  Same videos work in Gom and Vlc but not in Media Player 11.  I followed the recommendation of the error and I checked the Device Manager... no question there and not even the latest drivers dowlaoded no help.

• Why can I get only audio when I play the video files?

  I only get the audio portions when I play video files.  The video is black and white.  What is happening with mi/gal., avchd and videos posted to Web sites. YouTube, Facebook, etc.  The video files only can I play are windows media files.  Media Windows PLAYER will not play any other video files?  I have the latest updates for my video card and the adobe flash player.  Thanks for any info!  Elwood, Windows 7 64 bit, i7 980 x @333 6 hearts, 12 GB of ram DDR 1600, Radeon 5850 GPU, OCZ Vertex 3 120 GB SSD

  It is likely that the various files contain the CODEC, that are either not installed on your computer, or PrE is not able to use them.

  You list several types of files, and I urge you to first see this FAQ entry, then get one of the utilities file info, related to it, G-Spot, MediaInfo, or MediaInspector, then view the details on the different CODECS: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/440037?tstart=0

  In addition, WMP cannot play the video shows the probability of a CODEC problem.

  Or another of the great, try free media players, VLC Player, or MediaPlayer Classic HC. Both contain many useful CODECS, but they do NOT install them in the operating system.

  Good luck, and with the CODEC info, can anyone give your recommendations.

  I'm guessing that you need a certain codec to play the

• Dissemination of problems-Church of Media Player will not automatically play more

  In the past (3 days ago I also an automatically upgraded to Media Player 11) when I played a broadcast of the Church, he played on media player no delay or anything, now it wll not play automatically. Now I get a pop up asking if I want to download the show (never done that before), when I say yes it takes a long time, after it is downloaded it said: he can't read mp3 or something like that and if I want to open anyway, I say yes, but I get a picture but no sound.  I did the windows fix solution, he said that I had no decoder, so I ordered and downloaded the Corel DVD Xpack now I get no picture just a line grey and not sound, and when I try additional steps I get a still picture and no sound.  So I did the fix it solution now it says something codec, but he did not repair because it finds problems.  Help, please.

  Hello

  1, what is the exact error message you get?

  I think to read the files, you may need to install the codec supported for your file play on Windows Media Player.

• Windows Media Player 11 will not play video

  Windows Media Player 11 will not play DVD-video or video files from a SD card.  I tried several update codec options, but none were successful, including the option offered by Microsoft (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/download/AllDownloads.aspx?displang=en).  Windows tells me that a more recent update has been installed and refuses to go forward.

  Hi RonMcCulloch,

  ·         You receive an error message or error code?

  ·         What is the type of file you are trying to play?

  ·         The DVD I get recognized by the computer?

  ·         Did you do changes on the computer before the show?

  In the meantime, you can try to reduce hardware acceleration, and see if it resolves the problem. (Only if your video card supports hardware acceleration)

  a. open the screen resolution by clicking on the Start button, click Control Panel, and then under appearance and personalization, click adjust screen resolution.

  b. click on settings Advanced , the Troubleshooting tab and then click change settings.

  c. move the hardware acceleration slider toward none to reduce or turn off video hardware acceleration.

  d. click OKand then click restart now.

  Let us know if it helps.

• When I play a video, I can't see it. but I can hear the audio (I recently formatted my laptop)

  I was wondering after reinstalling Windows,
  did you visit the support site for your computer

  Hello

  Codecs: Frequently asked questions
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/codecs-frequently-asked-questions

  All you need is good Codec - get these if 32-bit.

  -Free - CCCP also get free tool of insurgents
  http://CCCP-project.NET/

  FFDSHOW - free
  http://sourceforge.NET/projects/ffdshow/

  Check here:

  Plug-ins for Windows Media Player
  http://www.Microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/plugins.aspx

  ---------------------------------------

  VLC needs, of no use so usually Codec as a backup when asked to support associations of files just say no.

  VLC - free
  http://www.videolan.org/VLC/

  -------------------------------------------------------------

  If 64 bits and you need codec.

  Read this 1st and go that route, or use the one below. (Vista or Windows 7)

  http://www.Vistax64.com/sound-audio/152850-Vista-codec-pack-32bit-64bit-Media-Player-codecs.html

  --------------------------------------------------------------------

  If 64-bit - can run WMP in 32 or 64 bit mode.

  Or try these: download - SAVE - go to the place where your put them RIGHT CLICK – RUN AS ADMIN.

  For 32-bit use these - OR the 32 bit ones listed above which I prefer.

  K - Lite Codec Pack 8.0.8 (or newer)
  http://www.codecguide.com/

  Use them for 64-bit:

  K - Lite Codec Pack 5.5.0 (64-bit) (or newer)
  http://www.codecguide.com/

  -------------------------------------------------------------

  You know that you use WMP 32 or 64

  Change, modify or value 64-bit Windows Media Player 11 (WMP11) in Windows Vista x 64 as default (or WMP12 - Windows7)
  http://www.mydigitallife.info/2007/01/19/switch-change-or-set-64-bit-Windows-Media-Player-11-WMP11-in-Windows-Vista-x64-as-default/

  -------------------------------------------------------------

  And you can use it when necessary because no codex is usually required.
