  You know quite well by asking or by downloading a local copy and these hosting or those who created the video by checking with something like gspot.
   
  Or - you could give a link to the video and someone could check.
   
  You have the standard Internet Plug-ins installed?  Adobe Flash Player?  Microsoft SilverLight?  Apple QuickTime?

• Media Player cannot play, need to video codec not installed. What codec? Where do I get it? How to install it?

  Media Player cannot play, need to video codec not installed.  What codec?  Where do I get it? How to install it?

  Hello
   
   
  
  The video codec that is required to decode and display the video can not be installed on your computer.
  
  Today, there are hundreds of audio and video codecs in use. Some were created by Microsoft, but the vast majority of codecs have been created by other companies, organizations or individuals. By default, the Windows operating system and the player includes a number of the most popular codecs, such as MP3, Windows Media Audio and Windows Media Video.
   
  
  Method 1.
  How to determine what codec is installed and how to install it automatically?
  a. to determine what codec was used with a specific file, play the file in the player, if possible. When the file is playing, right-click the file in the library, and then click Properties.
  b. on the file tab, look at the sections of video codec and Audio codec.
  Download and install the Codecs by going to the PLAYER tab and check.
  c. connect you to the Internet and Download Codecs automatically.
  For more information about codecs, see the articles below:
  Codecs: Frequently asked questions
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/codecs-frequently-asked-questions
  
  Method 2.
  If you know the name of the codec or its ID (called a id FourCC for video codecs or a WaveFormat identifier for audio codecs), try the search on the Internet. Often, you can go to the codec manufacturer's Web site to download the latest version of a codec.

• Update the video Codec - Windows 7

  I have windows 7 and you must update video codecs, specifically WMVideo Decoder DMO, version 6.3.9600.17238

  I currently have version 6.1.7601.18221. According to me, the filmmaker uses this codec to encode the videos that I do. I think this codec is making my videos much darker, so they should be.

  Where can I download these codecs?

  Hello

  I am unable to play the video file and get the error "Windows Media Player cannot play the file because the required video codec is not installed on your computer."

  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.

  Welcome to the Microsoft Community forums.

  I understand that you are not able to play a Webinar on the windows computer using Windows Media Player 8.

  I would be grateful if you can provide us with the following information to help us better understand the issue.

  1 you get an error code or the name of the codec to install?

  2. are you able to play other files with Windows media player?

  3. What are the file format of the multimedia files that you are not able to play using Windows media player?

  4. are you referring to the video file saved using Webinar?

  This problem is caused if the file format is not supported by windows media player.

• Not compatible Video Codec found in the preset. Failed to load predefined.

  Not compatible Video Codec found in the preset. Failed to load predefined. ~ ~ I get this error during the conversion and the Mp4 file to a MOV in Adobe Media Encoder, lately.  Rendering of files to MOV to Mp4 format before and not had a problem in Media Encoder. How can I fix it?

  Please make sure you have QuickTime player installed.  Without it, H.264 codec is not available.

  If you have already installed QuickTime player, please try to uninstall and reinstall it.

• Incompatible video codec

  I'm new to video - just started studying 3 weeks ago.  I downloaded the trial version of Premiere Pro to determine if it is the video editing software that I wish to buy.  However, I'm so frustrated!  When I went to export my first video to QuickTime using the preset 'PAL H.264 AAC 48 kHz' (for the purposes of the assignment) it comes up with an error "Incompatible video Codec found in the present. Preset failed. "After trying all the presets, it seems all five H.264 presets have this same error message.  I tried Googling solutions online, and it seems that many people have had this problem but I can't seem to find a solution.  I'm under Windows8, and a forum suggested to install the latest version of Quicktime, but made no difference.  I wonder if there is a problem with the trial version but don't want to buy the product if I'm still having these issues.  Help... my missions are now two weeks late and my host is a loss as well!

  I'm on Win7 Ultimate and H.264 & Qt codecs all run beautifully. Something happens, it happens rarely but happens. Wish my brain cells had all this in mind, but Ann or someone should pop in & help on this. There are a lot of people who run all the similar and 264/Qt codecs. did you check the video codec pack Microsoft Windows itself? I know a few people who downloaded and have been up & running.
