using media player to run video files of my cam corder

I transferred a few videos from my video camera in my pictures folder. But I was not able to view using media player.

What is the (extension) format of video files?

For example, if the extension is. VOB or. MOD...
try renaming to. MPG and see if Windows Media
Reader can read the files.

    If you have a music video, your friends sing you could install a flash drive on the Web site. If it is just an audio file, you must download the file to a file free host then post a link to the file on the Web site.  If Windows Media Player comes into play depends on what media player the person clicking the link used as their default media player. Windows Media Player will play no role in the file on your website. The link below contains a list of free audio files, hosting sites. There are many others that you can find with a simple search on Google.

  • Can Windows Media Player XP play MTS file type? I tried, but the video does not play smoothly. Is this fix really?

    I tried, but the video does not play smoothly.  Is this fix really?

    There is a possibility that Windows Media Player could
    read the file if you rename the MTS to MPG or AVI.

    And/or...the suite of freeware Media Player can be
    worth a try.

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

    (works on XP/Vista/7)
    (The name of the file to download is: "MPC - HomeCinema.1.5.2.3456.x 86 .exe ')

    If this fails, it may be worth trying to convert the MTS file
    WMV format:

    There are many converters available on the net... some
    free... some detail.

    The following freeware converters are a few examples:

    (1) Sothink Free Video Converter
    http://www.Sothinkmedia.com/video-converter/
    (Windows XP / Vista / 7)

    You will need to unzip the file... or you could just drag
    the Setup.exe from the file out of the folder and drop it on your
    desktop and install from there.

    Once installed... Open Sothink and go to... Add the files button...
    Find and select the clips you want to convert.

    Next... in the encoding settings... Choose... Video credits.
    WMV - Windows Media Video (*.wmv).

    Choose an output folder and on the left, click on the button convert.

    You can experiment with other settings later but
    This should help you get started.

    First, you will need to decompress the file or just open the
    Drag FFSetup270.exe out of the folder

  • Error "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' when try to play wav or midi files.

    Original title: WMP "can't play wav or midi.

    Using WMP 11 on Windows XP SP3.

    Windows Media Player has somehow forgotten how to play wav or midi files. Doubleclicking either of these file types give an error "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. " There is a button 'Close' and 'Web Help' which still informs me, "you met the C00D1199 error message... ". ». Following the advice given nothing less than useful.

    I can easily play these files with RealPlayer or VLC so I don't think it's a driver problem, and it wasn't a corruption right after installing the other players. WMP seems to work OK when playing music or AVI. And there is no harm to hear a sound (wav or midi) in Windows for various system events. Have already uninstalled/reinstalled WMP without result.

    Thanks for your reply.

    I have since determeined the problem comes from an updated codec package I installed a few weeks ago. These codecs were from Shark007 which I believe is a Microsoft MVP. Use the codecs from this site for a number of years without any problems so I did not initially suspect it was the source of the problem. I uninstalled the codec pack and installed K-light package and everything seems to be Ok now. Now, I'll be in contact with the members of this forum.

    My question is actually very specific: when I keyin track using Media Player Info, is this info inserted in the file itself, or only in the index of Media Player? If I have to rebuild the indexes in the metadata file, the indexed fields are kept in?

    Only in the index of Media Player.  If you remove this file WMP (without actually deleting the computer/folder) and then read the file again, you would see that your changes have disappeared.

    To actually change the file, you will need a program known as ID3 Tag Editor.
