 - MP11 - playing DVD problem Using MP11 on Windows XP Pro with SP2. Player plays downloaded files on pc just fine. Try to play a DVD and you get sound but no video. We have backed down to MP10 since, per Microsoft, MP11 was designed for Vista and get same result. Also as an FYI, if we try to play a DVD using Roxio Cineplayer, we get sound and an upside down video. Does anyone have any thoughts or suggestions? Tag: Windows Media Player cannot play the file...

 - Converting MKV to WMV or DIVX: recommended settings? I'm using JetAudio to convert some mkv video files so I can watch them via my media server network and PS3. The results have been quite degraded. When I select AVI (divx + mp3) with same size and frame rate as source the resulting AVI file has a choppy frame rate quality. Trying the same with WMV (and a 512 Kbps video bitrate) resulted in a substantially smaller file and inferior video quality. Any suggestions for the best format, framerate and (for WMV) video bitrate? Thanks Tag: Windows Media Player cannot play the file... Tag: 262788

 - Jerky playback I have a wmv file that has played just fine for over a year. I use it in a powerpoint presentation. Suddenly it started playing jerky - the audio is fine but the video starts and stops at random. First, the environment: a. XP Professional, SP2 b. Nothing else running on the system per the task manager. c. On task manager, media player shows between 45 and 60 % CPU while playing the movie. d. Running Norton 360. I upgraded to WMP 11 - didn't help. I thought maybe the file was corrupted so I renamed the old file and made a fresh copy from another computer. Didn't help. I noticed that if I play the movie a second time (replay) it isn't jerky... it's only jerky the first time that I play it. I then discovered that all of my clips are the same - jerky the first time but not the second time. AHA! A buffering problem! I enlarged the read-ahead buffer to 20 seconds. Didn't help. I'm stumped. What could have changed, even by mistake, that could be causing this? Could Windows Update have changed something on me? Or a Norton update? Tag: Windows Media Player cannot play the file...

 - Video freezes with WMP 11 I have what I know is a software issue with WMP 11 on WinXP. Watching videos results in system freezes to the point of my computer crashing with an infinate loop error. I have replaced the video card as well as uninstalling and reinstalling the NVIDIA video drivers and it still happens. About a month ago it began behaving after a system reboot and videos played again without any problem but when I rebooted again a week later, the system came up with a "recovery notification" message stating that it was reverting back to the last known good checkpoint and the problems came back. No checkpoints I've tried to use on the restore will fix this. There also was no new software added before or after the brief period when the WMP worked properly. This also effects other video players as well but not as severely as it effects WMP (they hang but don't crash with an infinate loop error and system dump). So, my question is this, is this codec related? If so, what so I do to fix it (such as where do I get the codecs and where do I place them) ? Tag: Windows Media Player cannot play the file...

 - Online CD info database errors When inserting my audio CD's, it's common that WMP has incorrect info about the album. Ii took a few tries, finally figured out how to edit the info in the pop-up window from fai.music.metaservices.microsoft.com (the page is quite touchy - it likes to refresh and forget all the data you just typed in.) Conspicuously there's a field missing. The Year! Is there another web page where I can edit this info easier? Some albums come up with the year info, so it's getting in there somehow...

 - WMP not woring For some reason WMP will not open. At the same time Internet explorer will not open either. I have installed Mozilla Firefox in order to access my mail as my mail will not open with internet explorer. There appears also to be other applications not fully operative and wonder if I have a driver conflict. I have tried to reinstall WMP but the sytem tells me there is a more up to date version already installed and it won't allow it to install version 11. I have looked in control panel to try and find WMP to uninstall it and cannot see it there.( If I could tell what version I had I might be able to download the correct version for the repair facility tool) I am running a Gateway laptop with windows vista. If the trouble is driver conflicts how do I rectify it. Thanks Terry Tag: Windows Media Player cannot play the file... Tag: 262758

Today I found that the network option under preferences doesn't work, so I can't check if the network is set properly.

 - HELP with burning I am using WMP 11. When I try to burn a CD I follow the instructions to the letter and it just becomes a circle of the cd popping out and the player giving me a message that I need to insert a blank cd and the player will start the burning, but there is a blank cd in it, and it does not start playing. Once in a while it will just start burning, but more often I just give up. I tried to go back to WMP 10 (that worked fine) but then I lost all the songs that I had in WMP 11 and error messages started popping up from deleted music.

 - Problem playing .mpg files in WMP11 .mpg files start to play, then the video freezes after a frame or two while the audio plays fine. I've seen some similar questions on this board and tried the suggestions of updating the driver (which was current) and reducing the hardware acceleration. Actually, when I change the acceleration settings and/or reduce the digital image size, it will play, but the next file I open has the same problem and I have to tinker with the settings again. Even though I click "apply" each time, I find that one or more of my settings changes has reverted back. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

 - Problems with CBS Mega March Madness on Demand I am a subscriber to Mega March Madness on Demand, the online service on which you can all the NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Championship games on your computer. Unfortunately, I have been unable to watch any games online because of a recurring error. I open up the player and select a program. Then, I see a commercial (which makes it possible for CBS and the NCAA to offer it for free). This is followed by the dreaded message which begins "Internet Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." Then I am asked to send an error report. I have sent out five of them since Tuesday and still the problem persists. I have turned off pop-up blockers, run an antivirus program, downloaded a Mozilla Firefox patch, and even downloaded the latest player, WMP 11. But none of it has worked. Every time MMOD heads out of commercial, the browser shuts down. What should I do now? -- Being alive is the biggest reward. Tag: Windows Media Player cannot play the file... Tag: 262669

 - Organizing albums by year in "Song" view (WMP11 - Vista x64) Before I upgraded to Vista, the "Song" view would organize my albums by artist, and then by year, meaning that an artist's repertoire was chronological.

 - Can I make WMP 11 do these things? An old version of WMP - I think it was 9 - had a feature which would connect to a website (maybe it was music.com, but my memory isn't improving with age) and show various pieces of album information about the mp3 one was listening to, including when it was recorded, who played on the record, a review which gave some history and such about the record. This was great stuff for an old jazz fart like me, and I loved having it be the default view. Is there any way to make WMP 11 do that, instead of showing those goddam record stores? Also, can I make it show my library in a plain old Explorer style list or details view file tree, not the WMP folder view with the alphabetical headings and all that other clutter? My collection is almost 50 GBs, and browsing it via any of the views which are native to WMP, quite frankly, sucks. I'm not above paying a reasonable sum of money for a plug-in or such which would do these things. I'd appreciate any help anyone can offer... Tag: Windows Media Player cannot play the file...

 - A bug Adding audio files to the library ? I add Economist Audio files to the WMP 11 Library so I can sync them to my Sansa View. To get them into the Library I have to extract all the mp3 files from their individual section folders and put them together in one folder which I title "Economist". I have previously defined this folder as one to monitor in the "Add to Library" window. They get added to the Library this way but not as expected. When I place the cursor over each audio file in Windows Explorer, the information displayed is "Artist: The Economist", "Album Title: March 8th - March 14 2008", "Track Number: 1" [etc]. What WMP ends up with in the Library is as follows: Artist is each of the Sections ("01 Introduction", "05 Briefings", etc). Album is "March 8th - March 14 2008". Songs are each of the audio files eg. "10 Briefing - India's Civil Service". Genre is "Books". Contributing Artist is "The Economist". Actually WMP would be OK if the contents of "Artist" and "Contributing Artist" were switched. This seems like a bug because WMP has the correct info. I do not know how WMP extracts this info from the mp3 file but it should do it in the same fashion as Windows Explorer. It does not. Has anyone run into this problem? Is there a fix?

I have the playlist shuffled and I do not have "REPEAT" checked so I would expect that I could theoretically go thru the whole collection without hearing the same song repeated, unless I happen to have two copies of the same song in the list or if I reboot the computer and have WMP start over. However, that doesn't seem to be the way it's working. Every day I know that I hear at least one song, and usually more, repeated and I know that they aren't a song that I have more than one copy of. Is there something that I don't understand about the way WMP works or is there a flaw in my WMP 11? BTW, I'm running WMP 11 on WIN XP on that computer.

 - Dual Monitor WM11 reveresed I dunno what is up. I have a ATI card on a desktop and WM11. All of a sudden the video only on WM got reveresed. The full screen is going to Screen1 and the other to Screen2. This used to work fine. Powerpoint presentations still work properly which confirms to me the settings are right. Why would WM reverse the settings. I can't find any way to change this in WM. Please help! Thanks Todd Tag: Windows Media Player cannot play the file... Tag: 262610

 - IE 7 My friend has been using the "Guest" account on my Windows XP machine and managed to get some Dr. Watson error. It keep shutting down IE as soon as it open but only in the Guest account, IE is fine in my personal account. I managed to get rid of the Dr. Watson error, but the once you typed anything into the address bar in IE it would shut down immediately. This I have also cured by restting ie. However the one error I cannot get rid of and cannot find on google is the following message "An exception occurred while trying to "C:\Windows\system32\inetcpl.cpl,ClearMyTracksByProcess 4351 444 179". I get this when I try and Delete Browsing History. Any ideas great appreciated. Cheers paaul028 Tag: Windows Media Player cannot play the file... Tag: 262609

I am using Vista and Windows Media Player 11. Now I'm able to play my
ripped music fine, CDs fine. But if I click on mp3's on the web (I'm
in firefox) I get...

Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The player might not
support the file type or might no support the codec that was used to
compress this file.

Anyone have a solution?

Thanks.
