Media Player

Hello, When i go to play a Vido on my computer i get a warning message which says "Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The Player might not support the file type or might not support the codec that was used to compress the file." Does any one know how to fix this problem please let me know.

 

u have 2 get the right codec

 

It means the video file type is not compatible with your media player, try and find updates or download a new media video player.

 

Does it just play the sound?

hmmm
go here: http://www.divx.com/divx/play/index.php?hpd6=player-en
and download that and see if that fixes it _b

 

try put on auto download codec thingy. in the options. works for me

 

http://www.free-codecs.com/download/DivX_Free.htm go here and download it - Then once finished you can run the video through Windows Media Player becuase the codecs are compatible for both DivX and WM

 

The same thing happened to me,only i never figured out the problem.

 

Whats the file extension on the video?

 

go to http://www.xpcodecpack.com/ it has codecs for almost any extension. I had this problem as well, but this solved it

 

Go here, and dowload the k-lite mega kodec pack then install it.
