  I use windows XP and media player 11 version, when I try to play a video clip is said "Windows media player cannot find the file '

  Hello daninwyo, welcome.

  FLV (Flash content), which is based on the web, is not supported in Windows Media Player. You have to find a third party codec package that supports flash or try a different media player on the internet.

• How to play .asx files in Windows Media Player

  original title; Can I play a video file of .asx with WMP? or if not, how to play with this extension .asx files?

  Can I play a video file of .asx with WMP? or if not, how to play with this extension .asx files?

  When I try to play the file, WMP shows error then update says "video codec".

  How then can I get this update for the video codec?

  Thank you, Michael Phelps 907

  Hi Mike,.

  an .asx file is not a media file. It is a file that contains a pointer to a content online. So if you are unable to read a .asx file and are able to play other files using Windows Media Player so the best thing is to open the .asx, a Notepad file. When you open the .asx using Notepad, you will see a link that starts by http: and so on. Please copy this link and go to Windows Media Player. On the Windows Media Player window, press the Alt key on the keyboard and click file and Open url. Paste the link and check if Windows Media Player is able to open the link. If she opens the link this is a problem with the formatting of the .asx file and if it does not open the link then it is a problem with the server online of the .asx file. It could be that it is deleted from the server.

  Hope this information helps. Keep us informed on the status of the issue.

• After the upgrade to 2 TB HDD, I am unable to play. AVI in Windows Media Player files

  I used a program called BandiCam save games/windows on my Windows 7 computer. I recently upgraded to a 2 TB HARD drive and transferred all my files to the new disk. None of the Windows files were transferred by my request and now Windows Media Player cannot read the. BandiCam AVI files. I've read that it could be the Codecs of compression used by Bandicam however until I transferred all my files he was running fine records. I tested on my laptop with the same file, and it worked fine as well. Is there a debug/repair for Windows Media Player program? Or could I just re - install completely?

  Hello

  Welcome to the community forums of Microsoft and thanks for posting the question. I've surely you will help find a solution on the issue.

  1. what happens when you tried to read the files using Windows Media Player?

  2. do you receive any error messages?

  3 have you tried reinstalling the Bandi-cam program after upgrade to the hard drive?

  Method 1:

  Try to uninstall and reinstall the Bandi-cam program and check with the question.

  Method 2:

  To resolve this problem, you can try to install Audio codec and check if the problem persists.

  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 the default Windows Media Audio 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 codec Windows Media Audio to decompress the file for music can be played through your speakers.

  Codecs: Frequently asked questions

• Play AIFF files in windows media player

  Hello

  I'm reading some AIFF files in windows media player. I get the error message "Windows media player cannot play the file. The player might not support the file type or does not support the codec used to compress the file."

  As WMP supports AIFF files I guess it's a problem with the codec.

  Is there a solution out there that I can play the files?

  Cheers, Matt.

  Where are the files? Are you sure that they are in the AIFF format?

  You can try to install FFDShow . If this does not help, please open some of the files in GSpot , this program will signal the audio codec used in the file. Then, you can report this codec here.
