No, will not play a WMV file on a free-standing DVD player.

The best would be to create a video DVD and requires

  • Get a fixed image and audio while playing a movie in Windows Media Player, also get the message: "network is too busy to read the file to its original quality.

    Original title: Windows Media Player

    When I go to play a movie using windows MediaPlayer all I get is an imagwe again with audio and this message 'network is too busy to read the file to its original quality. Also, all my other media playing programs read the video but are rather "lag". I think the problem is that I already used a program to download torrents called 'BitTorent' and maybe this has used up all my bandwidth or processing speed? Not really sure but would really like it if I could still use WMP and I'm looking for resolution to my problem?

    Thank you

    Hi Jeremy,.

    It seems that you have problems with playback of video files in Windows Media Player.

    1. what operating system do you use?
    2. this happens with all the videos?

    If you use Windows 7, here are a few troubleshooting steps that you can try.

    Method 1: Try to run the troubleshooting Windows Media Player settings Troubleshooter:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/open-the-Windows-Media-Player-settings-Troubleshooter

    Method 2: If the problem persists, try to disable and enable Media Player and check.

    Step 1: turn off Windows Media Player:
    a. go initially and in search type 'Turn Windows has or not'.
    b. click on "Turn Windows features on or off".
    c. find multimedia and uncheck Windows Media Player.
    d. restart the computer.
     
    Step 2: Enable the Windows Media Player:
    a. go initially and in search type 'Turn Windows has or not'.
    b. click on "Turn Windows features on or off".
    c. find the multimedia functions and place a check mark in front of the Windows Media Player.
    d. restart the computer.

    For more information, see the article:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/turn-Windows-features-on-or-off

    Method 3: Try to re register the wmp.dll file and check if it helps.

    a. log on as an administrator.
    b. click Start, type cmd in the text box Search , right-click on cmd.exe, click run as administratorand then click continue.
    c. at the command prompt, type regsvr32 wmp.dll, and then click OK.

    I hope this helps!

  • Satellite Pro A300D - cannot play movies on a Toshiba DVD player

    Hi guys,.

    When I play movies in Toshiba DVD player I get the following error message: "unable to output the video to an external device. Please check the external output setting after the end of the application. TEMPRO, I installed and tried to install all updates - some of them were for different hardware so wouldn't install.

    I get a similar problem in Windows Media Player "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. VLC player works fine. The drive otherwise normally functioning.

    It's the same problem, as described in this thread: http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=201029&tstart=0, but all the answers are a similar problem with HD DVD on a different model (P200).

    Anyone know how I can fix this problem? I'm not sure I can be bothered to go back and reinstall Vista etc...

    Thank you
    Alex

    Hey Buddy,

    According to the Toshiba DVD Player error message: are you trying to watch DVDs on an external monitor or TV?
    In your case, I will try to reinstall the DVD playback software. This means delete the current version and then restart your computer. Then download and install the latest software from Toshiba DVD player.

    But to be honest: it's that everything works with VLC media player as it s very big and small media player that can play all audio and video files. Isn t it? ;)

    I can not play the movie on my computer.

    He saved a MP4 on my hard drive - it wont; open for Windows Media, Quicktime - or one of several other mp4 players I downloaded (and uninstall)

    I chose the option "burn to disc" - thinking naively that it would actually burn something I could put on a dvd player and play.

    First of all - why not? Why I have this burn to a disc if it won't; Open or play on any computer or dvd player?

    Many of the forums say the option 'Choose the Mastering' and don't forget to finalize the disc.

  • DVD player won't play a movie made with movie maker

    I downloaded the movie maker and made the movie to mpeg and jpg saved on my computer to my Sony cybershot camera. He burned first to a DVD-R and nothing. So I saved a copy on my computer then burn a copy on a CD - R. Now, when I put the CD or the DVD-R in my Portable DVD player it must play fair? No, it's the 'bad disk '. When I put in another DVD player attached to my TV they return "not found no file supported" for CD - R and the 'bad disc' on the DVD-R. So neither my old portable DVD player or most recent DVD drive attached to the TV will play one of them.  I know the movies is on their as when I stick to the computer, Windows Media Player plays automatically. Even with the DVD-R. So, this is the DVD drive laptop who can not read or what I am doing wrong?

    What you were doing only works if you play the CD or DVD on the SAME computer that the movie has been created.

    It will NOT pay in another computer, it won't play in any DVD player.

    What you need is to burn pictures on a DVD Maker, not a "movie maker".

    Issues related to the:

    1. what type of operating system are you using?

    2. in addition to the #1 question... Why did you have to 'download' a movie maker?

    3. If you want to burn a DVD movie (not), you'll need a DVD Maker, not a Movie Maker.

    What you had described, the DVD movie you will play only on the same computer that created the film.

    He will not play in another computer.
    He won't play in any DVD player.

    For your information...

    Vista has Windows Movie Maker included.  Creating Windows DVD is only available for Vista Ultimate and Vista Home Premium.

    Windows 7 should install Windows Live Essentials, which provides programs of your choice, i.e. Windows live Movie Maker and Windows Live DVD Maker, among others.
