Sound with no video in Windows Media Player or any other software I've tried.

I have no video when I play all the files on my computer no matter what program I use. I updated my driver for video card, re-installed the software. Verified that both we are up-to-date. The files are files simple .wmv and .mpg. They have worked in the past but now when I pull it up its just audio. The box of the video Viewer will be resized according to the picture, but there is no picture. I am a computer technician, and which left me speechless. Can someone help me or point me in the right direction please!

Looks like you have corrupted codecs on your computer. You may need to reinstall or re-register the codecs so Windows to recognize them again. Here is a longer version of this explanation on what to do if you have the sound but no video in Windows Media Player.

  • AVI video files play sound but no video in Windows Media Player 7

    My video files avi play sound but no video in Windows Media Player 7. Video files avi are since 2002 and has played very well until I'm a new PC with Windows 7 so I know that the files are not corrupt. All my other files and videos play fine in Media Player. I checked online and seen the posts in other forums on the codecs being the problem. Does anyone know how to fix this? Based on the other forums I found it seems that it is not uncommon that a problem with Win7.

    Also, is it possible to convert audio and video files in different formats with Media Player? Or do I need any other software to do this?

    It is not that there is a problem in Windows 7, it is more likely that you don't have just the installed CODEC the video file is saved with.  You will need to find a source, download and install any CODEC no MS yourself. You can use GSpot to identify CODECs used in AVI files. An alternative to downloading of many individual CODECs is to install FFDSHOW instead. Some media players like VLC and Media Player Classic also have internal CODECS and support for a wide variety of video and audio file types.

    =========================================
    Windows Media Player cannot shoot a video...

    If your video is compatible with Windows Movie Maker...
    Open the video clip in Windows Movie Maker, drag it to the
    Timeline... and go to the... Video effects / rotate.

    Drag the correct effect (rotation 90) and drop it on the timeline.

    Once the file is gone... you will need to save it under a different name...

  • No video is coming, but only sound, when I play in windows Media Player 11, os is xp

    No video is coming, but only sound, when I play in windows Media Player 11, os is xp

    Hi james_pl1973,
     
    -Is this type of specific file to some issue or is it the same with all types of files?
    -You get an error message or error code trying to watch the video for files?

    It is likely that the codec is correct / encoder is not installed or is installed but has been corrupted by another program.

    A codec is a software to compress or decompress a digital media file, such as a song or a video. Windows Media Player and other programs use codecs to play and create digital media files.

    A codec can consist of two components: an encoder and a decoder. The encoder performs the compression function (coding) and the decoder performs the decompression function (decoding). Some codecs include both components and some codecs only one of them.

    For example, when you rip a song from an audio CD on your computer, the player uses Windows Media Audio default codec to compress the song into a compact WMA file. When you play that WMA file (or any WMA file that may be broadcast from a Web site), the player uses the Windows Media Audio codec to decompress the file for music can be played through your speakers.

    Follow the steps listed in the article given below to resolve this issue.

    You receive a codec error message or play audio but video does not play when you play media files in Windows Media Player 11

  • I have just a white screen with complete audio on Windows Media Player.

    Original title: sound, no video

    I ordered a series of dog training DVD.  When I went to download the premiera and play via Windows Media Player, I have audio, but the captain was missing, just a screen dance of psychedelic images.  I've screwed around a bit and go get rid of it, but now I just have a white screen with complete audio.

    Thinking I need a plug in I released on bail and downloaded the same clip on my laptop. Same thing, only it started with a white screen.  I doubt that this is a problem with the link, but he has seen it happen on 2 different puters a wonder.  I am running Vista on my desk, I think it is XP on the laptop.

  • Cannot play MPEG-4 video in Windows Media Player or Media Center from my Flip Video Camcorder

    I use Win 7 with Windows Media Player 12 and when I try to play a Flip Video camcorder, which is an MPEG-4 format, I get the error "Windows Media Player has encountered a problem while playing the file."

    I then help the option to select Web and it takes me a Microsoft page that describes the C00D11B1 error code.  Who has no sense to me because it speaks to my sound card and I can't read thie videos no problem via the Flip Video software supplied with the camcorder.

    I was under the impression that WMP 12 taken supported MPEG-4.  Also get the Error tyring to play videos through Media Center.   Any help is greatly appreciated.

    I use Win 7 7600 version 6.1

    I guess that the Flip Video software used a codec that is not Media Player. I was looking at the setting for the camera to see if it will save in another format.

    I tried to convert videos using the converter from DVDVideosoft video I received a message that says ATI video card drivers are outdated. I tried to download and install the latest drivers and I got the blue screen of death. When I rebooted the computer tried to play a video that was recorded using FRAPS on WMP, all I saw is not a background image of an eighth. The sound played end.

The player might not support the file type or does not support the codec used to compress the file. "I tried to restore the computer to an earlier time, but that did not work.
