I had a thread understanging trouble if you were to send or receive a wmv videos. Please take more time while composing.

Your Windows Media Player cannot be defined in the program 'Default Current' open the wmv files.

Start > default programs > associate a type of file or Protocol with a program > scroll all the way to ".wmv", look at her. Windows Media Player is listed as present by default?
If not, click .wmv > click on change program > If WMP is listed, click > OK
If it is not listed, click on the pointer to the right of other programs. Find WMP and select > click Open > OK

  • Windows Media Player cannot play the videos

    Since the last 2 months I find that my Windows Media Player cannot play the videos. After having tried many, I installed the third-party Codec such as GOM Player, GOM DECODER and GOM converter on an experimental basis. For all its operation I installed that for the second time (test period = 1 month). Now, I found some unusual - the entire screen with prop-up Windows began to appear "foggy, unusually large screen, Visuality fuzzy." So GOM was 'uninstalled' in the menu 'program & feature.

  • All using windows movie maker, I added audio, but I can't hear the music while playing the video... Why is this?

    All using windows movie maker, I added audio, but I can't hear the music while playing the video... Why is this?

    Hello

    1. What is the format of the video file that you use in Movie Maker?

    2. do you receive error messages when you try to play the video?

    Some audio and video file formats are not supported in Windows Movie Maker and cannot be imported. However, if you have a video or audio file that is not taken care of, you can use a non-Microsoft video editing software to convert the file into a format supported by Windows Movie Maker, and then import the video file or an audio resulting in Windows Movie Maker.

    You can use your favorite search engine and download third-party video editing software to convert the file.

    Note: The use of third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

    For more information, you can also consult the following articles:

  • Not able to play the video created with camera

    Microsoft ADPCM format (2)

    OK I got a new camera and when I try to play the video on my computer it gives me Microsoft ADPCM Format (2) no idea where im stuck and I went on the microsoft.com site, and it says its for windows 7 {(j'ai windows vista) so what im asking is is - anyone know where to download safe?} otherwise im going to get rid of him

    Hello HG143,

    ·         What is the Format of the video file you are importing and try to play?

    ADPCM, commonly referred to as a form of compression, cannot be downloaded from anywhere. It is a type of compression. The error indicates that one of the files you're trying to play does not support this format, and you may have a missing codec.

    Find out what is the format of the file you play and make sure you have the codecs for this file. Here is an article that will give you information about the Codecs.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/codecs-frequently-asked-questions

    It could also be as possible that this could be caused by some of the corrupt codec. If you have any third-party Codecs installed on your computer, I suggest you uninstall the Codecs and check if you have the same problem.

  • My Windows Media Player will play the video of an MPG file, but it will not play the sound. What is the cause?

    I do video editing.  I transferred my camera video file and Windows Media Player played the video and audio very well at the beginning.  I edited the file with editing software and exported the file again.  Now, the sound will not play using WMP but it will play if I use video editing software.

    As a result, I've uploaded new files from the camera and now WMP not give me sound on those either.  If something seems to be affected by my WMP.  Any help you can give would be much appreciated.

    Hi rgosmond,

    (a) don't you get any specific error message when you play the video?

    (b) what is the file format of the resulting video file after editing by using the video editing software?

    (c) you are able to play the files on the computer? You hear the sound?

    I suggest you try the following steps:

    O make sure that windows MediaPlayer is not muted, press F7 on the keyboard to turn the sound back on.

    Ø check if the volume is at a minimum in Media Player, press F9 on the keyboard to increase the volume.

    Verify that the default audio device is correctly set

    1. click on start, type Sound in the box to start the search.

    2. click on sound in the results of search at the top of the start menu.

    3. click on the tab reading notice the check mark next to the default device. For most users, the default device is speakers. Make sure that the audio settings are configured as expected. Follow these steps:

    4. on the playback tab, select the playback device, click Properties, click the Advanced tab and make sure that the default Format is set to the value you expect. When you are finished, close this window to return to the previous window.

    5. on the playback tab, select the playback device, click on configure and make sure that the configurations are set correctly.

    6. If the sound settings are well positioned, you are using speakers as the audio device and your speakers are already set as the default device, go to method 5 now.

    7. Select the audio device you want as the default audio device and then click on set as default.

    8. click OK to save your settings and close the sound dialog box.

    Now, check if the problem is resolved.
