  Hello

  
  Videos in 3gp format cannot be played directly on Windows Media Player.
   
  You will need a codec to play the video file. A codec is a software to compress or decompress a digital media file, such as a song or a video. Windows Media Player and other programs use the codec to play and create digital media files.

• Windows Media Player does not play my DVD from my video camera mini

  I have a Hitachi DVD cam that uses the mini DVD. My ex wants now the DVD cam so I'll try to read/copy DVDs.  Unfortunately my Media Player does not recognize that there is nothing on the disk but there is that I can look on the device itself.  Any ideas please?  I can't even watch it on my DVD player!

  Thank you very much

• Hi, I'm trying to use Windows Live Movie Maker to create a movie. The film is in MP4 format and the program does not allow me to open to make a new film. Windows Media Player does not play either.

  You have problems with programs:
  -Windows Live Movie Maker
  -Windows Media Player

  Error messages:
  -Windows Live Movie Maker: Sorry Movie Maker cannot open this project file. The file is not compatible with Windows Live Movie Maker or damaged. Please select a different project file. (button: "Learn more".)
  -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.

  Recent changes to your problem:
  None

  What have you tried to solve the problem:
  Reinstall Windows Live Movie Maker

  Format of the file:
  MP4

  You have problems with programs:
  -Windows Live Movie Maker

  What have you tried to solve the problem:

  Format of the file:
  MP4

  =============================================
  The dialog box that you quoted says "Project file" in Windows Live Movie Maker
  It would be a file with an extension WLMP. Or if the file was created with
  an earlier version of Movie Maker, it can have an extension .mswmm.

  So... just to clarify... MP4 extension or WLMP or something else?

  If the files are MP4, you will need to convert them to WMV format before
  import into Movie Maker.

  There are many programs that can do conversions...
  The following freeware is an example...:

  (FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)
  Restore point before installing software or updates)

  Format Factory
  http://www.pcfreetime.com/
  (the file you want to download is: > FFSetup250.zip
  (FWIW... installation..., you might want to
  Uncheck all of the boxes on the last screen)

  First... after the download and installation of Format
  Factory... you can open the program and
  left click on the toolbar, the "Option" button and
  "Select an output folder to" / apply / OK.
  (this is where you find your files after they)
  are converted)

  Drag and drop your video clips on the main screen...

  Select "all to WMV" / OK...

  Click on... Beginning... in the toolbar...

  That should do it...

• Windows Media Player does not play the Audio CD in Windows XP.

  Original title: Media Player 11

  Out of the blue, my media player has stopped working. I don't think I did something for him, but he started playing an audio CD. I have no error message, it will not play. I have another media player on my computer, which didn't interfere with Media Player 11, but I get an error message that says that it cannot open "" MRL CDSG: / / / D: / ".

  Hello

  1. are you able to play the songs in the Windows Media Player library?

  2. is the specific question on a CD?

  3. What are the types of audio file that do not play?

  Method 1: As happens with another player more, it might be that particular CD is corrupt.

  Try again with another CD and see if that plays.

   

  Method 2: Although most CD using the file system ISO 9660 CD Windows XP can read CD created by other operating systems may use filesystems not supported. The most obvious example is the Mac CD using the HFS file system.

• Windows Media Player does not play the full song - Y470

  Hello, I am having some problems with Windows Media Player, and I don't know how to fix it. The behavior that I meet is that WIMP would begin to play a song (from the library or a CD) and after playing a few seconds of the second OMP would jump to the next song. There is no consistency on the number of seconds that play before WIMP past to the next song. I can't find any option in the menu options that would cause this to happen.

  This started happening when I opened first WIMP. It's really strange. No idea what might happen? I would use another player, but I don't want to go through the hassle than other players (though very good) to provide compatibility with the synchronization with the mobile devices, playlists, etc... So I am forced to use WIMP. I need this problem well.

  It seems to happen with all players and all my music files. I can play the music files on my desk very well.

  Thank you

  Hello

  ·         Were there any changes made to the computer until the problem started?

  Check if there is information in Event Viewer which may help us to solve the problem:

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/what-information-appears-in-event-logs-Event-Viewer

  Step 1:

  You can configure the computer to clean the start State and check if a third party application is in conflict with the application. To configure the computer to clean boot state follow the link below.

  How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

  Note: When you are finished troubleshooting, follow step 7 article to start on normal startup.

  Step 2:

  Also, try to reset the Windows Media Player library and check if that helps.

  (a) 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 the service, and then click stop .

  (b) click Start, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft in the search field and press ENTER. This folder opens in Windows Explorer.

  (c) in this folder, rename the folder Media Player as Old 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.

  (d) start WMP, your library will have been reset and will be rebuilt. Check if the problem persists.

• Windows Media Player will not play music files - need to reset the file path

  I'm trying to access my music on an external drive (g) using windows media player. The player is looking for music in the E: drive, which is a separate external drive that my friend uses for its iTunes. How to reset the path to the file for windows media player? It gives me the possibility of rerouting individually paths files, but not a lot of re - routing. I have reset the default settings, reinstalled the drive external, even enabled/activated on WMP (of the Panel).

  I tried. The drive G:\ was included in the WMP library before this problem (and to make sure, I deleted and added it). Despite this, the paths for each song pointed toward the drive E:\.  I solved the problem by deleting all of your WMP library (not files) and restart the media player. The files were then reread with the correct file paths.

• Windows Media Player does not play the songs from the album in the correct order

  Hiya, had this problem for as long as I can remember. When playing an album with Windows Media Player with Windows 7, it will play all the songs that start with 1 first so for example track 1 then etc. 11 then 12 then finally back to 2. Also happens if I put albums on sd/usb cards and play through my car stereo.

  Do all titles should be renamed 01, 02, 03 etc?

  And just to confirm that shuffle is inactive lol

  It is possible that the tracks will be will play in the mess if you play from Windows Explorer (although I have been unable to reproduce this on my Windows 7 system). To avoid this, make sure that the titles are added to the WMP library and play from there.

  If you want to keep playing the Explorer, you can indeed rename 01, 02, 03 etc, you suggested already yourself. You can also switch to the Details view and sort by track number by clicking on the column # .
