• MP4 video files do not appear in Windows Media Player 12

  Hi, I have Windows 7 64 bit and WMP version 12.0.7600.16667

  I have several .mp4 video files in the folder my videos that do not appear in the video library (other type .avi files). I want to listen to these files on my Sony Playstation so I did already a lot of googling but could not find a solution. From what I checked on my system, I already have a codec and if I click on a such file in play in WMP.

  Can I do to solve this problem? Thank you.

  I don't know if it has changed since Vista but Mp4 video was not a video file type recognized, so a registry change has been necessary to make it usable as MS file formats AVI or WMV etc... MS has (yet?) Default identified it as an audio file format. MP4 is in fact also a video container type of file, such as AVI. You need a separator of suitable as well as audio and video CODECs on the system file.

  The instructions for the installation of ffdshow and Haali splitter should work:

  http://www.Afterdawn.com/guides/archive/how_to_play_mp4_files.cfm

  It is essentially the same thing that I've done and MP4 files appear in my video library WMP.

• Cannot read the DVD with Windows Media Player

  Running WIndows Server 2008 R2.  Desktop experience is responsible.  In my view, that it includes Windows Media Player V12.

  Try to play the DVD.  The message "setting resolution".  Setting resolution does not help.

  Installed K-Lite Codec Pack full.  Get the same message on the resolution setting.  Uninstall K - Lite Codec Pack now I get ' WMP cannot play the DVD because no compatible DVD decoder is not installed on your computer.

  I'm a novice and dangerous, so no "step-by-steps" would be greatly appreciated.

  Hi MarkMann,

  Your question of Windows is more complex than what is generally answered in the Microsoft Answers forums. It is better suited for Windows Server on TechNet. Please post your question in the TechNet Windows Server forum.

• Internal error in the server with Windows Media Player 12

  For the last week where by clicking on "Find album info" when you use Windows Media Player, I get an error message that reads 500 - internal server error. There is a problem with the resource you are looking for, and it cannot be displayed.' I have not downloaded software that would interfere with the modified parameters or multimedia player. I ran Microsoft Fix It, and this has not fixed the problem. Any help to fix this problem would be greatly appreciated.

  If you want to avoid download and install again, you can choose ' hide ' and then it can be installed without wanting to. You should see the option to hide an update on the configuration page.
