• No reading DVD with Windows Media Player

  WMA crashed

  I used to use Nero on my old computer. I built a new computer and bought Vista and liked the use of Nero I installed it on Vista. During the installation it windows warned me that there is perhaps a conflict if I installed it. I went a head with him and of course, there was and nero would not work. I tried to uninstall it and was able to complete the removal of the program, because it has a conflict and stops. At this stage the WMP always worked very well. Recently, I installed a DIVX player... not by choice... I wasn't thjought I DL update or something, not a media player and pay any attention to any. So I removed the player and now I can't watch a DVD in my media player more. He tells me that windows media player has stopped working. I send the reports to help set and have nothing in return as in to solve the problem

  What are my options? Thank you!

• Unspecified error when burning DVDs with windows media player DVD is empty when starting get coded, then when control burn error occurs and does not burn the disk. How to fix this?

  I get an error when I burn DVDs with windows media player. He asked correctly when I lad the DVDs that I choose to burn a dvd disc. Then I add my video fles she adds and lists. Then I hit burn and it starts to create the dvd disc. All my files are wmv files. The bar regarding % moves to 100% but captured along with burning the disc, he rejected and I get an unspecified error message. with just a button to hit, which will close the error box. The files don't burn the disk accordingly. The disc remains empty.

  Hi N2tjq,

  Are a. When you facing this problem?

  B. is - what happens with all DVDs?

  C. recent changes made on the computer?

  I firstly you suggests to save the project to your computer, and then try to burn on a DVD at a slower burning speed.

  Choose a speed slower burn to your DVD recorder as follows:

  1 back to adding photos and video to the DVD page and then click on Options.
  2. in the DVD burner speed box, select medium or slow.

• I can't play DVDs in Windows Media Player 12 on Windows 7 Pro and get this error msg: Windows Media Player cannot play this DVD because there is a problem with the digital copy between your DVD drive decoder and video card protection.

  Hello, thanks for reading and helping me.

  I try to play a legitimate, belonging to DVD, but Windows Media Player 12 will not play on my computer Windows 7 Professional.  The DVD worked a few days ago, but all of a sudden, I get the following error message:

  "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.

  I did a lot of research of these forums and on the ' net.  Here are the suggested steps I tried without success:

  • I tried VLC player.  This works.  However, rather than use this workaround, I wish to find a solution to my problem WMP/WMC.
  • I tried several DVD for years over the last decade.  These DVD works on my laptop, also running Windows 7 Professional and the shark 007 codec.
  • I uninstalled my Shark 007 codec
  • I tried other codecs (K-Lite)
  • I assured that the latest drivers are installed on my video card, XFX ATI Radeon 5850
  • I tried to uninstall Nero 9
  • I tried to use the Windows 7 troubleshooting options:
  • > Reading and burning CD, DVD and Blu - ray (no problem)
  • > Windows Media Player DVD (no problem)
  • > Windows Media Player Settings (detects a problem, wants to restore factory settings, every time, no matter what happens)
  • A system restore to a time when the DVD was working did not resolve the issue
  • The different links in Microsoft, I found in this forum about this problem do not seem to be useful.  There is a link that points to the set-top boxes, but this page just says: "Windows 7 comes with a decoder.
  • I assured the latest driver is available by going to "Device Manager", right click on the drive, then click on "update driver software".
  • I assured that the latest firmware is installed directly from the manufacturer's website.
  • I tried to reset my DRM by renaming the DRM under C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows folder and by going to this Web site to upgrade:http://drmlicense.one.microsoft.com/Indivsite/en/indivit.asp?force=1
  • I've uninstalled and reinstalled Windows Media Player 12 and Windows Media Center via the function "functionality in Windows.

  I would be very grateful if a Microsoft technology could chime.  Thanks for your help!

• What is the best suond of quality I can rip a cd with windows media player, which can be read by itunes

  I'm putting my windows media files in iTunes to play on a stereo system.

  I am after the best quality possible and do not want to be caught in the trap in appleworld but there is very little ipnut devices that support what anyone else than apple.

  I also have a Samsing Galaxy SII I want to play music.

  I, therefore, plucked a few CD in windows media player using WAV (lossless) format.

  When I try to add a folder to library in itunes songs appear under unknown artist and I can't recognize the format.

  Anyone know what is the best quality download I can do which can be dealt with by media player AND iTunes?

  Thank you very much.

  John

  Why use iTunes AND WMP AND a Galaxy? Use one of them.

  The reason for which you you hide it all under "Unknown", this is that wav files are not encrypted when you ripped them. You must add the titles to the hand. However, your Galaxy will not be able to read them.

  You could rip as mp3 at a rate of 320 files - negligible loss of sound quality at a high rate, or as a file flac.

  You can use a codec for WMP for files flac and I don't know if iTunes can read - I never use it for reading. Check the plug on the Apple site. Yet once, however, the Galaxy cannot.

  However, they can read mp3 files, as can your Galaxy (I have a). To transfer files to the Galaxy its recommended to use Kies software (available on Samsung website)...

  If you were to use a program like AudioGrabber (Google for it, its freeware) coupled with the Lame codec (follow the links on the site of AudioGrabber) then you can rip from CD directly to mp3 at a rate of 320 that WMP + iTunes + your Galaxy can read.

  Hope that waffle above is clear,

  See you soon,.

• Libretto U100: Screen short film playing with Express Media Player

  Hello.

  I have a Toshiba Libretto U100 with DVD Dock, and when I use Express Media Player to play the DVD, the image on the screen is too small. I find the way to play in full screen mode but I failed.

  Now the questions.

  It is there a way to switch to full screen mode? If so, please detail.

  If this is not possible with the included version, there is a new version or an update that will be available with this feature? where can I get (if it's free) or buy (if this isn't the case) it?

  Thanks in advance and best regards. Your help would be very appreciated.

  Pleasant :D Watch movies on booklet can you recognize anything? ;)

  I put t know if it is possible to do so in the Media Express drive s

  But if you come in on the edges of the annoying screen then I have a solution:
  Go to-> graphics controller Intel Control Panel and select the option called mode full screen (without borders)

  Best regards

• Where can I get disk download Express Media Player Boot?

  Only I have reformat my hard drive on my M55 S3291, when I bought this M55 it does not come with the Express Media Player Boot disk since I didn't buy no official distributor. is there a way where I can download/limewire or a copy of it. Thank you.

  The media Express with that Player was delivered selected laptops.
  I don't know if the EMP has been delivered with this laptop because it seems that it is an American unit.
  However, the fact is that you can't download the Express Media Player from the website. It is perhaps possible to get this program to the Toshiba service partner.

• Where can I get directions to EXTRACT only the audio of a DVD with Windows Media Player v11

  Have investigated this question on the NET and seen various solutions (freeware), but I have just started using WMP to migrate my CD music in MP3 format.

  I have some great DVD rip also I want. Any direction is appreciated!

  Hi PEL7176,

  Windows media player only supports the extraction of CD and DVD not.

  You may need to use a third-party software to perform this procedure.

  NOTE: Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be resolved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

• Can't burn CDs with Windows Media Player

  Hello

  I have problems with CD burning on my computer satellite phone. Had the laptop for a few months and have had no problems. However only found an extra software with the DVD drivers CD so downloaded it - big mistake!

  I had to restore in settings a few weeks that I could not delete the programs. That s all is well now, but since I was unable to burn CDs in Windows Media Player. I click on "burn" and nothing happens, and the right side says CD has nothing on the subject (it s a blank CD).
  All tried and checked my settings, etc, can't think of what it could be.

  Does anyone have any suggestions? I would be grateful for any help.
  Thank you

  an Image of the DVD then you burn the image on
  your drafts of DVD.

  If this is 'not' a commercial - protected against copying DVD...
  the following freeware can create an ISO Image
  that allows to burn copies.

  FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system

  (The download is: SetupImgBurn_2.5.5.0.exe)

  (During the installation there will be an option to install
  Shortcuts of UniBlue and the "Ask Toolbar"... you can
  you want to deselect those)

  ====================================
  There are several types of AVI files, and they can
  be problematic. Maybe the info would be
  be interesting reading... good luck.

  If you want to just put your video on a DVD for
  for archival purposes, you would create a data DVD.

  See the following article:

  Windows 7 - burn a CD or DVD in Windows Explorer
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/burn-a-CD-or-DVD-in-Windows-Explorer
  (See "to burn a disc using the ISO image format")

  To create a video DVD (which will play in)
  a free-standing DVD player)... you need DVD
  Software authoring as Windows DVD Maker.

  See the following articles:

  Windows 7 - burn a video DVD with Windows DVD Maker disc
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/burn-a-DVD-video-disc-with-Windows-DVD-Maker

  If you still have problems, the AVI may need to
  be converted to WMV format before burning.

  There are to many converters available on the net...
  some free, some details... the following freeware is
  just an example:

  (FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)

  Freemake Free Video Converter (freeware)

  may be a few items you want to unmark *)

  When you have installed Freemake... Open Freemake
  and drag and drop your video files on the main screen.

  Or... Click left on the video button and navigate to the
  your video files are saved in the folder.

  Select (highlight) the files you want to import into
  Freemake and left, click on the button 'open '.

  When video files are imported into Freemake,
  On the left, click the WMV icon at the bottom of the screen.

  The 'WMV output settings' screen opens.

  Choose a folder ' save in ', so you can find the
  converted files.

  On the left, click the "Convert" button and wait for the files
  to convert.

  That should do it...

• Try burning your own movies on a DVD with Windows Media Player... Help, please

  I created a video in movie maker.  He recorded as a MP4 video that is 4.25 GB. The film is less than 30 minutes.  I'm trying to burn to a DVD + R that says it holds 8.5 GB / 240 minutes using Windows Media Player.  It is said that my file is too large to fit on the disk.  I don't understand why.  Help, please.

  I have seen other issues similar to mine where people suggested other software download burning DVDs.  If that's what I do, I'll do it.  However, I also know WHY the windows media player tells me that my file is too large because when I look at the numbers, it seems that it is NOT.  It seems that windows media player should be able to accomplish this simple task that I have to look for other software to download and learn.

  Thanks again!

  Windows Media Player can only burn files to DVD as data disc burning, the disc is not compatible with the DVD player. You can consult this guide, this is how burn mp4 movie to DVD, hope this helps you.

• 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.
