• Windows media player won't recognize DVD

  My media player can read and play a CD from the CD but when I insert a DVD, nothing happens. Furthermore, I recently installed a software AnyDVD and CloneDVD2 to burn DVDs and would like to know if this new software is the cause of the problem. When I insert a DVD, the AnyDVD does not analyse it and Windows Media Player will not play it (or he acknowledges in the DVD player). And when I try to clone using CloneDVD2, the dialog box says "unable to read video files" and "the device is not ready." I had reviewed the literature on the decoders and drivers, but it ' s all Greek to me. " My PC has apparently already the software necessary to perform these tasks (ie. drvers and decoders), I checked for these programs > please help.

• Windows media player won't recognize dvd playback or record

  My Media Player will not play it plays the cd and burn cd dvd if I try windows Director, acknowledges that the dvd drive is there but it will not record or play videos

  The reader has already worked? If it used to work OK but suddenly failed, then there's a chance (the DVD part of) the drive has failed. You could try a CD/DVD cleaner lens to see if that helps.

  It may be interesting to try this fixit MS - http://support.microsoft.com/mats/cd_dvd_drive_problems/ and run the built-in utility to see if they find and fix anything.

  I guess that its listed as 'work' and showing no problem in the device (on the Panel) Manager?, but its worth checking.

  It may also be useful to check on the support site for the PC see if there are updates made support for the PC and player. These can sometimes help.

• Windows Media Player won't rip CD more. I put it in MP3 format. I get the COOD1OD2 error message.

  Windows Media Player won't rip CD more. I put it in MP3 format. I get the COOD1OD2 error message, and by virtue of the clarification it indicates that the error message is COODOFBO which says that the setting of the CD in Device Manager do not match parameter of cd in the drive. I use to be able to rip the CD months ago. I just upgraded to WMP 11 because the sansa clip has not been recognized and updated WMP. How can I fix this.

  Thank you

  It seems that you did not actually transfer files... did you
  check files on the jumpdrive to see if they would play?

  Might be interesting to try another.

  Hello

  ZIP files are compressed, so you need to unzip and then play the content if the
  content is of type WMP files.

• Windows Media Player won't take the exit.

  It's a little weird.  When you play any of the music or video in media player, if you click on it X or exit the application, it is supposed to stop playing music or video.  The problem I have is that it is not.  He continues to play in the background and I can't figure out how to let him stop playing.  I have to finish ebb in media player and hit close then exit.  Even then I'm not sure its background nteh entirely closedi.  How can I get windows media player to exit when I type the exit?  I can't find anything in the options that it says must remain open in the background and continue to play.

  Holy buckets.  I found it.  So I installed 1.0 windows sideshow and found.  Its my logitech G15 keyboard.  It's the difference between computers.

  Means I have to disable the plugin on the logitech LCD monitor.
  Thanks Halima.

• Impossible to play a video file, error: Windows Media Player cannot play the file because the required video codec is not installed on your computer.

  I am unable to play the video file and get the error "Windows Media Player cannot play the file because the required video codec is not installed on your computer."

  Can someone help me how to solve this problem. Thank you

  May be that the video file format is not compatible with Windows Media Player.

  Options: -.

  1] download and install VLC Player. It's free and supports file formats more than WMP.

  2] download and install the codecs

  Personally, I prefer VLC Player-if you have that then not need to download and install the codec of any third party.

  If you already haven't, physically move your songs in the same folder, delete your old library and build a replacement.
