Windows Media Player only plays the sound of a dvd.
When I put a dvd in my computer, it only plays the sound. No image appears. How can I fix?
If you hear the audio but not see the video, you are missing one of the codecs needed to play the file. For more information, see Codecs: frequently asked questions
You can download and install ffdshow and check again: -.

Original title: cannot get audio from video .3g2 (Windows 7)
I have a number of videos that were recorded on a Motorola phone to format .3g2, when I played against them in windows XP Pro using what was the most recent media player, they played very well and the audio was present.
I've since upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate and have found that videos will play with media player sound is not output.
I tried different players like VLC (same result, no sound) and came across one called SUPER from erightsoft which indeed works and allows me to re - encode to .wmv BUT when I do and you try to read the .wmv I encounter an error:
"Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The player does not support the format you are trying to play. »
When I clikc on help, I am led to a page with links on THIS forum.
So here I am.
Can someone explain what is happening, why it happens and how / if I can convert them into a playable (with audio) .wmv friendly format?
Thank you

DVD decoder not installed?
I went to play a DVD on my computer this evening and received this msg: Windows Media Player cannot play the DVD because no compatible DVD decoder is not installed on your computer.
A few weeks ago, I played DVD on my computer. I would like to know what is happening. Any ideas/suggestions?I tried to play one of the same DVDs I played before... same message. Nothing to my knowledge has been removed from my computer and I'm the only one with access... "very confused.
Thanks if anyone can help.
Yes, and if you install the utility on your system, you'll see all decoders.
The utility will also tell you if a decoder is compatible or not.
Using Media Player version 10 or 11?
the utility tells me I have no decoder... the only thing I can think is that if I actually deleted it... I rarely remove anything because I do not add a lot... but it is possible a few weeks ago, I have to get rid of some things (I'm quite cautious because I'm not an expert). It is the Media Player version 11, I was trying to use... but I rebooted now 10 to see if there was something to update related that mess.
because I used the VLC Player successfully, I have not yet tried Windows Media Player (since WMP reloading and load the codec pack)
So great to have the entry of a person who knows what he's doing. Thanks again. I will try the Windows Media Player later and see if I have his use of return.
Have a great day!

Original title: WMP "can't play wav or midi.
Using WMP 11 on Windows XP SP3.
Windows Media Player has somehow forgotten how to play wav or midi files. Doubleclicking either of these file types give an error "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. " There is a button 'Close' and 'Web Help' which still informs me, "you met the C00D1199 error message... ". ». Following the advice given nothing less than useful.
I can easily play these files with RealPlayer or VLC so I don't think it's a driver problem, and it wasn't a corruption right after installing the other players. WMP seems to work OK when playing music or AVI. And there is no harm to hear a sound (wav or midi) in Windows for various system events. Have already uninstalled/reinstalled WMP without result.
Thanks for your reply.
I have since determeined the problem comes from an updated codec package I installed a few weeks ago. These codecs were from Shark007 which I believe is a Microsoft MVP. Use the codecs from this site for a number of years without any problems so I did not initially suspect it was the source of the problem. I uninstalled the codec pack and installed K-light package and everything seems to be Ok now. Now, I'll be in contact with the members of this forum.

Hello
1. what changes have been made to your computer before the problem?
2. the problem occurs on a particular file?
3. What is the format of the file you want to play in Windows Media Player?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.
WARNING OF THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE
Using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

copy a group of photos w/music (Smilebox program) on dvd;
After following the instructions of SMilebox to burn "images set to music" on DVD, to the attempt of DVD playback, I got following error message: Windows Media Player cannot play the DVD because the disc prohibits playback in your region of the world. You must obtain a disc that is intended for your geographic region. We live in the Washington area. I didn't know that DC was considered an unusual geographic region?
Hey nongeekbetty,
The DVD is encoded for a different region. Most DVD readers only works with DVDs that are coded for the computer was purchased in the same region. So if you buy a DVD in one country and then try to play on one computer from another country this DVD could not play.
Step 1:
Make sure that the DVD region is set to the appropriate region:
a. Click Start.
(b) in the search box, type Device Manager.
c. right-click on the DVD drive.
d. right-click on it and select Properties.
e. make sure that the region will be resolved.
For your information:
Step 2:
Also temporarily disable User Account Control (UAC) and check it out.
