• No sound in 3g 2 files, error "Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The player does not support the format you are trying to play. »

  Original title: cannot get audio from video .3g2 (Windows 7)

  I have a number of videos that were recorded on a Motorola phone to format .3g2, when I played against them in windows XP Pro using what was the most recent media player, they played very well and the audio was present.

  I've since upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate and have found that videos will play with media player sound is not output.

  I tried different players like VLC (same result, no sound) and came across one called SUPER from erightsoft which indeed works and allows me to re - encode to .wmv BUT when I do and you try to read the .wmv I encounter an error:

  "Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The player does not support the format you are trying to play. »

  When I clikc on help, I am led to a page with links on THIS forum.

  So here I am.

  Can someone explain what is happening, why it happens and how / if I can convert them into a playable (with audio) .wmv friendly format?

  Thank you

  Hi UbinTook,
  
  You found this message from Windows Media Player due to one of the following reasons.
   
  a. you try to play a file that is not supported by the player.
  b. you are trying to play a file that the player does not support, but the file was compressed by using a codec that is not supported by the player.
   
  Step 1:
   
  Confirm that you are trying to play a supported file type. The following article lists the types of files (formats) supported by Windows Media Player.
   
  Information on the types of media files that supports Windows Media Player
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/316992
   
  Note: if you have tried to play the file type is included in this table, the file might have been encoded with a codec that is not supported by Windows Media Player. If this is the case, Windows Media Player cannot play the file.
   
  Step 2:
   
  Download the necessary codec to play the file.

• Error: Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The player can not support the Codec that was used to compress the file, MP3 downloads will not play

  Original title: MP3 downloads don't play no not on WMP

  My Windows Media Player recently stopped playing downloads from Amazon. I've never had this problem before. I installed VLC Player, has not worked... off the WMP in the Windows app, restarted, turned on the back and restarted... did not help. I get the message "Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The player may not support the Codec used to compress the file. This is for multiple downloads, so I don't think they would be all corrupted files.

  Hello
   
  Have you done any software or changes to the material on the computer before this problem?
   
  You mentioned that the files do not play on a third-party player as well. I suggest you to check if the files are corrupt.

• Why not Windows Media Player 11 does not recognize w4a files in the library list more.

  I have Windows XP Pro (SP3) with Windows Media Player 11. I had a virus wipe my hard drive (everything has been updated) and after reinstalling and updating everything, it no longer recognizes the w4a files, but it automatically plays them the OMP 11 if I click on the file in Windows Explorer.

  Before the accident, all the files on my computer w4a was included in the library. Now the entire albums, as well as individual songs are missing. In fact, now NO w4a file is listed. So my question is, why does Windows Media Player 11 recognize the w4a files?

  The player will search for digital media files and playlists in the folder you specify and add to your library. If you have your files and playlists stored in different folders on your computer, you may need to search for files several times, by specifying a different folder every time.

  Method 2:
  You may need to rebuild the database of Windows Media Player.
  Here's how:
  To resolve this problem, delete the Windows Media Player database. To do this, follow these steps:
  a. exit Windows Media Player.

     Note: You don't have to remove the folders that are in this folder.
  d. restart Windows Media Player.
  Note: Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.

  I am running Windows Xp Pack3 of SVC. "When I try to open attachments downloaded widow Windows Media Player pops up informing me:" the selected file has an extension (.pps) or (asx) or (pdf) that is not recognized by Windows Media Player, but the player may still be able to play. "Because the extension is unknown to the player, you should be sure that the file is from a trustworthy source.

  All my emails are close friends and relatives, which means that the files are trustworthy.

  Hi j.k.glissmann,

  · What is the email client or webmail you are using?

  · What is the attachment file extension?

  · How do you open the attachment?

  · Is it by double-clicking or you choose open with option.

  Hello

  1. are you able to play the other mpegs successfully?
  2. what version of Windows Media Player do you use?

  I suspect that the file is corrupted.

  Method 1.
  Check if you can play the same video in a different media player.

  Method 2.
  You may need to check if the codecs work very well to play the file. Check if you have installed third party codecs. Uninstall them and re - install and then check.

  I hope this helps.

  Hello

  You need to open ZIP files, which are compressed to make it smaller, then use the content
  in the application appropriate - so if the audio or video content can use WMP.

  Compress and uncompress files (zip files)
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/compress-and-uncompress-files-ZIP-files

  Although Windows has integrated ZIP, you might be more comfortable using a program
  with more features (and works with different types of compressed files).
