Windows Media Player 11 cannot show MP4 video but can hear the sound
Hi all, I prefer WMP on the other players, because he is able to play most of my MP4 without any lag. However, there are some MP4 files that do not show the Visual but audio is heard when I played against them on WMP. Interestingly, when the same MP4 files are played on other players, audio and video are very good. I take so that the files are ok, but may need to change the system or WMP.
Appreciate any advice. I'm on Windows XP and WMP ver 11.0.5721.5280. Thank you very much.
Hi lkahwai96,
Were you able to play properly mp4 files in Windows Media Player earlier?

My copy of windows media player 11 does not play video.
My copy of windows media player 11 does not play video. When you try to play the video (usually an avi file) I get audio and visualization. I tried to uninstall and install new, but does not. I chose also to all types of files media player by default but video still does not play.
An avi file is simply a container that may have different types of files in it for video and audio.
You probably don't have the correct Codec to play the video.
Either download a codec pack such as K-lite or download a little program called G-spot, open it and drag your avi file in the center of the small window of G-spot.
It will then tell you what Codec uses the avi file. You can then Google that particulat Codec, download and install it.
See you soon,.

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.

I recently burned music CD blank so I can enjoy some songs in the car. After that a few discs engraved with success, I received the message "Windows Media Player encountered an error when burning. Check that the burner is connected properly and that the disc is clean and not damaged"when trying to burn audio. To see if it was the m drive, I tried to burn audio files to four separate discs and each of them had the error message. The discs are brand new and have no information on them. I do something wrong or is my burner disconnected? Thanks for all your help and your support! I hope that we can find the cause of this problem so I can continue to make the CDs.
