windowela Posted January 14, 2007 Posted January 14, 2007 (edited) This message appears when I try to use it: "Windows Media Player cannot play the file because the required video codec is not installed on your computer." Do I need a video codec or something? I'm not really sure what to do. Edited January 14, 2007 by windowela
neo Posted January 14, 2007 Posted January 14, 2007 All you need is this. +U may use K-lite Codec Pack also.
windowela Posted January 14, 2007 Author Posted January 14, 2007 Thanks for the responses, but actually after about 4 hours of trying stuff, I figured out the problem. A couple days ago I chose to upgrade my wmp10, however I couldn't validate it because my version of windows is not "genuine." Then under +/- programs I removed wmp11 , returning to wmp10. However I still couldn't get it to work. I went back to +/- programs, and I guess there was another component of wmp11 still installed. I uninstalled it and now wmp10 works! Also AVI. files now play! where as they previously didn't. Not sure why that is.
junior c Posted January 14, 2007 Posted January 14, 2007 (edited) If you are running a wide variety of media codecs it isn't a bad idea to get yourself a codec pack, I personally use VLC and K-Lite. If you don't already have one.Junior. Edited January 14, 2007 by junior c
nitroshift Posted January 15, 2007 Posted January 15, 2007 (edited) As I said before, all you need is ffdshow. Using a codec + codec pack = conflicts, sometimes movies playing upside down or not running at all. Edited January 15, 2007 by nitroshift
