Windows Media Player 12 - How can you save a video?

Sounds stupid I know! but cannot find "" file, save as ".

When I play music, I have the upper tool bar file, display, game tools, help.

I opened a video and the best I can find is save as playlist.

In WMP 11, I had the top toolbar and could use the file save as function.

Hi Phil180861,

While watching a video, press (Ctrl + 2) to access the mode of the skin.  There you should be able to select "File" > "save under".
See you soon

  • All of my files have been converted to open it with Windows Media Player. How can I change this back to normal?

    Hello.

    I don't know what I clicked at all initially, but now, most of my programs have been converted to open it with Windows Media Player, so that they cannot work.

    Even when I click on the system restore (to undo changes I've done previously), Windows Media Player opens and there will be a window that says that you can not read this .exe file.

    I'm stuck and I don't know how else to solve this problem. Help, please!

  • How can you save a video taken with camera to SD card Droid?

    It shows that video is closed the folder memory on the phone, but not on the SD card. I wanted to transfer the video to my PC, but is it only transfer to and from the SD card.

    Videos are automatically saved on the SD card.  In fact, if you remove the SD card and you try to save a video she won't let you.  The photos and videos are in the folder: folder DCIM/camera.  Just the phone installs on your computer and find that folder and you should be able to transfer very well.  I hope this helps.

    I copied the 2 files to a DVD movie and he changed the .m2ts file format and it is not supported by Windows Media Player.  How to convert files in a file type supported?

    Hello

    The files have already been burned on a DVD and therefore cannot be converted. However, you can download and install third-party codecs to play .m2ts files.

  • -What someone answering questions on Windows Media Player. I can't download a license for music. It gives me error 438.

    I have Windows Media Player 11

    Hello

    1 have had any changes made to your computer before this problem?

    Perform the following methods and check if it helps.

    Method 1:

    There is a possibility that internet settings are causing this error 438 to come.

    Go to your Internet Explorer and check the settings of Internet security. Make sure to set the level on 'medium high'. If the level is set higher, it can block the Windows Media Player to download the license, Windows Media Player error 438 to come.

    Also in the Internet security settings, it is important to "run activex controls and plug-ins." By activating these two parameters, it must deal with what caused the error to occur in Windows Media Player.

    Method 2: reset the DRM Bank on the computer.

    To do this, follow these steps:

    (a) If Windows Media Player is running, exit Windows Media Player.

    (b) locate the DRM folder on the hard disk, and then rename the folder to DRMbackup DRM.

    Note: by default, this folder is located in the following location in Windows:

    %SystemDrive%\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\DRM

    (c) visit the following Microsoft Web site:

    http://drmlicense.one.Microsoft.com/Indivsite/en/indivit.asp  

    (d) follow the instructions on the website to update the safety component of Windows Media Player. This procedure allows you to obtain new licenses for media content. You can also reset licenses for purchased content so that you can play that content on a computer.

    Note: DRMs, such as Microsoft Windows Product Activation, maintain an internal hardware ID. This ID is based on the hardware configuration that existed during the installation of Windows or installing Windows Media Player 11. If you change the processor of the computer or other devices, the hardware in the DRM system ID does not match the new computer configuration. When this occurs, DRM determines that a user has tried to move the content protected to a different computer. This behavior can also occur if the storage protected by DRM in the Windows registry has been changed.

    Note: you must contact any third-party stores where you purchased music to reset the licenses for that music. If you copied CDs for protected Windows Media Audio files, the CD must be copied again.

    For your reference: When you try to use Windows Media Player 11 to play a digital rights (DRM) - management protected, multimedia media can not play

    All of a sudden my pictures folders are now all show in Windows Media Player and I can't open each photo in full screen, but only in the video display mode.   When I go to my pictures and choose view as thumbnails, that's fine, but when I click on the individual photo, it shows on the screen no video not in mode full screen and I can't move the photo to the photo without closing the video screen.  How can I get my pictures on Windows Media Player?

    E-mail - save in Word format

    How can you save an email in one file other than a gall email.  I could always save and send my Word with XP files.

    Help, please

    Thanks for your help.
    With windows XP, I could save my emails to my word files.  I use MSN as my source of e-mail.  Windows 7 doesn't have a "SAVE AS" function.  I was facing and paste but that takes a lot of time compared to a touch of "SAVE AS".

    Windows Media Player is not any plugin. Maybe you can try to Expression Encoder.

    Hey there Mopi2!

    Currently, there is no way to save your new image instead of the original image. For now, you need to manually delete the original. It is however a great request! Please share with the team by typing "give us feedback" in the app menu (tap on the app icon in the upper left corner of the screen while inside the app).
