• Do I have to install a specific program for my windows media player play a movie than US (.bup)?

  Hi matthewrayskylarethan,

  Please use the forum for answers,

  A BUP file type is a backup file created by a variety of applications, including treatment, recognition and Word presentation packages. The BUP file type is generally created automatically in the event of a program crash or if the original file is corrupted due to a programming error or viruses.

  Can you tell us where you get the file from?  What is the file supposed to be? A movie? Soundtrack?
  This could mean that your video file or the sound track is corrupted when download.  As a result, he created a .bup file to report the error.  Give us more details so that we can provide you with accurate solutions.

  Hope this helps,

• 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:

  Try to install these plug-ins and see if you can get the service your DVD playback fullscreen

• The best Windows media player 11 dvd decoder?

  I had deleted my computer and re-intalled my xp home operating system.  (with sp3)  I have installed wmp11.  I now need a dvd decoder and opionions sought on one that suits.  I've never played DVD on this computer.  I've seen adds for roxio cineplayer, advanced corel which is the cheapest and set-top box to dvdse cyberlink power, but know nothing about them.  All others?

  I want to make sure that the "improvements" working properly.  (frame advance, video settings bright aka, cont, ect..)

  Also the ability to remove the nav bar for mode full-screen. (zoom would be as well)

  I ask because my brother compuer pro with wmp11 xp allow the video settings or zoom to work.

  I don't know what decoder he bought and he does not remember, so I don't know what to avoid.

  I'll def Standard comercial and burned dvd as well as avi and wmv.

  Thank you, Mark.

  PS please don't tell me not to use VLC.  There is no frame advance.  And is 'not' compatible 'screen Hunter' which I use for making screenshots in 1280 x 1024, which VLC can even begin to do.   (Yes screenhunter makes caps what is the resolution of your computer)

• 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
  here:

  http://www.softwarepatch.com/Windows/windowsdvdmpeg.html

  If it shows that you don't have a codec DVD installed, then you can
  buy one on one of the links on this page:
