    I am unable to play the video file and get the error "Windows Media Player cannot play the file because the required video codec is not installed on your computer."

    Can someone help me how to solve this problem. Thank you

    May be that the video file format is not compatible with Windows Media Player.

    Options: -.

    1] download and install VLC Player. It's free and supports file formats more than WMP.

    2] download and install the codecs

    Personally, I prefer VLC Player-if you have that then not need to download and install the codec of any third party.

    Hello

    Welcome to the Microsoft Community forums.

    I understand that you are not able to play a Webinar on the windows computer using Windows Media Player 8.

    I would be grateful if you can provide us with the following information to help us better understand the issue.

    1 you get an error code or the name of the codec to install?

    2. are you able to play other files with Windows media player?

    3. What are the file format of the multimedia files that you are not able to play using Windows media player?

    4. are you referring to the video file saved using Webinar?

    This problem is caused if the file format is not supported by windows media player.

    Codec compresses or decompresses media files. Windows media player uses codecs to play and create media files.

    See the link below for the types of files supported by windows media player.

    https://support.Microsoft.com/kb/316992?WA=wsignin1.0

    You can also refer to a link to find out what codecs are installed on your computer.

    Windows 7 and WMP 12 don't play many types of files in the box, you need additional configuration. :(

    Attention if you got this message to a folder ".wmv", which should impose no extra codec (coder-decoder), this type of codec will probably install viruses on your computer. You can see the file extension in Windows Explorer or in the name of the file if you have configured via the "Tools |" Folder options | View menu"to do so, or in the Details view, the 'Type' column should display something like"File WMV", or in this case,"the Windows Media audio/video file.

    If it's a real file, for example a Flash (".flv"), ".mkv" file or a DVD Blu - Ray, you have to play on a third party such as VLC Player, or download the appropriate codec. There are a bunch of them packed in a secure facility on shark007 (dot) net and the Blu - Ray, probably your computer comes with a DVD playing software that should do the trick, although the codec that comes with it is not compatible with WMP.

  • Corrupted media usage rights

    A few days ago I upgraded my AMD processor with an Intel processor and since then, when I try to play already bought videos, I get the following message: "your media usage rights were corrupted or are no longer valid. This can happen if you have replaced hardware components in your computer. "Prior to the upgrade, the videos has worked well.  When I try to find a solution to this problem via the Internet, I get referred to as DRM and when I try to find DRM in the registry, cannot open the file so I can delete it (if recommended).  Any help would be appreciated.

    I use Windows Vista x 64 with an Intel Core Duo CPU 3.0.

    Hi Dennis1825,

    Thank you for using answers Forum.

    You will probably have to visit the Web site that was purchased to update DRM information for the file.

    Please let us know if that helps.

  • Windows Media Player error message says that I don't have the media usage rights acquisition.

    Original title: Windows Media Player

    Am not able to play music in Windows Media Player to the library after the transfer of music from another computer.  Error message says that I don't have the media usage rights acquisition.

    Hello

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community and we give the opportunity to help you.

    Cause of the error:

    Windows Media Player uses Microsoft Digital Rights Management (DRM) to protect the rights of content owners who protect their music or video products in this manner. You must have usage rights required to play, burn, or sync protected content.

     

    How to upgrade the DRM license?

    By default, Windows Media Player will automatically attempt to acquire the rights of use in silence unless the server requires some input on your part (for example, registration or tax information). You can disable the automatic rights acquisition. In this case, you will be asked to obtain the rights for any new content that requires them. To prevent Windows Media Player from acquiring rights automatically, do the following:

    a. click on the arrow on the now playing tab, and then click Other Options.

    b. click on the Privacy tab, and clear the automatically check if protected files need to be refreshed check.

    Please note that this setting affects not acquisition of rights of use of online stores.
