• Windows Media Player does not support the codec used to compress the file.

  I can't do some of my videos to play it goes on to say that Windows media player does not support the codec used to compress the file. How can I fix?

  Hello

  What is the file format of the video files you are trying to play in Windows Media Player?

  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.

   

  You may encounter this error message for the following reasons:

  (a) the file type is supported by the drive, but the file was compressed by using a codec that is not supported by the player.

  (b) the file might have been encoded with a codec that is not supported by Windows Media Player. If this is the case, Windows Media Player cannot play the file.

  Windows media player will play only the files and videos only if it supports this type of file.

  Please see the bottom of the article that gives you information on the types of media files that supports Windows Media Player.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/316992

  If the files are not supported by Windows media player, then you will need to use a few players from third party that supports this file format.

  WARNING OF THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE

  Using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

• New version of Windows Media Player does not support extracting mp3... suggestions?

  My home computer has crashed and had to be rebuilt with the new operating system.  So I got the machine back with what I assume is a newer version of Windows XP.  New but, as usual with MicroSofty, not improved.  Now they apparenty realize that they make any money of format mp3 and everything just stopped supporting.  (imagine if Nikon stopped supporting jpeg format?  ) They try to convince you how fantastic their new WMA file format is and do you want to hunt for a bolt on app which will tear actually mp3.  And where they send that you do have an app to do what I can see.

  I installed lame, but which does not allow mp3 rips.

  Any suggestions?

  There was once a version where you had to manually install the codec BLADE. I thought it was a LONG time there, but maybe he was 10?

  No matter, 11 > 10. Already install and arrive at tear.

  Original title: cannot get audio from video .3g2 (Windows 7)

  I have a number of videos that were recorded on a Motorola phone to format .3g2, when I played against them in windows XP Pro using what was the most recent media player, they played very well and the audio was present.

  I've since upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate and have found that videos will play with media player sound is not output.

  I tried different players like VLC (same result, no sound) and came across one called SUPER from erightsoft which indeed works and allows me to re - encode to .wmv BUT when I do and you try to read the .wmv I encounter an error:
