Windows Media Player 12: Can he play FLV?

I love, love, love Windows 7 mainly because of the ability of WMP12 play MP4, AAC, .mov and other formats, but why he doesn't play FLV? I have to keep VLC around to play FLV. It's crazy. Is it because Adobe has shouted at the antitrust Court?

GOLD: is there a way to play FLV in WMP 12 without a codec pack (I am strongly opposed to the use of the codec packs)?

Unfortunately, WMP cannot play the FLV.

You will need a codec pack or a third party FLV player. Homepage: http://www.baxiabhishek.info | Blog of Windows 7: http://windows7blog.info

    I was wondering... you are totally unable to download the file
    on your hard drive? Or... you can download the file to your hard drive
    by car, but simply cannot display it?

    If you right click the executable for Windows Media Player and
    in the menu choose... Properties / Compatibility tab is...
    Windows 95, chosen for Compatibility Mode? If_Yes_try
    unchecking the box / apply / OK.

    Windows Media Player 11 won't play CD, MP3, WMA etc. error C00D11B1. I tried MS solve this problem, uninstalling, reinstalling, etc. Same problem on 2 computers. Winamp and Itunes play fine, its not hardware or drivers. Windows XP SP3 & Media Player 11 is perfectly up-to-date.

  • 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,.

  • Windows Media Player 11 lists and plays each song twice

    Why Windows Media Player 11 list and play each song twice without being in a loop? Help me

    I have problems with windows media player 11 playing each son twice and it is very annoying.  How can I solve this problem?

    Sara: I suggest that you try to reset the media library. Note firstly reset the library will make you lose all play counts and ratings too. Then, follow these steps:

    -Restart the PC.
    -Click Start, type services.msc in the search field and press ENTER. In Services, locate the Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service. If its status is started, double-click on the service and click on stop.
    -Click Start, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft in the search field and press ENTER. This folder opens in Windows Explorer.
    -In this folder, delete the folder Media Player. If you do not see the folder, then it is probably hidden. Set Explorer to view the hidden files and folders and show protected system files.
    -Launch WMP, your library will have been reset and will be rebuilt. Check if the problem persists.

  • Windows media player I can't find a way to remove photos, or download it to a flash drive

    I have a bunch of pictures I want to get off Windows Media Player and I can't figure out how do it.

    The best would be to go into your folder of photos where the photos are actually saved.

    In fact, when you are in Windows Media Player, you can select (highlight)
    a file and choose in the menu "open file location".

    The following steps may be worth a try:

    Once you have accessed the right folder... Select the photos you want to add to
    the flash player.

    The group selected (highlighted) right click and choose... Copy.

    Reach... Start button / computer... your USB should be recognized
    with a drive letter.

    Right-click on the drive letter that represents the flash drive and choose... Dough.

    Right click on the selected group of photos and the menu another option...
    choose... Send to / {select the drive corresponding to the Flash drive letter}

    The Photos must transfer.
