reading files in Media Player MKV

When you try to play MKV and mp4 files, video driver stops and affects my 25 screen colors, iI having to restart the system to fix it. Please tell me what I can do about it.

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR HELP!

Try installing VLC player, free and easy to use. He'll play about 99% of mkv files.

Windows Media Player will read MKV files perfectly if you have the right codecs and filters installed. A great help here is the Matroska Pack. This pack is ideal for new users as it installs pretty near everything, you will need to play MKV files apart from one or two, the principal being the files real player encoded.  For these install real player.

MKV is a container similar to avi, so you really need to know what codec was used for each file to be certain what works and what won't each player and to play the file, you need the right codec every time.

    Hello Nrbolton1,
    Thank you for visiting the Microsoft answers Forum.
    Try disabling UAC.
    If the problem handles Disabling UAC uninstall all third-party plugins or codecs, sounds like a WMP plant where he has no administrator rights.

    How to turn off UAC?
    Click Start > Control Panel > accounts user and family safety > user accounts > select your username > then click on change user account control settings and uncheck the box. Restart your computer for this setting to take effect.

  • Toshiba 50L7335DF: problems to play 1080 p mkv files using media player

    Hello

    _The facts_
    I have problems to read files mkv (H264, AC3 5.1) 1080 p via the media player on a USB drive (USB is formatted NTFS)

    The video begins and is OK for a few seconds/minutes, and then it becomes jerky.
    (the subtitles were on)

    I also found that the menus are generally very slow on this TV...

    I also had some problems with subtitles:
    -they were not displayed on a single video (tested OK with VLC on my laptop ubuntu)
    - and on the other, they showed too fast, I want to say it have been synchronized, but they disappeared fast after displayed.
    -one this second video, I got a few square character displayed at the beginning of some lines (maybe an encoding problem, I'll try to understand by myself)
    - And finally, the submarines are truncated at the beginning and at the end of some very long sentences on a single line.

    _So questions: _
    -Is powerful enough to manage movies mkv 1080 p TV?
    N ' matter what official NTFS support soon? (and don't tell me to FAT32... I know that the limitation of 4 GB, which is sad on 1080 p HD mkv...)
    -No recommendation for the encoding format presentations?
    -How to solve garbled subtitles?
    -There's a subtitle settings (font, size, duration, time)?

    Y at - it an update of the firmware fix fo preparation menus speed or one of these superior facts?

    Thanks ;)

    Hello

    .msi is simply microsoft program so if you have windows, means that you can run it... ;) I had the same problem too, but it turns out that it was caused by my graphics driver... I have nvidia and its recent update supported not only such things... I had to reinstall the whole system and now it works again (that I na not reinstall just cos of visualizations) but try to reinstall your graphics card driver... hope that helps... :-) or you can even try the opposite... uninstall the current driver and run the older again, might help, but will prevent probably other programs functions...:-/ then make the choice... :) but I can confirm that psychedelia skins are pretty cool... ;)

  • Ignores files Windows Media Player 11

    Original title: Windows Media Player 11, XP OS

    Some files do not play for a second in windows media player a will to the next song. Same file plays fine on other media players (Zune). Its not all the songs are just a couple so far. I run XP always. Any idea what can be the cause?

    Updated, uninstalled WMP & reinstalled.  Without major changes to the system, however it is old... It was only some files (about 5), others have played very well without any problems.  All files read correctly in Zune.

    The one thing, I tried and seems to have worked is the mp3, I added drop her off at my conversion software and convtered to an mp3 player.  Seems to be an error in the file and not WMP.

    Fixed for now...
