  • Windows Media Player will no longer play downloaded visualizations

    Recently, I had a problem range from simple annoyance to frustrating. The visualizations that I bought two (IE GE Force Aeon of spectrum) and those downloaded from Micorsoft (Album Art 3D, bubbles) will not play. It was a gradual progression, first I would like to restart and the problem seems to be resolved. Then my X 86 would not work, but would be my Media Player for 64-bit. Now they don't work at all. However, I can still see them. DLL in the list and my Alchemy, Bars and waves and the batteries still work fine (coincidentally, those working in Windows Media Center, who has never played the downloaded content - at least not on Windows 7-64 bit). I am running Windows 7 Ulitmate, service pack 1(64bit) with a card ATI 5850 vid and a Phenom II x 4 965 processor.

    Hi michardav,

    ·         Are you able to play integrated visualizations?

    I suggest you run the troubleshooter in Windows Media Player and see if it helps.

    Downloaded visualizations can be corrupted, download it again and check.

  • My copy of windows media player 11 does not play video.

    My copy of windows media player 11 does not play video. When you try to play the video (usually an avi file) I get audio and visualization. I tried to uninstall and install new, but does not. I chose also to all types of files media player by default but video still does not play.

    An avi file is simply a container that may have different types of files in it for video and audio.

    You probably don't have the correct Codec to play the video.

    Either download a codec pack such as K-lite or download a little program called G-spot, open it and drag your avi file in the center of the small window of G-spot.

    It will then tell you what Codec uses the avi file. You can then Google that particulat Codec, download and install it.

    See you soon,.

  • Windows Media Player 11 does not play videos

    DE : Lee in Michigan

    There seems to be a problem with how Vista and WMP11 is looking for video.  I go to google video and play everything in WMP11 XP but in Vista I get sound.  I looked at several discussion forums and there are a lot of people having this problem. I have the version more to WMP agenda, I got WMP check just now and I am currently. Any idea? Thank you

    From: zachd [MSFT]

    If you're looking for an update of the driver from the Intel site, I suspect you might find
    happiness.  I've heard a number of people pointing this problem with
    the same resolution "updated to latest drivers".

  • Some videos transferred does not work on Windows Media Player (no picture when playing video, audio only)

    Hello!

    I have this problem, and it's very frustrating.

    I tried to solve this problem, but it seems that it does not work.

    When I want to click and open to see a video that was my old HTC SD card that I transferred all the files and videos on my account Dropbox, and now when I try to open and watch the video, it doesn't appear as an audio file and not with the original video.

    However, when I watch the video on my Dropbox account or my Samsung phone, it's showing the video perfectly well. I also tried to transfer the videos separately, but it simply doesn't. Here I'll show you a picture of what it looks like on the videos which does not appear

    And it's one of the rare videos that work to see, (on the phone EVEN HTC and SD card)

  • 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.

  • Windows media player will not play my downloaded movies.

    Original title: windows media player will not play my downloaded movies, so I know very lil on computers! Please help me!

    I have LimeWire. I downloaded several movies and can't watch them. When I try, it automatically showed the windows media player, and then displays a message saying "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. "I looked for updates, perhaps thinking that I needed one, he says: there is no availiavle. I use the latest version of windows media player. any help would be greatly appreciated!

    It's really a simple question, easy to fix. But if you are really not that familiar with the computer, you may want to ask a friend who knows enough to help you.

    You can show it to your friend...
    What you need is to 'google' for a FREE video converter.
    Use the converter and changge movies in WMV file formats. (Sticking with the formats WMV, nothing else).
    Once the conversion is complete, you can play these movies in your Media Player.

    However, there is another alternative. Install a 3rd party media player called VLC. He plays any video fromats.

  • Windows Media Player will not play a. MOV file

    I have a new Dell laptop with Windows 7 Professional and Windows Media Player will not play a '. MOV' video file completely (the video but not sound). I am told by Microsoft Windows Media Player will not play a MOV file, and I need Codec VLC add on or another player who will play MOV file. What is the best solution and if its for download a Codec VLC, then what is the best source?

    Guess why?  [ :-) ]

    Types of files supported by Windows Media Player:
    https://support.Microsoft.com/kb/316992

    Which was probably that there was a lack of understanding between the container file and the codec here (in November 2013).  He says he's a "MOV" does not mean that he plays with the same codecs as all other MOV files.  ;-)
