Windows Media Player plays only 1 DVD chapter at a time

Windows media player will play only a chapter of a DVD at the same time.  It must be closed and reopened several times in order to watch a movie.  I checked and DVD drivers are up-to-date.

  • Windows Media Player plays only one file at a time

    These days, my Media Player acted upward.  It will play a music/film without problem, but when I try to play multiple files at the same time it hangs and I have to Ctrl-Alt-Delete to stop the player because it does more.  When I try to use it again after t6hat, it doesn't respond at all and will even stop my computer restart/stop, saying that the program is not responding.  How can I fix?

    Update your sound card drivers to their latest version. Don't simply check Windows Update, but the site of the manufacturer as well. Who help me? Tim Baets

  • The feature 'Play To' Windows 7 Windows Media Player plays only one item in the playlist

    I've used this feature in the past to play a playlist of video files, but recently when you try to play a playlist of MP3 files, I encounter extremely undesirable and incorrect behavior.  If I try to use the feature of "play to" WMP to play an album of MP3 music to my active DLNA home theater receiver, with success, it will play a song on the list, and then she repeated constantly that the only point until I manually hit the fast forward button or the rewind on the console of the player to a different element.  (Or double-click on a different entry.)  He did the same thing that I did a right click on the album and allows you to 'play' for the album, or if I add playlist to play each file individually to window.  I also tried to create a playlist in WMP and using play from here the exact behavior even.  There is absolutely no options or in the Play To WMP window in general, who seem to control this behavior at all, so any suggestions would be appreciated (because from my point of view, it's a rather massive bug obvious that I have no idea how he managed to pass in fact any sort of quality assurance tests either).

  • Windows Media Player will only play a sound with no video .avi and .mov

    I started having a problem where the Windows Media Player will only play the audio portion of my .avi and .mov video files.

    These files were created by my FlipCam or my Sony Handycam.

    I never had problems until recently and think that it is due to some kind of Windows Update.

    Both my computer and my wife's computer had the same problem and we are both using Windows XP Home Edition.

    I apologize if this topic already on this forum.

    Thanks for any help and advice.

    CoDec = compressor decompressor.
    A program is used to compress the file. You then need to unpack the file to play, you need the codec used to compress the file to decompress it on your pc.
    You need DVD playing software installed to power the mpeg codec, or you can buy a codec to just run in media player.
    AVI is a wrapper and may well contain more than 800 different file types, it has 800 different codecs!  Thus, to read an avi file, you should know what codec was used to do and have that installed on your pc to read.
    DV.avi is made with the dv codec, divx.avi is made with the divx codec.
    Of course, that manufacturers make their codecs, you must make sure you have the latest being, to be able to read files made with it, so everything just because you downloaded the codec divx 12 months ago does not mean it will play files created with codecs of today!

    I hope this explains it is ok for you.

    It surprises me that you say that you have downloaded all the updates of altest, but are still running wmp9, where we are now on WMP11 for XP and 12 for win7.

    I would update my WMP version first.

    Here is a page that will tell you that the codecs are on your pc and who has access to WMP 11.
    http://www.myvideoproblems.com/tutorials/HowToFindCodecs.html

    Here is a page that will tell you how to know what codec was used to create the file that you are trying to watch and also if you have the right codec for it
    http://www.myvideoproblems.com/tutorials/AVIcodec.html

    It is generally accepted that the codec packs adding is a bad idea, so if you need a codec to read a certain file, google it's manufacturer and just install the one you need.

    I would work just on the pc at the same time when you found what the problem is, you can fix on the other 2.

    Need more help with this, just ask.

    Hello

    · What is the number and the model of the computer?

    · This occurs when you are working on any specific file format?

    · Were there any changes made on the computer?

    · You play the file in mode full screen?

    Change hardware acceleration

    a. you can try to change the hardware acceleration in the middle and check (you can try another level too.)

    b. right-click on a space empty on the desktop.

    c. go to the resolution of the screen.

    d. click Advanced settings, and then click the "troubleshooting."

    e. set hardware acceleration in the middle. (Here you'll get the only option your video card sound support).

  • Audio Windows Media Player 11 only playing on two speakers (out of five) of the Home Theater System

    Hello

    I have connected my PC to my Panasonic Home Theater System.  The system has five speakers, but when I play something from my PC (DVD, Windows Media Player, Internet Radio, etc.) audio can be heard on two of five speakers.

    My installation is:
    Windows XP SP 2
    Cable connecting back plug (3.5 mm) audio from the PC to the RCA (red and white) sockets on the back of the Panasonic System.
    Map its RealTek AC97.

    I tried changing various settings on the PC (for example "a 5.1 surround sound" and "a 7.1 surround sound" for the sound card speaker settings) without a bit of luck.

    Thanks for advice you may have.

    Finally got it work. Solution has a setting on my home theater system.  For the entry that I used to, were to select "great surround" mode music. Now its running through the speakers.

  • Torrent video plays fine in Windows Media Player, but only audio in Windows Movie Maker?

    I downloaded a video torrent on my Windows Vista laptop. When I went to play in Windows Media Player, it works fine. However, when I try to play it on Windows Movie Maker, I can place only the file in the audio section / music, even if it is listed as a .avi file, when I import the file and drag it on the timeline. There is no red X or any sign of a problem with the actual file. When I go to preview, I get only a black screen, as expected when playing audio files. I checked super files supported for Windows Movie Maker, and .avi is supposed to be a supported video format.

    I've downloaded xvid on my computer and it is before I even started with torrents. I know that this translates to the game in Windows Media Player.

    I tried to download the same different torrents and I get the same problem each time a different torrent site, so I know that's not the real torrent.

    I went to tools > Options and unchecked the box I had, which was the AVI decompressor, and the problem persists.

    I don't want to convert the video file, unless it is absolutely necessary. If I need to download something, I will do, as long as you point me in the right direction.

    I ask this question because I see only problems with the .avi Windows Media Player files, and I want to edit the file to make a music video.

    Any help is appreciated!

    It turns out that the only way to solve my problem was to download Windows Movie Maker 2.6. Now, I can actually edit with ease and use the original .avi file without problem. I still don't know why I had so much trouble with the version that came with my laptop, but now it's the only solution that has actually produced results.
