Unable to show a WMV file, because Windows 7 does not support the G2M4 codec

I use windows 7 and I got a file wmv of my employer.  When I try to see I hear it but I can't.  The message I get is:

"No decoder module appropriate:

VLC does not support the audio or video format "G2M4". Unfortunately it is impossible for you to solve this problem. »

Try to open in Windows Media Player and get this message "Windows Media Center cannot play the file because the required video codec is not installed on your computer."

Tried to download the current codec installation package and I got the message "the program is blocked due to compatibility issues".

Run the fixit from Microsoft to search for any missing codec and the report that came back that no codec is missing.

Please tell me there is a way that this can be corrected.

It might be worth a try to re - encode the. WMV file.

In many cases, I found that convert a. WMV file
to the. WMV format could produce a new version of the
compatible file. Sounds redundant, I know, but it
can work.

Microsoft Expression Encoder 4 can perform the conversion.

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

Download Microsoft Expression Encoder 4 with Service Pack 1 (SP1) (freeware)

If you want to try Expression Encoder 4 following
info can be useful:

Start Microsoft Expression Encoder 4
(Start / programs / Microsoft Expression /)
Microsoft Expression Encoder 4)

On the "Load a new project" screen...
Left click... "Transcoding project '...

When the program opens, click on... File / import...

Left click (highlight) the. Left and WMV file, click the Open button.

You will see the file in the "Multimedia content" pane

In the right column... left click on the tab "Output"...

Open the drop directory window and choose an output folder.
(This is where you will find your converted file)

On the left, click on the button "encode".

Wait... video encoding CPU intensive and can
be a slow process. It is always best if you do not have
multi-task while files are encoded.
