  • 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.
