplayer) will not play .avi files. It will play sound but not video. This problem seems to be common to other non-Microsoft forums. On these forums some say get a pack of codecs, some say not, others say it will be such a huge pain to the difficulty I should just download a different type of player. I hope someone has a concrete answer.

  Thank you!

  John, thanks for the levant all these links, etc for me! I tried GSpot, but all he would say is 'unable to make the video' and nothing else - without mistakes, tips, nothing. I tried to look for something on this result on google, but there are so many references to video rendering GSpot it may take some real effort to find something on my specific problem. I'll try the codec pack you suggested, but I don't know if I need to remove the pack if it doesent help, or just leave them as what.
  I'll let you know how it goes.

• When I download a WMV file on a website and then play through the Player Windows Media, I get the audio but the video is just a green screen Uni.

  When I download a wmv on an internet site and then play through the Player Windows Media, I get the audio but the video is just a green screen Uni.  I was told that the media player can miss a card.

  Hello

  1. what operating system is installed on the computer?
  2. are you able to play videos other than video .wmv successfully?
  3. don't you make changes to the computer before the show?

  Method 1
  I suggest you to check if the hardware acceleration of the display device setting is too high.
  a. Click Start, click Run, type desk.cpl and then click OK.

  b. click on the settings tab and then click Advanced.

  c. click the Troubleshooting tab, and then move the hardware acceleration to none.

  d. click on apply and then click OK twice.

  e. If the problem is resolved after you move the slider hardware acceleration to none, contact the manufacturer of the graphics adapter driver to determine if there is an update that resolves this specific problem.

  Method 2
  The required codec is missing or damaged. If the problem occurs when you use a .wmv file, download or reinstall the latest version of Windows Media Player. If you use an earlier version of Windows Media Player, upgrade to the current version of Windows Media Player for your operating system.
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/downloads/Windows-Media-Player

  If the problem occurs when you use a different format of video file, for example a .mpeg file or an .avi file, download or reinstall the appropriate third-party codec.

• No sound in 3g 2 files, error "Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The player does not support the format you are trying to play. »

  Original title: cannot get audio from video .3g2 (Windows 7)

  I have a number of videos that were recorded on a Motorola phone to format .3g2, when I played against them in windows XP Pro using what was the most recent media player, they played very well and the audio was present.

  I've since upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate and have found that videos will play with media player sound is not output.

  I tried different players like VLC (same result, no sound) and came across one called SUPER from erightsoft which indeed works and allows me to re - encode to .wmv BUT when I do and you try to read the .wmv I encounter an error:

  "Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The player does not support the format you are trying to play. »

  When I clikc on help, I am led to a page with links on THIS forum.

  So here I am.

  Can someone explain what is happening, why it happens and how / if I can convert them into a playable (with audio) .wmv friendly format?
