• Media Player will not play music files now that he used to play.

  I have Windows Vista and my media player has recently decided that it will not play some music files that it used to play. When I try to read, I got the error message saying that the file type is not supported by the player, or that the file was compressed by using a codec that does not support the player. Why has it started to do this, and what can I do about it? He is not doing it with all the music files, only some of them.

  Hello

  The ASF Format (Advanced Systems) is the preferred Windows Media file format. With Windows Media Player, if the appropriate codecs are installed on your computer, you can play audio content, video content, or both, that is compressed with a wide variety of codecs and that is stored in an .asf file.

• Compressed files into Windows Media files & does not of course

  All of a sudden my e-books and digital scrapbooking files, which have been compressed, transformed into a different type of file - unfortunately I don't know what, and I couldn't open them!  I don't know how they got that way.  I must have done something without meaning to!  Then I changed to try to open w/Windows Media which, of course, does not work either.  A single file has been highlighted; not all of my e-book.  Then I downloaded a new file digital scrapping, and it's a Windows Media file - like all my setting discarded digital who have not decompressed.  That's happened?  What should open with?  I had no problem to ANY of them before this happened.

  Try a system restore to a Date before the problem began:

  Restore point:

  Do Safe Mode system restore, if it is impossible to do in Normal Mode.

  Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

  Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

• Failure to write a Windows Media file

  Help, I use a Gateway computer and operating system Windows XP Professional version 2002 Service Pack 3. It has Intel Core CPU 6600 @ 2.40 GHz, 2.41 GHz, 2.00 GB of RAM. I have the two Premiere Pro CS3 and CS4 installed. There are 54.1 GB of free space on my hard drive with 94.9 GB used.

  I used to create files without problem with the CS3 version .wmv but with CS4 there is a failure every time. Project exports to Media Encoder and encoder runs through the whole process and even, looks like it ends up. But once it gets to the end, here is the message I get.

  Windows delayed write failed

  Windows could not save all the data (my file) on the data was lost. This error can be caused by a failure of your computer hardware or network connection. Please try to save the file elsewhere.

  He also had this message in a separate window:

  Adobe Media Encoder debug event

  Adobe Media Encoder has encountered an error.

  [..-.. \src\Batch.cpp-186]

  I tried to change any variables that I could in the Media Encoder for creating a Windows Media file. For example, you can choose several presets: "Source NTSC to download high quality" "Source NTSC 1024 Kbps of download" and many others. I tried not to change anything on the filters, public, video, Audio or other tabs. I've never had to with the CS3 version. In addition, I don't know much about the Audio or video Codec.

  Any help is appreciated.

  As the request wrong, you have any external HARD drive of in the mix, especially USB 2.0 external?

  This lack of write delayed is common, when a program high-performance push more data, that the USB 2.0 connection can handle.

  It is also a sign of imminent disk failure HARD internal, or a controller failure.

  It's something to be very, very concerned.

  Please give a lot more information, especially in regard to your auxiliary system of e/s, i.e. of your HDD, their size, speed and type of controller, and how you have them allocated.

  Good luck and start making major, just in case backups.

• Media Player 12 on windows 7 is unable to play sounds on mpg file created using arcsoft total media 3.5

  in question .mpg files use the audio codec of arcsoft. These same files play with sound on wmp 11 Vista ultimate on another machine. Both have total media 3.5 installed.

  These .mpg files also do not play in the computer of windows 7 using win 7 media center or film maker.

  WMP 12 shows that the arcsoft audio codec is installed.

  In addition, some .mpg files created by ArcSoft show no video or audio in wmp 12, but work correctly on vista with wmp 11 system.

  a noticeable difference in technical support for windows media information is the presence of Microsoft MPEG-1hd Audio decoder under the mpeg/dvd filters in the list for wmp11 but not wmp12. I am unable to find this codec for installation.

  any suggestions on how to find sound would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

  Addendum: other mpg which were extracted independently of Arcsoft files also do not play sound in wmp 12. The property indicates the same audio codec association of arcsoft. Tried to uninstall and install the window media components but no change.

  Thank you!

  I had the same problem one solved it just by setting filter audio decoder arcsoft merit for 0 x 600000 with Gspot.

  Media Windows Player does not support the .mov file format.
  Go on the web, google for a FREE video converter.
  Use the converter and modify the video .mov to WMV.
  Play again. Should work now.
