  • How to play .asx files in Windows Media Player

    original title; Can I play a video file of .asx with WMP? or if not, how to play with this extension .asx files?

    Can I play a video file of .asx with WMP? or if not, how to play with this extension .asx files?

    When I try to play the file, WMP shows error then update says "video codec".

    How then can I get this update for the video codec?

    Thank you, Michael Phelps 907

    Hi Mike,.

    an .asx file is not a media file. It is a file that contains a pointer to a content online. So if you are unable to read a .asx file and are able to play other files using Windows Media Player so the best thing is to open the .asx, a Notepad file. When you open the .asx using Notepad, you will see a link that starts by http: and so on. Please copy this link and go to Windows Media Player. On the Windows Media Player window, press the Alt key on the keyboard and click file and Open url. Paste the link and check if Windows Media Player is able to open the link. If she opens the link this is a problem with the formatting of the .asx file and if it does not open the link then it is a problem with the server online of the .asx file. It could be that it is deleted from the server.

    Hope this information helps. Keep us informed on the status of the issue.

  • Play AIFF files in windows media player

    Hello

    I'm reading some AIFF files in windows media player. I get the error message "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."

    As WMP supports AIFF files I guess it's a problem with the codec.

    Is there a solution out there that I can play the files?

    Cheers, Matt.

    Where are the files? Are you sure that they are in the AIFF format?

    You can try to install FFDShow . If this does not help, please open some of the files in GSpot , this program will signal the audio codec used in the file. Then, you can report this codec here.

    Hello

    Have you installed a third-party codec pack?

    Windows Media Player cannot play the FLV files. You will need a third party FLV player to play these files or you will need to install the latest codecs pack
    on your computer. If installing plugin ffshow did not help, then try searching the Internet for the codec pack.

  • Cannot read the CD in the CD/DVD drive after having burned the audio files in Windows Media Player

    I burned an audio cd with windows media player, it works on my computer but not on a cd player (I tried several players). Any ideas what I could do wrong?

    Original title: Windows Media Player

    Hello

    Please check the format to which the disk was burned. If the drive is made to a data disc format, several readers of cd or dvd will not be able to read its contents. In order for a disc in a cd player, it must be created in a format supporting by the player, which varies according to different manufacturers.

  • Can not play .3gp files in windows media player

    How can I play 3jjp may not work on my computer

    Hello

    Are you referring to the .3gp format?

    You will need a codec to play the video file. A codec is a software to compress or decompress a digital media file, such as a song or a video. Windows Media Player and other programs use the codec to play and create digital media files.

    Method 1 : you can check the link to see the guidelines on the issue.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/codecs-frequently-asked-questions

    Method 2 : you can use the link and check if you get the necessary codec to download depending on the type of file, you try to read.
    http://www.Microsoft.com/downloads/en/default.aspx

    Method 3 : you can also use your favorite search engine to download and install a codec based on the file type, you must use.

  • How can I access my music files through Windows Media Player?

    OK, here's the facts:
    I have Windows Vista.
    Most of my music in my music is missing.
    I can view and listen to the music of "missing" in Windows Media Player (library).
    In Windows Media player, if I click on a song and 'open file location' need me for my music, and the file is not there.
    Looking for songs via the start menu or through my computer does not work.
    MP3 audio files are also missing.

    Not having access to the original files, I can't add music files individually to my mp3 (Windows Media Player lets you synchronize files only, and I don't want to lose a part of the 'missing' files I have on my mp3 using the Sync feature).

    How can I access my music? Clearly, it is still on my computer somewhere since I can play through Windows Media Player.

    Hello

    Step 1: Check what all records are controlled by the player. Then check these records, if the music file is present.

    Hi DragLee,

     
    Windows Media Player is the default or integrated drive in Windows Vista. It can't be uninstalled or reinstalled. However, if a system file is missing or damaged, we can run sfc (System File Checker) scan to find and fix system files corrupted.
     
    Try these steps and check the result.
    Step 1: Scan of the sfc
    1. open an elevated command prompt. To do this, click Start, click programs, accessories principally made, right-click Guest, and then click Run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on allow.
    2. type the following command and press ENTER: sfc/scannow
    3 restart the computer once the analysis is complete.
    4. check if the problem persists.
     
    For more information, see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929833
     
    Step 2: If the problem persists, perform the system restore to a date where the media player was working fine
    1. Click Start, type system restore in the search box, and then click System Restore in the list programs.
    If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue.
    2. in the System Restore dialog box, click on choose a different restore point and then click Next.
    3. in the list of restore points, click a restore point created before you started having the problem, and then click Next.
    4. click on finish.
     
    I hope this helps.

  • Windows Media Player encountered a problem while playing the file. Windows Media Player C00D11B1

    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: -.

    1. use Windows Update, or access the sound device manufacturer's Web site to see if an updated driver is available.

    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.

    d. do one of the following:

    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.

    7. If you try to play a file on the Internet, try again later. The server may be temporarily unavailable or there could be a network problem.

    8. 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.

    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.
