• I can't play DVDs in Windows Media Player 12 on Windows 7 Pro and get this error msg: Windows Media Player cannot play this DVD because there is a problem with the digital copy between your DVD drive decoder and video card protection.

  Hello, thanks for reading and helping me.

  I try to play a legitimate, belonging to DVD, but Windows Media Player 12 will not play on my computer Windows 7 Professional.  The DVD worked a few days ago, but all of a sudden, I get the following error message:

  "Windows Media Player cannot play this DVD because there is a problem with the digital copy between your DVD player and the video card protection decoder. Try to install a driver available for your video card.

  I did a lot of research of these forums and on the ' net.  Here are the suggested steps I tried without success:

  • I tried VLC player.  This works.  However, rather than use this workaround, I wish to find a solution to my problem WMP/WMC.
  • I tried several DVD for years over the last decade.  These DVD works on my laptop, also running Windows 7 Professional and the shark 007 codec.
  • I uninstalled my Shark 007 codec
  • I tried other codecs (K-Lite)
  • I assured that the latest drivers are installed on my video card, XFX ATI Radeon 5850
  • I tried to uninstall Nero 9
  • I tried to use the Windows 7 troubleshooting options:
  • > Reading and burning CD, DVD and Blu - ray (no problem)
  • > Windows Media Player DVD (no problem)
  • > Windows Media Player Settings (detects a problem, wants to restore factory settings, every time, no matter what happens)
  • A system restore to a time when the DVD was working did not resolve the issue
  • The different links in Microsoft, I found in this forum about this problem do not seem to be useful.  There is a link that points to the set-top boxes, but this page just says: "Windows 7 comes with a decoder.
  • I assured the latest driver is available by going to "Device Manager", right click on the drive, then click on "update driver software".
  • I assured that the latest firmware is installed directly from the manufacturer's website.
  • I tried to reset my DRM by renaming the DRM under C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows folder and by going to this Web site to upgrade:http://drmlicense.one.microsoft.com/Indivsite/en/indivit.asp?force=1
  • I've uninstalled and reinstalled Windows Media Player 12 and Windows Media Center via the function "functionality in Windows.

  I would be very grateful if a Microsoft technology could chime.  Thanks for your help!

  Hello

  1. which version of the operating system is installed?

  2. is the VLC media player-specific question?

  Try the following steps.

• associations of files - VLC media player

  I installed VLC media player as an alternative to Windows Media Player.  It is possible to get VLC to work but not as easily as WMP.

  However, if I click on a file I don't want VLC to play, open it with... screen opens (as usual) but there is no sign of VLC in the list of programs unrelated to me to choose.  How can I get the VLC installed to appear as an option in the open air with the list?

  I use Windows XP home and IE 8

  Just do it again with the same extension and this time go to vlc.exe.

  What kind of file (i.e. What is the extension) Firefox open the causes?

  A perhaps more clear explanation

• Cannot set the default value to all files video VLC media player.

  Windows media player and others fail microsoft products support the vlc media player file extension ".mkv" plays however each video I ever want to watch and I have NEVER downloaded a codec package. It is a FAR superior program and way easier to use.  the question I have is that when I try to set it on the media player by default it will not accept as a program.  I can browse programs open my .mkv film, find vlc and click on it to use it to open my file and nothing happens. the only way I am able to make this film to play is to open vlc media player and select media play in the drop-down menu inside the vlc player.

• VLC Media Player WARNING

  Note that this is a Legacy FAQ and contains information that is more current. See the update below for the current situation.

  Dell technical support is to deny service guarantee for speaker damage if the popular VLC Media Player is installed on a Dell laptop. Also, we got a report that the service was rejected because a KMPlayer is installed on a laptop. The guarantee remains valid on the other parts of the laptop.

  VLC has a function that can make the sound seems stronger than other players. VLC does this by using a process that creates a hard clipping (see below in this thread for explanation) which can damage the small speakers. Dell has tested VLC and checked the speakers may be damaged after several hours of use of VLC. I think that HP (Hewlett Packard) also asserts that VLC damage are not covered by the warranty.

  If you choose to use the VLC Player, it is suggested that you do not set the volume to 100% to avoid potential damage to the speakers. If you contact Technical Support about a problem of speaker, it is suggested that you have not installed the player.

  If you have already been rejected warranty service for a speaker only problem because you have the VLC Player, please see the next post which is marked "verified the answer." Send DELL - Terry B a private message. The way to do is to click on his link, which is its name in blue letters. This will take you to their profile page where you can click 'Send private message' or 'add as friend '.

  LAST UPDATED 27/01/2016

  From 03/03/2014 exclusion is no longer applied to the models that have Windows 8 or 8.1. Exclusion still applied to systems of Windows 7 that did not have the latest audio driver and BIOS installed.
  

  The latest version of VLC Media Player audio boosts only 125%, not the 200-400% of earlier versions, so the question is perhaps moot now anyway. (Note that there is still a risk if you use a software to increase the volume of more than 100%. Dell recommends not to go more than 90 %.)
  

  Great post Jimco

  If someone has been denied assistance by technical support when troubleshooting only executed has been to find VLC player installed please feel free to private message me. Just click on the link in my signature or my portrait and then click Start conversation.  In your message, please include your contact information, serial number of the laptop and any number of cases that support can be offered. I'll be happy to continue the investigation.

  For those of you who have requested official documentation of Dell on the Please topic, take a look at the following link.

  Problem with the volume while using VLC media player

  When you use VLC media player, the volume can be increased to maximum power. Finally, it distorts the speaker output. If audio/video playback is made permanently using VLC with volume max (100%) over a period of time, then even if the volume is kept at a lower level sound would be distorted. This distortion is permanent.

  Why does this happen?

  Some audio applications like VLC player will allow high power output per speaker, about 200 to 400% of the original audio production. In this case, excessive use can damage the speaker.

  What is the resolution?

  If you use VLC or any other software amplification, ensure that the built-in audio output is set to 90% and the output volume of the software of the amplification is set to 95%

• No sound of songs in Media Player or video windows 7

I have internet explore sounds and sounds system, tube you etc. I tried to turn off and on again the drive in the "turn windows features turn on or off" but this did not help. Help, please!

  Your computer may be missing code, download and install K-lite code pack can solve the problem. K-lite code Pack is free and safe, and it includes almost every video code and audio code. If your video is video AVI, you can consult this guide, it's How to solve the problem of reading AVI in windows media player. Or try another video player such as VLC Media Player and so on. They are better than windows media player.

• Firefox keeps blocking Java plugins, I've updated several times, but the problem persists "VLC media player Web Plugin 2.1.3" update now don't workr

  I've updated the VLC media player a dozen times in the last week or two, but it continues to not work, with a message from Firefox to come saying "Web PluginVLC Web Plugin 2.1.3 vulnerable 2.1.3.0 VLC media player update now". All other plugins seem to now, Firefox said recently that many of them had recently updated and all the others worked.
  Almost all the websites that I visit comes up with a message saying that the plugin is obsolete and has been blocked and I think maybe I should just give up Firefox and use another browser.

  Yes, it would be wise to delete this program VLC.
