Windows Media Player 11 say: need XVID MPEG - 4 (XVID), where to file 'SAFE'

Error said...

Windows Media Player cannot play the file (or can't play the part of the audio or video file) because the codec XVID MPEG-4 (XVID) is not installed on your computer.  Where can I get a copy of 'SAFE' from XVID MPEG-4 (XVID.

I suppose that anything can happen on the net, but
I've never had a problem on the following site.

(FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)

  • Windows Media Player does not support the codec used to compress the file.

    I can't do some of my videos to play it goes on to say that Windows media player does not support the codec used to compress the file. How can I fix?

    Hello

    What is the file format of the video files you are trying to play in Windows Media Player?

    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.

     

    You may encounter this error message for the following reasons:

    (a) the file type is supported by the drive, but the file was compressed by using a codec that is not supported by the player.

    (b) 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.

    Windows media player will play only the files and videos only if it supports this type of file.

    Please see the bottom of the article that gives you information on the types of media files that supports Windows Media Player.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/316992

    If the files are not supported by Windows media player, then you will need to use a few players from third party that supports this file format.

  • No sound in windows media player (11.0.6002.18111) only trying to play mp3 files. No way of fixing/uninstallation or reinstallation. Need advice!

    I recently encountered a problem with Windows Media Player 11 (a specific version in the title of the topic) where no sound play atall when you try to play mp3 files. When trying to play a track of the progress indicator moves VERY slowly and jumps in a stuttering mode and no sound whatsoever is coming through the speakers. He is a recent problem.

    All audio files work on other audio programs like Real player, quick time e.t.c. and the sound comes from the computer normally. Only the sound that I have are with windows media player when you try to play mp3 files. Still fine read video files, wav files play fine. How boring is that he suddenly decided he likes are more mp3 files!

    More annoying, I stumbled upon the fact that I can't uninstall the reader as in Vista, it is part of the operating system literal, I can't download and install WMP install package from Microsoft because I tried and it tells me that I have a more recent version of Windows media player and therefore impossible to use the downloaded Setup program to install or repair windows media player. It is therefore impossible for me to get an installation package that is newer than the one on the computer, you would have thought that the downloadable installation on the microsoft Web site would be the more recent but no!

    I can't think of a way to solve this problem. For me it feels strongly a Codec issue to do with MP3 and WMP but I don't really know about Codecs enough to go on the setting of the specific Codec with the question, or even track down which codec it is perhaps whether she "is" a codec problem in the first place.

    I tried settings with the menu of options in WMP 11 troubleshooting unsuccessful (obviously), I also tried an audio tool / repair of breakdowns than microsfts audio troubleshooting prompted me to try, that of no problems with the actual audio devices on the system... I KNOW, his problem with WMP and mp3 files!

    So, to summarize, WMP doesn't read MP3 files, I can't run a repair tool that there is no 'installation' to WMP 11 package, it is not an uninstall utility is which means that I can't uninstall it to reinstall a new, I can't download the installation package and run it as apparently I have a more current version than is available on the microsoft Web site. Then what should I do?

    I need some advice on how to go about trying to solve this problem I've hit a bit of a brick wall...

    Any advice would be much appreciated!

    FIXED!

    randomly enough rate and bit depth format sample somehow has set high in the sound control panel, advanced driver.

    After hitting "restore defaults" it resets the depth of rate and little sample return at: 16 bit 44.1 khz

    The sound now plays perfectly.

    Weird it performs only mp3 files!

    Thanks for the help people, it seems that I ended up sorting out on my own though! Yay for me! haha

  • Windows Media Player 11 says disc not empty when you try to burn

    When you try to burn on my home computer with Vista and also computer work with XP, two media players say that the disc is not empty when you try to burn and put back a white disc.  Sometimes, it will finally work after multiple attempts; sometimes not!

    III. in the Device Manager search for the name of the device
