  Hi John,.

  ·         Since when are you facing this problem?

  ·         You did changes to the player before the show?

  ·         This happens with any specific video?

  Step 1: Try reducing video hardware acceleration in Windows Media Player.

  a. in Windows Media Player, on the Tools menu, click Options.

  b. on the performance , under video Accelerationtab, move the slider more close votes to zero, and then click OK.

  If this allows you to play videos very well, this indicates that there is a problem with your graphics card or driver.

  Step 2: You can get an updated driver from the manufacturer of the display adapter.

• AVI video files play sound but no video in Windows Media Player 7

  My video files avi play sound but no video in Windows Media Player 7. Video files avi are since 2002 and has played very well until I'm a new PC with Windows 7 so I know that the files are not corrupt. All my other files and videos play fine in Media Player. I checked online and seen the posts in other forums on the codecs being the problem. Does anyone know how to fix this? Based on the other forums I found it seems that it is not uncommon that a problem with Win7.

  Also, is it possible to convert audio and video files in different formats with Media Player? Or do I need any other software to do this?

  It is not that there is a problem in Windows 7, it is more likely that you don't have just the installed CODEC the video file is saved with.  You will need to find a source, download and install any CODEC no MS yourself. You can use GSpot to identify CODECs used in AVI files. An alternative to downloading of many individual CODECs is to install FFDSHOW instead. Some media players like VLC and Media Player Classic also have internal CODECS and support for a wide variety of video and audio file types.

  Hi Simon,.

  Thanks for posting this question in the Microsoft Community.

  If I understand correctly you are facing a problem with Windows Media Player plays Mp3 files created with coral Video Studio very fast. Before you start, I have to ask a few questions of troubleshooting.

  1. are you able to read the other Mp3 files without any problems?

  2 have you tried the same files to play on a different drive on the same computer?

  3 did you a recent software or changes to the material on the computer?

  You can check with the parameters of engraving of coral video Studio.

  I also suggest you to run the Windows Media Player settings Troubleshooter and check if it helps.

  You can also update the last codec and verify.

  Hello

  1. who is the operating system installed on the computer?

  2 - is confined to a specific DVD problem?

  To resolve this problem, you can try to install the video codec and check if the problem persists.

  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 codecs to play and create digital media files.

  A codec can consist of two components: an encoder and a decoder. The encoder performs the compression function (coding) and the decoder performs the decompression function (decoding). Some codecs include both components and some codecs only one of them.

  More Codec please visit the following link:

  If you are using Windows XP - please refer to this article:

  Troubleshooting DVD playback in the Windows Media Player for Windows XP

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/306318

  You can search your favorite engine and download and install the codec that is compatible with the operating system.
