I have download a net fim it plays with VLC but not with windows media player

What is the format of the film? If it is .avi, you can
you need to install the Xvid codec.

This can be checked by using the free software GSpot:

  • My e260 will not play the music that is in the folder "root"...

    Hello.

    My e260 won't play any music that's in my is e260\Media\MUSIC

    he plays music just if it appears in the records of the album that contains a single artist , if I add more that one artist to a record won't play/find (the files are MP3 only)

    firmware is 01.12.15A, a direct update link will be useful

    usb is now in mtp mode... If I spend to msc mode won't do a thing and will not show the "revomable" drive in mypc

    Try to update on 1.02.18

    but follow these instructions.  These include the later firmware, but some people have trouble with the firmware after 1.02.18.

    The MSC connection is usually the easiest.

    What kind of Windows are you using?

    The problem can also be that you have nested in circles of MUSIC. You could try to move the music folder up one level.

  • Will not play netflix movies - goes to another page of netflix.

    Firefox 4 refuses to play Netflix movies streaming. They worked well in the latest version of Firefox 3 I had yesterday. I added a few security and blocking of modules but disabled then those other than the ones I had used with the previous version. Netflix recognizes my account but when I click on the button "resume play", or if I select a movie and he say to play, it is by default to another page of Netflix with instructions of some sort - it will not play streaming videos.

    I've just updated to the new Firefox and would not be able to stream my Netflix movies. I was getting an error code associated with Silverlight. I called Netflix and they had me turn on my story and that solved the problem. Their technical support, said the history/cookies must be enabled to stream movies. I hope this helps! (I also followed the prompt on the screen of Netflix with this error code to remove my old registered certificates, etc.).

  • What should I do if Netflix will not play and say that message of the error "plugin Primetime content decryption Module provided by Adobe Systems Inc. has crashed?

    I called Netflix twice with the error code F7361-1253 is, therefore, nothing helps. The first time, the guy said it was not a code of Netflix and didn't know what to do. The second time a different guy told to see if Netflix would play Internet Explorer. As he did, he said that the problem was with Firefox. I tried to update plug-ins, and refresh Firefox, but nothing works.

    Simply download the installer here: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/

    You can uninstall Firefox Beta after installing the version with the installer from the URL above, or you can just keep it.

  • HP pavilion dv7 notebook pc windows 7 64 bit home hp mediasmart dvd player will not play any dvd

    format not supported, says please insert a movie

    Hello

    OK, try the following.

    As you use HP MediaSmart DVD to play discs, follow these steps.

    HP now provides a version of PowerDVD 10 Cyberlinks which seems to be a better solution.  Download the latest installer for it on the link below and save it in your downloads folder.

    http://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp56501-57000/sp56904.exe

    Once the download is complete, open windows control panel, open programs and features, make a right click the entry for HP MediaSmart DVD and select uninstall - when this process is complete, restart the laptop.

    When windows has reloaded, open your downloads folder and double-click Setup for PowerDVD 10 start the installation.  Once done, see if your discs now plays OK.

  • Technical problem: body CS5.5 will not play DSLR MOVs

    Hello!

    I'm new to body CS5.5 (first day, actually) and I can't read. MOV to my Canon 5 d Mk2 (with audio). All other file formats I've tried has worked, which is very bad because I bought the Production Premium package just for working with DSLR images.

    It's okay if I create a sequence (still did not understand what it is for) with/for files or not, it doesn't matter what project settings that I have. After I launch the application, I can play (or scrub) DSLR files for 10 seconds max before the output begins to jump erratically in the clip (the playhead does not), then in turn green (RGB: 0 x 008600), sometimes interposed with images of other clips that were played before, sometimes even garbage. There is no recovery from this. All other file formats continue to work properly. 'New project' or exit the application can then take up to a minute while the program remains insensitive and looks that it broke down. It's totally unusable (the competition and all other software works very well with files).

    I have a Win7 64 bit 3.4 GHz Sandybridge system with 16 GB of RAM. Hard drives are big, fast and fast enough to handle the video DSLR. There is no other applications running in the background (really nothing like the computer is not connected to the internet) and there is a lot of memory and available hard drive space.

    What I can do or what wrong? Thanks in advance.

    ... Mike

    A quick scan on the thread looks like no one has yet suggested another possible fix.

    CS 5.5 has a problem with Nikon D7000 media.  Adobe is aware and working on the fix.  In the meantime, Nikon all users need to do is change the extension to .mpg .mov files and files work fine.

    You can try the same thing with your Canon files.
