Windows Media Center won't play DVD
Windows Media Center won't play DVD. This program has played these exact DVD in September. These DVDs can be played on other devices. Error message indicates that there is a problem with the decoder, but don't tell me the code of error message. I searched other forums, but it is impossible to find an answer to this problem, except the recommendation of a codec - although I don't know how I "lost" the codec in the month. Microsoft Security Essentials have installed and up to date, if it is not a virus. Have problems in other programs with the recognition of previously readable files. Not sure if it's related, so I'll post in separate... forums but I'll give you a link if you want to. Your help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Hello cowgurlup55,
In addition to the response of Santosh, please relay if the problem occurs when you play a DVD or a single. Please also relay if the same problem occurs when you try to play the DVD with Windows Media Player.
In addition, if you have an extra DVD decoder installed, then try to update the DVD decoding software.
For more information about MPEG - 2 DVD decoders, please visit the link below:

Windows Media Center won't play video, but Windows Media Player will be?
I'm reading a video .avi with the xvid codec. I installed the codec earlier and it plays fine in Windows Media Player, but when I try to play in Windows Media Center, it indicates that one or more codecs are required to play this file, but they cannot be found. I know I would just watch with Windows Media Player instead of Media Center, but I want to watch it on my Media Center extension (my Xbox). I'm running Windows Vista Ultimate, 64-bit. Why does Windows Media Player with this codec and Windows Media Center not work? How can I solve this problem?

Hi Slick05_1,
Thanks for the replies on the forum.
Given that the Microsoft Vista Media Center and XBOX do not play the files suggest it would need to be a codec which solves the problem or maybe file conversion which would solve the problems you are experiencing. Since the codecs for files is not something written by Microsoft, we do not have the information for that in our system.
What I suggest is to go to your search engine preferred and in the search line and typing "is possible to play VLC on XBOX.
WARNING:
Using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.
What I suggest also done an online search using your favorite search engine for "play MKV files in Vista x 64 Media Center" to find whether there may be suggestions about codecs or these codecs created by other organizations then Microsoft.
Please let us know if you are able to get this to work for you.
Best regards

Now I have Windows XP Professional after the upgrade to Windows XP Media Center Edition Home 2005. Now my Media Center won't play DVDs and I keep getting the error message "Missing Component". I tried to reinstll cumulative update 2 for Windows XP Media Center 2005 that has worked for me the last time I had this problem, but now I get the Error Message "you must have Windows XP Media Center 2005 installed to get this download and it shows already on my computer as installed components. When I reinstalled it 3 years ago he corrected the problem of DVD. Help, please
Thank you for your help. Here are the answers your request:
"Windows XP Media Center version 5.1 Edition - this shows when I"run"- winver - ok.
Complete error message: "Missing Component - required component Media Center is.
missing. Please contact the manufacturer of your hardware.
KB article: WindowsXPMediaCenter2005-KB900325 - usa .exe
The windows of origin is always on display as shown above, but I received a free upgrade to Windows XP Professional CD and installed on my computer. And under 'Information system', it shows as - Microsoft Windows XP Professional 5.1.2600 Service Pack 3.This problem started about 10 days when I used the CD of XP Professional to correct a problem. My computer is a Dell Dimension 5100 and I have two CDs that were sent to me - Dell - Microsoft Windows XP Professional SP 3 and Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Version 2005 with update Rollup 2.
Thanks again and I ran the "fix it" you suggested but it have no problem found to fix. Every thing works fine on my system, but Media Center won't play DVD. It will play CDs and videos on my system.
The initial problem was that I could not download the Blackberry Desktop Software - updates needed. The computer came with Windows XP Media Center Edition Home and I use Internet Explorer 8 as my default browser. I also use Mozilla Firefox as my backup browser.
Please stick to your thread to avoid confusion of origin: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_xp-windows_update/i-have-upgraded-to-windows-xp-professional-and-now/f5245962-e9b4-4415-8aff-bc1d972f8120
Note that I asked you to MOVE your original thread on the forum of material WinXP, not start a new thread.
Also note that you don't have NO Windows XP Media Center Edition, installed now if you upgraded to Windows XP Professional.
PS: If "winver" still says Windows XP Media Center Édition, did you not correctly upgraded & something is not. Better contact the Dell Support on this issue (if they'll still talk to you).

I copied a bunch of songs in a jumpdrive/mp3 from my laptop, then copied them all to my office from the jumpdrive. Now windows media player won't play all the songs. I get the window that says that the file cannot be found, renamed, or deleted. I looked for the file type and think they are all mp3. How to play?

It seems that you did not actually transfer files... did you
check files on the jumpdrive to see if they would play?Might be interesting to try another.

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.

Media Center won't play recorded video
All my recordings are protected recorded video HBO on my hard drive of the PC. When I read them to my PC using Windows Media center only monitor, all play. When I use a USB to HDMI converter directly to my TV, some of them play, but some give me the error "display drive errors: video playback device does not support protected content playback. Since it is a direct connection to my TV from my PC where are stored the videos, I don't understand why this is not allowed. Is anyway to get Media center to recognize this device? Is there another device that works? This can be corrected. Do I have to use an Extender?
