Vista will not play the video portion of my avi files

I have a ton of my Canon camera avi files. Windows Media Player does not display video (Vista or XP), but the sound is very good. I can't play using Real Player on a XP machine. Real Player on Vista will not display the video either.

No guarantee... but it may be worth trying to download
and install the following free codec pack:

FWIW... it is always preferable, if you create a system restore
point before installing any software or updates.

    You probably do not have the adequate software. This isn't for lack of the drive if you don't have the appropriate software that can open DVD movies. In my view, that the latest version of Windows Media Player has this ability. Try WMP and open the DVD player.

  • Why first will not play the timeline

    First suddenly stopped play my video in the timeline and source monitors. It will rub and even render and export, but will not play the video within the first. It was working fine 2 weeks ago. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the program, the removal of all preference files, turning off all but the necessary fonts and it still won't play. When I created a new user account, it works fine. I work with an old MacPro Tower (1,1), Mac OS 10.7, with 20 GB or Ram and files are accessible from an internal 2 TB raid array.

  • Flash will not play some videos (under vista only!)

    Hello I am puzzled that flash will not play some videos

    (for example from dailymotion.com or canalplus.fr).

    The problem exists with the current version (10,3 r183)

    But if I try to downgrade or with v11 beta...

    On the same machine, I can also boot XP or linux

    where everything works as expected, but no dice on winvista

    (SP2)! I've also updated my nvidia display drivers

    and I tried to disable hardware acceleration and temporarily

    my firewall and my anti-virus, nothing helps.

    I see it with IE7/FF6/Chrome.

    All the operating systems are 32-bit.

    Note that some sites have very well (e.g. youtube)

    Can someone suggest something, please?

    Let's try the following:

    1. Close the browser windows
    2. In Explorer, navigate to the following folder: C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\ (the best way to do this is to type %appdata%\microsoft\windows\sendto in the path of the Explorer bar).
    3. Remove the Macromedia folder
    4. Then, go to the Adobe folder and delete the folder 'Flash Player' inside.
    5. Finally, go to "c:\windows\system32\macromed\flash" and look for a file mms.cfg.  If it is present, please rename it.

    Once done, try those sites to reoffend.

  • An MP3 will not play, the reason may be that there is inside the ID3 headers.

    An MP3 will not play, the reason may be that there is inside the ID3 headers.

    I have to remove them, otherwise the WMP cannot play. But how do I do this?

    original title: MP3 will not play

    Hello

    -What operating system is installed on your computer?
    -What version of Windows Media Player do you use?

    The ID3 header is a part of the file that stores the album information of the song (for example, the song name, artist name, album name and kind). This information is sometimes called a label. After you remove the headers ID3, Windows Media Player should be able to play MP3 files.

    Warning

    Try to remove ID3 headers might damage the file and make it unplayable. Therefore, always make a copy of the file before editing.

    If you try to play an MP3 file that contains compressed ID3 headers, make a copy of the file and then use an ID3 tag non - editing program Microsoft to remove or reset the file's ID3 headers.

    If you are referring to edit media information, see the following link:
