• I wonder if anyone is familiar with this type of problem with the help of a Windows Media Player for DVD videos.

  Hello!
  I came across a problem with my dvd on my laptop drive. The program that I use on my laptop is Media player from Windows. And the laptop will recognize the DVD and everything, but when it starts to play, it gives me this message from Windows Media Player: "Windows Media Player cannot play video DVDs. You may need to adjust your Windows display settings. Open display settings in Control Panel, and then try to lower your screen resolution and color quality settings. »

  Now I always use the old Windows XP for my laptop, but I can't seem to understand how to adjust the color quality and lower my screen resolution. Does anyone have a little step by step process that I could follow to do this?

  The problem is that Windows XP does not play DVD movies in native mode. You can
  have a DVD player, but it can only read DATA DVD at this time. In the order
  install a DVD codec to read video DVD discs. First we will
  Install this program from Microsoft and run it, and if you have a DVD
  Codec, it will appear in the display window. Download this program from

  Hello

  Your suggestions might be. I think you need a codex or right and compatible for Win Media Player or you will need to install another player.

  Sites Web de Microsoft provides own codex for Windows media player. I ve installed the beyond and I'm able to watch all the movies and short clips on the sides of the internet as youtube for example. No problem at all...

  Check this sites from Microsoft and plug-ins available:
  http://www.Microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/plugins.aspx

  But I noticed that many Web sites provide movies that can be opened with flash player.
  I would recommend so also install this player. As far as I know you can find it on the Adobe site.

  Good luck and best regards ;)

• Windows media player displays the video like a color negative

  Had to wipe my hard drive and do a reinstall of Win - XP. Media player format has changed (another screen w / options) when you open attachments to emails, they play like color negatives. The audio seems normal, but the video is very bad.

  When you reinstall the operating system... you need to update completely
  the system for the current versions. You may need to
  update your video driver and you need also a current more
  version of Windows Media Player.

• Windows Media Player 11, DVD video, not big enough in fullscreen

  During playback of movies DVD with WMP 11 and in full screen, the video does not stretch to the edge of the screen.

  I have a flat screen monitor set to 1600 x 900. When I entered the mode full screen the video becomes a bit larger, but does not fill the edges of the screen. In other players such as InterWinDVD player or video Media Player Classic DVD of the CCCP play full screen completely to the edges of the screen (except for two black borders on the top and bottom do wide screen of culture).

  However in WMP 11 200% is not big enough. I was wondering if it is possible to get the video to play 300 or 400% in size?

  Here's what I mean:
  http://img44.imageshack.us/i/wmp11problems.jpg/

  Notice how the video area (Pink) is not stretched to fit the vertical edges of the screen.

  I really like WMP 11 due to SRS wow effects. Unfortunately, since the upgrade to a monitor flat screen with a resolution of 1600 x 900 WMP 11 the fact that the culture of the video. Other players I use InterWin DVD or the Media Player Classic CCCP do that mean the culture of the video. I am running Windows XP with SP3.

  Hey Helldiver.

  Check if you have the plug-ins installed to support the features of DVDs on your Media Player. Windows Media Player is a complete DVD player when combined with a DVD decoder (MPEG-2 decoder) with features such as full-screen video playback controls, ads chapter DVD and integrated pouch.

  If you are running Windows Vista Home Premium or Windows Vista Ultimate, DVD capabilities are included as part of the operating system. If you are running Windows Vista Home Basic, Windows Vista business, or Windows Vista Enterprise, you can enhance your DVD playback experience by purchasing a pack of decoder DVD or upgrade to a more powerful version of Windows Vista.

  Here is a link to the list of plugins that you can install to get the features of full fledge for you DVD:

• My recently downloaded Windows Media Player 11 play dvd, audio cd and cd rom, but will not recognize two photos of the dvd which have been able to acknowledge by Media Player 10 and record of the Explorer Windows-with some difficulty

  1. Windows Media Player 10 has opened a photo successfully dvd but a message "Microsoft has encountered a problem and needs to close" came on the screen several times.  Had to re insert the dvd picture, but it would open again each time.
  2. Tried the cd drivers and troubleshooting dvd and was informed of my dvd could not be played because there was no decoder for dvd.  Following instructions and chose a windows xp approved decoder pack download - dvd has chosen the Roxio CinePlayer DVD Decoder Pack.
  3. Then upgraded the media player to Windows Media Player 11.
  4. After that, dvd and cd rom could be opened by the media player 11, but neither the DVD or cd ROM readers would recognize the photo DVD in question had been inserted into one of these discs, and even less to be opened by the media player.
  5. Program scanner and photo used to transfer my photos printed digitally on a dvd are trademarks of Hewlett-Packard.  Contact the center of the photo, but they could not provide me with any guidance or even particular HP photo program they used to create the dvd picture.  I remember the photos were stored on the dvd in JPEG format picture and was able to open by Windows Explorer before I've updated since WMP 10-11.

  "" I remember well, the pictures are stored on the dvd in JPEG format picture and was able to open by Windows Explorer before I've updated since WMP 10-11 ""

  Looks like you have a data dvd, which has just the pictures on it and it will not be seen by WMP, who needs a dvd-video disc.

  It should always open in windows Explorer and you should be able to see your pictues it.

• The Windows media player 11 no sound during playback of the songs in the library

  Windows Media Player 11 is no longer being on any sound, but only when I try to play a song in the library, but it is sound when I play a CD or play a video clip with the player, so the speakers & sound card are ok. The track is played physically because the small bar at the bottom of the player moves from left to right and the timer starts counting from zero until the end of the track. I am able to hear the songs in my library if I open it with VLC Media Player. I had no problem in the past, then one day there was no sound... Any suggestions?

• Why Windows Media Player in W7 duplicate audio files apparently without input from me

  It's pretty simple. I have a PC with i5 processor and run W7 home edition. For some reason, unbeknownst to me WMP duplicates now so ripped audio files from a CD. Sometimes it is incompatible with only about 90% of the titles in doubles and it doesn't happen immediately. After that the days of non-use, I open WMP to find a disc that I thought had apparently escaped, magically duplicate. Indeed strange events. I can't comment on downloads on the net that I do not use this source. Anyone can shed light on the issue?

  Rod Armstrong

  Hi Rod,

  1 are - that these duplicates reflect while ripping CDs with Windows Media Player?

  2 did you do changes on the computer before the show?

  First, check if there are different entries for the same media on your computer. If a song or a file is saved two times he can show you a duplicate because they are located in two different places.

  Method 1: I would recommend you to rebuild the database of Windows Media Player and see if the problem is resolved.

  Here's how:

  To resolve this problem, delete the Windows Media Player database. To do this, follow these steps:

  a. exit Windows Media Player.

  b. click Start, click run, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media Playerand then click OK.

  c. Select all files in the folder, and then click delete on the file menu.

  Note: You don't have to remove the folders that are in this folder.

  d. restart Windows Media Player.

  Note: Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.

  Method 2: If this does not resolve the problem, disable the Windows Media Player database cache files.

  To do this, follow these steps:

  a. exit Windows Media Player.

  b. click Start, click run, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoftand then click OK.

  c. Select the Media Player folder, and then click delete on the file menu.

  d. restart Windows Media Player.
