Unable to play wmv attachments only get XP Media Player 11 audio system Details

I rebooted Media Player 11 to ensure that all codecs are correct, but still only get audio, no video when I play mail electronic wmv attachments! Any help on this please?

Hello

First download the attachment file and save it to the desktop. Open the downloaded file and check if he plays well.

Windows Media Player 11 supports the .wmv file format. If you are not able to play the .wmv file, then the chances of file corruption is possible.

To check the cross, try to play the same file using any other media player.

If you are able to play the file with another player, then download and install the codecs and check the result.

    I put t know why this happens but the fact is that these buttons work only with Windows Media Player and not with other players such as WinAMP, etc..

    If you have several problems with them, I recommend to install the package of added value of the official website of Toshiba.

  • Unable to read the .avi files with Windows Media Player 11 on XP

    Original title: Media player upgrade was worse than basic
    I recently updated my Player multimedia media Player 11 and now it won't play movies from AVI file that I used to be able to play easily on the outdated version. Why is this?

    Hello

    Do you have an error message when you try to play with Media Player AVI files?

    When you try to play a file that uses a codec that is not installed on your computer, Windows Media Player attempts to download the codec from a Microsoft server. If the
    Codec is available, the Windows Media Player installed on your computer, and then bed file. However, if the codec is not available on the server (for example, because)
    the codec not created by Microsoft), Windows Media Player displays a message that your computer is missing a codec.

    In some cases, the file you want to play uses a codec that is not available or compatible with Windows Media Player. When this happens, you may be unable to use Windows Media Player to play this particular .avi file.

  • Error when trying to play file type flv on Windows media player

    When you try to play a file (.flv) on Windows Media Player, it invites the selected file with an extension (.flv) of the type of file that is not recognized. Then asks me if I want to play the file. When I click Yes, an error box pops up saying: file type or the codec may not be recognized by the reader. Any solution please?

    No.... the commercial full version of Expression Encoder 4
    is not necessary.

    When the. FLV files were not included in the folder...
    you open the window of the drop and select "All Files"?

    If you have no success with Expression Encoder 4...
    the following freeware can be worth a try:

    There are many converters available on the net... the
    the following link is an example:

    (FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)
    Restore point before installing software or updates)

    (1) format Factory (freeware)
    http://www.videohelp.com/tools/Format_Factory
    (the 'direct link' is faster)
    (the file you want to download is: > FFSetup280.zip<>
    (FWIW... installation..., you can uncheck
    ('all' boxes on the last screen)
    (Windows XP / Vista / 7)

    First... after the download and installation of Format
    Factory... you can open the program and
    left click on the toolbar, the "Option" button and
    "Select an output folder to" / apply / OK.
    (this is where you find your files after they)
    are converted)

    Drag and drop your video files on the main screen...

    Select "all to WMV" / OK...

    Click on... Beginning... in the toolbar...

    That should do it...

    Good luck...

    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.

  • Toshiba 50L7335DF: problems to play 1080 p mkv files using media player

    Hello

    _The facts_
    I have problems to read files mkv (H264, AC3 5.1) 1080 p via the media player on a USB drive (USB is formatted NTFS)

    The video begins and is OK for a few seconds/minutes, and then it becomes jerky.
    (the subtitles were on)

    I also found that the menus are generally very slow on this TV...

    I also had some problems with subtitles:
    -they were not displayed on a single video (tested OK with VLC on my laptop ubuntu)
    - and on the other, they showed too fast, I want to say it have been synchronized, but they disappeared fast after displayed.
    -one this second video, I got a few square character displayed at the beginning of some lines (maybe an encoding problem, I'll try to understand by myself)
    - And finally, the submarines are truncated at the beginning and at the end of some very long sentences on a single line.

    _So questions: _
    -Is powerful enough to manage movies mkv 1080 p TV?
    N ' matter what official NTFS support soon? (and don't tell me to FAT32... I know that the limitation of 4 GB, which is sad on 1080 p HD mkv...)
    -No recommendation for the encoding format presentations?
    -How to solve garbled subtitles?
    -There's a subtitle settings (font, size, duration, time)?

    Y at - it an update of the firmware fix fo preparation menus speed or one of these superior facts?

    Thanks ;)

    Try to make the subtitles is UTF-8.
    You can use the editor like notepad ++ to choose the option to convert it to UTF-8 format.

  • Re: Qosmio F60 - how to make the volume buttons to only work with Media Player?

    Hello.

    I was wondering if I could make the Volume up and Volume down button keys compatible with my AIMP3 Media Player software.

    I tried to press on them, only to realize the right controls the overall volume of Windows.
    I tried the assignment of the keys to the keyboard shortcut list in the software. But he continued to play with the volume of Windows.

    No idea how to fix this to make it work with my Player volume only?

    My OS is Windows 7 64 bit

    Thanks in advance.

    > No idea how to fix this to make it work with my Player volume only?
    AFAIK you cannot fix it. These buttons are for the Windows level volume only.
    But I don't see why it is so important. Set the volume level in WMP to the maximum level and simply change the level of Windows. In General, the result is the same. Or not?
