When I try to use media player to download a plan of the garden that it says cannot find the codec used to compress the file

I'm trying to download a map of the flower garden and the media player stands up and says that it can not locate the codec used to compress the file. I have Windows XP Professional and service pack 3

You most likely need a Codec package for your video player. The codecare like translators who take the image video format and encode or decode for display in your favorite media player. I would recommend that you download and install the K-Lite Codec pack from here.

Download K-Lite Codec Pack

Download the Standard or Full package to halfway to the bottom of the page. Download to your computer and run the program to install it.

    b. when I rang a MPEG 2 file (720 p, 25 frames per second) OR a file m2t, Windows Media Player is not able to read the file and gives the error: "Windows Media Player has encountered a problem when reading what he gives.

    c. when I close the program Pinnacle all right and WMP reads all of the above files correctly.

    I also recently installed and uninstalled Corel VideoStudio X 3 of the trial. First Adobe Elements 8 trial is also installed on the PC.

    I would be grateful yuour help solve the problem.

    Thank you

    Paresh

    Hello Paresh,

    The Pinnacle program is third party software that is causing the problem to occur. Pinnacle may be in conflict with your music files playing in Windows Media Player, that's why, I suggest you to contact pinnacle and check with them.

    Windows Media Player 12 is probably to use the codecs used by pinnacle, which may be the culprit.

    Step 2:

    Most likely you need codecs to play these files with Windows Media Player. I suggest looking up codec in the Internet that supports the file format, download and install them.

  • When I keyin information of track using Media Player, is this info inserted in the file itself, or only in the index Media Player?

    Original title: metadata key - music

    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.

    I get this error when I try to play a file I've downloaded BBC iplayer. What is the solution?

    My sound driver and the device is installed and running as I am able to listen to music on my laptop. He used to work until I upgraded to Windows 7. and since I have updated it did not work. Windows Media Player works on other video files

    Please try the following steps: -.

    2. use Device Manager to check the status of your audio device.

    a. click Start, right-click computerand then click Manage.

    (b) in the left pane, click Device Manager.

    c. in the pane, expand sound, video and game controllersand then look for the name of your audio device.

    3. If your audio device is listed, but the icon has a red 'X', the device has been disabled.          To activate the device, right-click the icon, and then click Activate.

    4. If your audio device is not listed in the right pane, expand other devices. If the Multimedia Audio Controller appears in the list, right-click on the icon and then click Update driver software. Follow the on-screen instructions to find and install the driver software.

    5. If you are not able to find and install the correct driver software, go to the Web site of your computer or the manufacturer of your sound device manufacturer for assistance.

    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 tag. After you remove the headers ID3, Windows Media Player should be able to play MP3 files.

    I've had this laptop for a decent amount of years, and for a while, the music player was working fine. Sometimes this message would jump to the top, and then others it would not. Until a few weeks ago, he never seemed to go away and work again. Now, I do everything I can to remedy this. But it doesn't seem to work. I need for this weekend, really bad.
