Need to convert Windows Media WMV in AVi or Mp4 files

• Windows Media Program will not play MP4 files

  I was always able to play MP4 on my HP laptop.  Now, I get a message that Windows Media Player has encountered a problem.  I went on the site and followed the instructions.  Always impossible to get Microsoft Media Player to read my files.  I have created dozens over the last two years. I ran all the updates...

  It seems that the mp4 codec to play these videos has become corrupted or deleted. AVIcodec allows you to see if you have the right codec installed for this video http://www.myvideoproblems.com/Tutorials/avicodec.html this will tell you what codec you need, and then install or reinstall google if it comes from a cd that came with your camera or something similar.

• Problem with Windows Media Player: "Server execution failed" and "files needed to display video are not installed or do not work properly.

  I have a problem with Windows Media Player on laptop Lenovo G780. My laptop is under warranty (bought a month ago), but technical support Lenovo told me that the Windows Media Player program is not covered by the warranty.

  And this is a problem:

  When I click on Windows Media Player - to about 0.1 sec I see it opens and closes the window and nothing happens.

  When I select a mp3 or wmv file and right-click with the option open with Windows Media Player - I get a message: "Server execution failed" - I checked that all services with 'Media' in the name are running.

  When I select a mp3 or wmv file and right-click with the open option with Windows Media Center - Windows Media Center opens with the message: "the files needed to display video are not installed or do not work properly.

  When I select a file mp3 or wmv and right-click with option open with Windows Movie Maker life - see the video

  I tried to turn / WMP and WMC - did not help
  Tried to run as administrator - did not help
  I don't see something suspicious under events

  What can I do else?

  Thank you

  I had the same problem and then by chance, I tried a video on YouTube and it worked for me. Here's how I went on this issue and solved my problem:

  1. go to the computer, then OS (C).
  2. you will need to open Program Files (x 86) and Program Files.
  3. go to Windows Media Player in Program Files (x 86) and open the folder.  Then, remove the wmplayer file.  You may need to work around the error TrustedInstaller.  I'll tell you that, in a moment.
  4. in Program Files, go to the same folder for Windows Media Player and select the same file again. Wmplayer.  Copy the file in another window open.  Copy ensures that if the question comes up again you can at least try to fix it again.
  This should be the end of your problem.  If you need to circumvent the TrustedInstaller question is how:
  1. right click on wmplayer and select Properties > Security > advanced > owner > Edit > other users and groups.
  2. Enter your username and then click on check names.  Click OK.
  3. close the dialog boxes as he has requested.
  4. open again the properties and click Security.  Select your username from the list and click on edit.  From there, select full control.
  This should give you full control over the removal of the original file for WMP and easily allow you to copy the other files (x 86) programs.
  Please let me know how it goes for your problem.

• Hey ~ I need help in Windows Media Player 12, remove album art!

  Hey ~ I need help in Windows Media Player 12, I got some song I want to add in the album art, but I had a song I add in a hard cover and I can't remove... so pls help

  Hi VX-savers,

  Thank you for using the Microsoft Forum.

  Permanently remove the Media Player 12 album art:

  (1) you can click on View (WMP12),

  (2) choose the columns.

  (3) turn off the Album Art box, and you're done.

  Before performing this operation activate windows to show hidden files:

  (1) open the computer,

  2) click on tools, located on the top toolbar.

  (3) then Folder Options.

  (4) then click on the view tab, and then look for the element that shows the hidden files, folders and drives and check this option.

  This is where the cache. Find and remove.

  Windows 7 Media Center has its own cache of album art, where he recorded the album art thumbnails (Windows 7-cache):

  C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Microsoft\eHome\Art Cache
  (with the corresponding "USERNAME").

• How do I edit metadata for wmv, avi and mp4 files in WINDOWS XP.

  Hello world

  I have windows xp professional sp3 and windows media player 11. I am not aware that with my system, I can use anything beyond wmp11.

  I have a filmmaker who does not use Mac (I really don't like them). As such have hundreds of video files, both my own and friends, colleagues and clients. I'm * REALLY * try to organize my files and I wanted to add metadata to the videos so that I can search by category, type and the names of the people who participated in the production. I tried to make this easier by using the metatags as 'comments' and 'Keywords' etc. I thought it was a pretty simple procedure - just right click on the file and change the properties.

  I tried everything that comes to mind and spent 3 hours in all research on this question with NO results! Each awnser I've seen so far does not help me. Unless really miss me something.

  I imported video files in my library. I can't get the "Advanced Tag Editor" appears with movie files. I understand not only with audio files. I downloaded abcavi editor and who does nothing, I can't always find the files and when I right click on them and look at their properties, they remain dimmed. I used adobe bridge (cs4) and meta-data that application only works when you use it. I don't want to have to ramp bridge and sacrifice the memory just to perform a task which should be simple and accessible using my operating system.

  any help is really very much appreciated.

  Thank you very much in advance.

  -p.

  AudioShell adds tabs for metadata to the properties of the file to many formats, including WMV and MP4.

  As far as I know, there is nothing like this for AVI files, so you will need to use the external abcAVI for this. Note that AVI has very bad assumption, marking, so you're usually better with WMV or MP4.

• What is the format Windows Media play? AVI, WAV, MPEG?

  I was currently absent and recorded a few videos on my camera.  By default the M2TS files for the video camera.  I converted one of them in AVI, MPEG and WMV. Player Windows seems like none of them, nor does Windows Movie Maker.  What is the format they like? Any help?

  I'm not familiar with the program of Hamster, but I noticed on Cnet

  File conversion programs are certainly not all the same.

  Hello

  All you need is good Codec - get these if 32-bit.

  VLC needs, of no use so usually Codec as a backup when asked to support associations of files just say no.

  VLC - free

  If 64 bits and you need codec.

  Read this 1st and go that route, or use the one below. (Vista or Windows 7)

• Drive Windows Media (.wmv file) stored in the Temp folder

  When I download a wmv file, I gives me the opportunity to open the file with Windows Media Player or save the file.  Lately, I've been open files in the player, assuming that, once they play, they are stored in my 'Temp' folder and empty when I delete the folder.  I was also unpin the link in the drop down WMP.  So it was quite a surprise when my hard drive available space began to decline at an alarming rate. When I went to my folder 'Users', it was 43GB and the single folder with any real content was music with 17 GB file. Do a search for wmv files have no results, so I can only assume that there are 26 GB of 'Phantom' wmv files take place, but without any specific place in the folder "users". Given that the "Users" folder is recreated at startup, I deleted all the content, the following prompts to keep files essential and lean record for its actual content to 17.5 GB.  Now I just save the file, manage downloads and delete the files when they are needed.  Is this standard protocol used for the Media Player or is it possible to change the settings of the player?  Thanks for the help.

  First of all - the C:\Users folder should not be deleted like this - several functions of the operating system back up here and you will cause a corruption of just trying to delete it all like that.

  Second - temporary storage of videos open depends on what browser you use. If you are using Internet Explorer, they are stored under C:\Users\YourName\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache

  Chrome stores somewhere else.

  To safely clean the files, use the built-in cleaning system program.  Press Windows + R to display the run box, type cleanmgr and click OK to start the cleaning Manager.

• Windows Media Center ERROR: "some of the files needed to play radio or video are missing or corrupt." In Vista x 64

  It was working fine last week and now I get this error in Windows Media Center, "some of the files needed to play radio or video are missing or corrupt.
  Record of components Windows Media Center may have failed. »

  HUH?

  I use Vista x 64.

  I looked this error and ran sfc/scannow in administrator mode.  It took about 15 minutes and he said that some errors have been found that cannot be fixed.  I can NOT open the log file to display errors, because when I find it and click on it, it says "access denied."

  The basis going on, and made the Windows Update, I just ran on 13 April to break and corrupt something?

  I fixed that by returning to NVIDIA 196.21 driver version.
