• Where can I get a codec for Windows Vista that can play mp4 files?

  Using Windows Vista, I can't play a file video mp4 using Nero Showtime and some other video editing software. These programs show mp4 files using another computer with Windows 7.  Where can I get a codec for Windows Vista that can play mp4 files?  I don't want to install a codec pack that might ruin other programs and cause more problems than it solves. I need a codec mp4 approved by Microsoft that allows all my programs work on the Vista operating system

• When you try to play .mp4 files in WMP, I hear the sound but the picture is distorted and I can't see the photo in Windows Media Player.

  * Original title: Windows Media PLayer

  I have Windows Media Player version 12 installed but when you try to play .mp4 files in WMP, I hear the sound but the picture is distorted and I can't see the picture.  Please see image attached.

  Even if I see that I can change the version of the file in a different format, I have the same problem with videos on websites that I can not of course change the format before playing these.

  I managed to fix the problem for about 20 minutes by flattening my computer re - install the operating system and this resolved until all updates have been through, and then it disappeared again.  I tried many codecs packs and this still does not help.

  My system is running Windows 7 and Media Player version is 12.0.7601.18840, which tells me that Media Player is the most recent version.

  Please can someone help?

  

  Open uninstall a program in windows and in the left click on the feature to turn on or off windows. Clear the check box of the window Media Player, and then click ok. This will uninstall the drive, and then restart.

  After restarting the same steps, now, check the box for the same and perform a restart and if all goes well it should solve the problem.

  Note: Make sure that Windows is up-to-date.

• conventional media cannot play mp4 files, error message indicates codec for MP4 is missing

  Execution of media classic version 6.4.9.0 with Windows XP PRO with SP3 Version 3311.  These files ran before the recent windows updates.  I use Classic as a tool to learn how to improve my golf swing.  This is the only version where I can stop/reading/playforward and watch a frame at a time.  I have a file with Tiger Woods starts idling and I look to improve my game.  The error message indicates that the MP4 CODEC is missing.  Can update do I have to remove to make it work again or where I find the missing codec to download?  All other files are working except the MP4.

  As I said, it worked before without any problem.

  Do a system restore to an hour before
  the problem began could be worth a try.

• can firefox play a mp4 file?

  I have a html 5 lines of code on my server uses the tag video. the movie I mention, in the code, is a xxxxxx.mp4 file
  I can play this mp4, online or offline, in IE, Safari, Chrome and Opera, but NOT in firefox (I have v12). It gives err: "no video with a format supported MIME type found" or similar. I need to convert my mp4 to another type of file, or is there something I can 'do with' my FF to 12! I use XP, on a desktop computer.

  In general, no, the current versions of Firefox do not natively support mp4 files. Users currently require a plug-in of some sort to play mp4 files in the browser. This is likely to change at some point in the near future; There was a long discussion on this topic and the general decision was to implement support this format.

• WMP can play some mp4 files, impossible to read some, how do I solve this problem?

  I use WMP version 12.0.7600.16667.

  It can play mp4 files (so must have installed the codec requirred file), but cannot be played some I downloaded from youtube.

  How can I fix it?

  Help, please.

  In general, MP4 is just a file extension, and the codec used for encoding defines the format.

  But as you say it is downloaded from YouTube, the issue isn't with the WMP (or any other player). If you use Internet Download Manager or YouTube Downloader or any other software, the problem occurs. This is due to changes made by YouTube in their Web site. Update the version of the software was found to solve the problem.
