Windows Media Center will not play a DVD, I get video with a loud noise and no soundtrack.
When you try to play a DVD in Windows Media Center or media player, the video starts, but there is a loud cracking sound with no sound of music. This Media Center has played the DVD in the past.
My system is: Vista Home Premium
NVIDIA GeForce 8500
Hauppauge Win TV HVR-1600
Realteck HD audio
ViXS Pure TV - U 48BO
I checked these devices using HP Hardware Diagnostic tools and they work. I uninstalled the drivers and reinstalled. Also updated all the drivers.
Reading this forum, I tried to delete the file from library: %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Medial Player
So far, nothing has solved the problem.
Thank you for your response.
I went through the steps. He has not fixed the problem. The good news is that I stumbled upon a fix. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the Realtek Audio drivers. Which corrects the problem.
Thank you.

My windows media player will not play a DVD
My windows media player will not play a DVD: Microsoft Windows 95 Version 5.1 (Build 2600.XP_SP3_gdr.111025 - 1629:Service Pack 3). Download a free version of media player to play the DVD? Please tell me the name of the upgrade and where to find the free download version, if so. Thank you!
First thing that you do not run windows 95 if your build number is 2600.XP_SP3 it is a build number of windows XP. Second, you will not be able to play DVDs using this version of windows and media player only. The reason for this is DVD is a standard that a group of companies shut down and basically, they demand rights fees to use, it codec, which you don't have. You will need get a program that has integrated these codec (or find them somewhere). Your best option for this is to completely abandon the but of the using Media player to play your DVD (unless you are looking to buy another piece of software). There is a free option that I use on my machine Windows 7 Basic its called VLC is a free player that makes just about every format out there (not sure Bluray). VLC uses its own codec (I think it's developed for the linux community orginially) rather than using the codec of the industry. You can find the program at http://www.videolan.org/

Windows Media Center will not play my video/DVD
I tried to play a video/DVD on my laptop and got this error:
"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 went to the Device Manager in the control panel and everything was listed as up-to-date and working properly. What should I do?
Hello
Thank you for contacting Microsoft Answers.
It is obvious that the DVD is protected against copying. Therefore, you cannot copy the contents of the disc. But to read the DVD, you need a suitable decoder. If it is missing/corrupt/out of date, you may need to install the most recent.
Have you installed the readers of third party DVD like PowerDVD, WinDVD, etc.. ? If so, it should work.

Windows media player will not play my downloaded movies.
Original title: windows media player will not play my downloaded movies, so I know very lil on computers! Please help me!
I have LimeWire. I downloaded several movies and can't watch them. When I try, it automatically showed the windows media player, and then displays a message saying "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. "I looked for updates, perhaps thinking that I needed one, he says: there is no availiavle. I use the latest version of windows media player. any help would be greatly appreciated!
It's really a simple question, easy to fix. But if you are really not that familiar with the computer, you may want to ask a friend who knows enough to help you.
You can show it to your friend...
What you need is to 'google' for a FREE video converter.
Use the converter and changge movies in WMV file formats. (Sticking with the formats WMV, nothing else).
Once the conversion is complete, you can play these movies in your Media Player.However, there is another alternative. Install a 3rd party media player called VLC. He plays any video fromats.
Here is the download link:

Windows Media Player will not play a. MOV file
I have a new Dell laptop with Windows 7 Professional and Windows Media Player will not play a '. MOV' video file completely (the video but not sound). I am told by Microsoft Windows Media Player will not play a MOV file, and I need Codec VLC add on or another player who will play MOV file. What is the best solution and if its for download a Codec VLC, then what is the best source?
Guess why? [ :-) ]
Types of files supported by Windows Media Player:
https://support.Microsoft.com/kb/316992Which was probably that there was a lack of understanding between the container file and the codec here (in November 2013). He says he's a "MOV" does not mean that he plays with the same codecs as all other MOV files. ;-)
