old videos will no longer play / audio codec missing

Some old videos that I no longer will play.  It says I'm missing an Audio Sharp G.726 audio codec (45). I tried to download the components, but I do not know if it is applied to Windows Media Player.

Yes, I had already tried and that has done nothing, so I went to http://www.free-codecs.com/sharp_g726_audio_codec_download.htm , a site that had the missing codec and installed it.  It took three tries and I had to uninstall and reistall of other codec packages I tried, then restarted after making my slow super computer and reinstall just the single missing codec and finally it worked.

  • Video will not start RAM, Audio-only preview play

    Processor: 3.4 GHz Intel Core i7

    Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680MX 2048 MB

    16 GB of Ram

    Mac OSX Yosemite 10.10

    After Effects Version: CS6 10.0.4.2

    OK, so let's say you make a simple animation, like a circle moving from the left side of the screen in the Center with an audio track (or not at all). Hit the RAM Preview, it will make the animation. However, reading, audio is played from the beginning, and then the animation takes about 3 seconds, where the circle has already entered into the composition. Now, if a loop is executed after playing the full preview, then only I will see the circle enter the screen from left to right.

    Also, if I check the box of full-screen, I'll see it animate from the beginning. Box info to a point says "Existing keyframes lock" and then, after 3 seconds, said 'Play on 3 seconds'. It doesn't mean that it is playing in real time, etc..

    So during the first 3 seconds, I don't see any animation, and then he comes back after that point. I dumped cache and everything, restarted my computer and reset my preferences. Someone has an idea of what's going on?

  • CD will no longer play in a cd player.

    Recently, I've burned audio CDs in WMP and they play in the computer, in my two dvd players connected to TV and my car stereo but won't play in my two stereo cd players.  In fact, a few but they take a lot of time to "load".  Others never load nor a message 'no disc '.  If I try a cd burned months ago, they play as they always did without problem or delay in "loading".  Obviously, the music is ON the cd, but something is at the origin of these 2 players for not being able to read or load it.  I tried different cd Mfg., but which was never a problem before.  It makes little difference.  The worst was a Memorex color cd batch all gave a message 'no disc '.  On a few of the blanks Magnavox (which ALWAYS worked very well), they will BE finally "load", but it takes a lot of time.  Most will not.  Yet once, I tried previously burned to the cd in the cd player 2 and they work fine.  What I NOW burn, is a problem, but ONLY on 2 stereo drives cd and only with CDs burned in the last month or two.  I ran the free program offered by Microsoft to correct WM, etc, but nothing has changed.    I did a little at different speeds without success.  Basically, I've been ripping / burning using Windows Audio at different speeds a few with no perceptible change in the results.  Later I received from an expert internet the burner to computer was bad.  It is relatively new and has worked very well until very recently.

    Q: could it have something to do with the cd been closed properly?  The cd play in my car, my computer and my dvd player if it has not been closed correctly?  During the burning process, he says it closes.

    Q: codec have something to do with the playback of the cd?  Could they have changed during a windows update do the cd players obsolete readers?

    Flash video does not play on my site, but I can hear the audio perfectly well. Video player interface is not visible either - blank space instead.

  • Audiobooks from Netlibrary will no longer play

    In the past, I managed to download and play 2 audio books from the media center of Netlibrary my clip. Yesterday, I tried to download another book, and he won't play at all. When I select my music and press Play, it scrolls all chapter numbers, but it will not stop on a whole chapter and play anything. I deleted the audio book and downloaded another. I had exactly the same result.

  • music past PC from XP to Vista PC and more will no longer play in the drive media or import into itunes

    I transferred a large amount of music from my work (XP Dell) computer to my home laptop (Dell Vista) via an external hard drive.  About 3/4 of the music now will not import into itunes (nothing happens at all when I try to add or drag the files on), and Windows media player will not play them.  He complains about the codex or file extension.  I is not the exact message at the moment but you can get it later.
    The songs will play in another free player I downloaded (I don't remember who it was but can find out (I'm not on my laptop now)).
    I've had this problem for a year or two and thinking of upgrading to Windows 7 just if I can access my music again, but don't know if it will even work and prefer not spend this money if there is a solution under Vista.
    The files are a mixture of types, some were given to me and others that I transferred via CD myself.  I have all the original CD or files. Each of them has played without problems on the XP PC.  When I got this problem, I sent one of the files from my Vista computer on an XP machine and it played smoothly on this point, so it seems not that files have been corrupted.  It seems to be a Vista problem that also affects good windows media player and itunes.  I want to be able to get the songs in itunes, so I can listen to on my Ipod.
    Any help gratefully received.

  • videos will not completely play without slaughter several times why?, why? Pourquoiiii?

    Do you mean the videos that play you in Windows Media Player, or videos that you view in a browser, from sources online?

    If you mean online videos played through the browser, then the reason of they stop has to do with the speed of the internet connection that you are using, and how long your computer is buffering videos. Basically, the video plays faster, then data is downloaded and stored while it freezes while downloading catches up. On Youtube and similar sites, you might be able to get around this by pausing the video for a few minutes at the beginning, to give him a head start on the download. Or see the video twice: the second about must be smooth, because the data has already been stored.
    Now, if you mean videos has played in Media Player directly from your hard drive, I have no idea why he would do that. :)
    I hope someone else can chime and you help in this matter.

  • Windows Media Player will no longer play downloaded visualizations

    Recently, I had a problem range from simple annoyance to frustrating. The visualizations that I bought two (IE GE Force Aeon of spectrum) and those downloaded from Micorsoft (Album Art 3D, bubbles) will not play. It was a gradual progression, first I would like to restart and the problem seems to be resolved. Then my X 86 would not work, but would be my Media Player for 64-bit. Now they don't work at all. However, I can still see them. DLL in the list and my Alchemy, Bars and waves and the batteries still work fine (coincidentally, those working in Windows Media Center, who has never played the downloaded content - at least not on Windows 7-64 bit). I am running Windows 7 Ulitmate, service pack 1(64bit) with a card ATI 5850 vid and a Phenom II x 4 965 processor.

    Hi michardav,

    ·         Are you able to play integrated visualizations?

    I suggest you run the troubleshooter in Windows Media Player and see if it helps.

  • Video WMV no longer plays in first Elements 9

    I have the video I used with this software for about 6 months suddenly resembling the image as an attachment. It is projected the half and I reduced to wmv files. They played fine once and are now black at the top. Is there a solution to this? The orginal files play fine on the PC, but inside the software, no matter if it was on a timeline or a note, it is distorted.

    Thanks for any help.screengrab.PNG

    What you are experiencing is the display of wmv 1/2 associated with a recent Windows Update kb. That Ko must be deleted.

    Please check the announcement at the top of this Forum of items first. This has been a 'hot' topic for awhile now. Many discussions on the issue.

    For your convenience, this is what you should find in the ad at the top of this forum.

    Announcement: Windows Update is display be blackened

    MicroSoft has released an update for Windows, which poses problems with screens. What follows is of Talbot McInnis, who has been tracking this problem and offers a solution:

    "MS technology MS13-057.  Specifically, on kb2834904 XP and windows 7 kb2803821 is causing a problem

    .

    For us, it happens when the decoding of WMV9 files.  Not all uses of decoding WMV are affected, but I have confirmed that when linking the WMV decode DLL to a sample for RGB32 video grabber, executives are black on top, so that points directly to the internal data of the dll to decode WMV decoding.

    You can uninstall these windows updates to fix your problem. »

    There are several discussions on the issue that this update is initially on the pre and PrPro Forums, so we can get more details. So far, there is not another hotfix of MS or Adobe.

    a. for now, set up updates Windows so that you need notification before any downloading and installing them.

    and

    b. If you catch crime pending important updates Windows updates, right-click and select hide. Which is supposed to prevent him from returning.

  • After the first Placement on the Timeline, video video will not be placed on the Timeline

    Recently, I have this problem: if I drag and drop a clip on the timeline of sequence for the first time, the sequence automatically creates all the parameters and the video plays very well. However, when I do a second clip on the timeline (exact same type of images, different plug), the video will not, place the audio will be. Is no question of I open the item in the preview monitor and then try to insert images on the monitor of the sequence, or if I'm simply trying to drag images right on the timeline, the video will not be placed and there is some X out on video, when I try. I had this problem with a few sequences of H264 and I thought it was just the codec - but now I use my DVCPRO HD film and have never had the question before. Any ideas? It's very frustrating!

  • Video Lightbox does not play in iFrame in Internet Explorer

    I built a site to include training videos with a widget (jQuery) composition in Muse CC.

    My site plays well on Firefox and Chrome, but in Internet Explorer, the video will eject and play on my Windows Media Player.  I had my team test in IE, and they had the same problem.

    Is that what I can do to make the videos only play in the compostion and the iframe and will not appear?

    EX: programs in school full time. Powered training team

    If you open the site in FF / Chrome, it works well.  If you open in Internet Explorer, a separate pop-up window plays the video.
