Whenever i try to watch my mpeg 4 movies and etc. i get this msg. what has gone wrrong? it used to work (last night)

ANY HEP WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED!

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.

uninstall reinstall, maybe update your divx codecs?

[suddam]

i suggest trying VLC media player or even quicktime i think plays it

[Firewater]

also try re-installing your codecs;

Codec Pack All in 1 6.0.3.0 includes :
- DivX 6.1.1
- XviD Codec 1.1
- DivX, XviD - FFDShow 17.02.2005 Alpha
- MPEG2 2.0.0.0
- Subtitles G400 2.83
- Subtitles DVobSub (Win9x, Win2k and WinXP) 2.23, 2.33
- OGG Vorbis 0.9.9.5

If you have done the following:

Uninstall everything related.
Reinstall wmedia player 8, winamp. Vlc player.
Install the all in one codec pack firewater linked.
Install divx, real time alternative and quicktime alternative. (they are on the same site as the all in one codec pack)
Then attempt to play it in wmedia player 8, winamp, vlc player or divx player.

and it still doesn't work install the following and try:

FDDshow MPEG-4 Decoder, It wouldn't hurt to give it a go.

Hope it gets sorted for you!

How about stop using a shit program?

Make the switch to winamp. It's far more feature rich than WMP will ever be, and far more reliable, and more responsive, and more flexible.

It's pretty much the best thing ever.

[suddam]

Amen to that brother

join the ranks upon ranks of people who use the wonderful flexibility of winamp

[Integ]

ive got winamp aswell. only use it 4 playing songs....

[DeejAy]

yesh winamp is the only way to go

[sm1DDy]

Use winamp

Or at least VLC for videos.

Windows media player doesn't offer much over the competition now days.

[killer_sin]

yea media player is shocking for video's, just not use media player.

you can que movies up in VLC aswell.

same with winamp.

VLC is also a better program in all regards.

[Firewater]

VLC quality is slighly lower in my personal option, winamp is great latest version is a tad annoying.

Windows Media Player is ok but it doesn't really matter if its not working today and it did yesterday the user of the computer (your self) has oviouslly done something to make it not work, simply follow your steps back and see what you have changed or removed.

I use Mediaplayer Classic comes with a shit load of codecs as well, WMP is a pain when it comes to aquiring codecs so i just use VLC for Video, Winamp for Music and Mediaplayer Classic for Real Media Files

[Fabian]

Mediaplayer classic has some weird sound mapping presets for things like 5.1 surround.

Watching surround dvd's can be a bit funny with it, cause it will try and mix a surround track into stereo, which usually doesn't work, which is why I prefer VLC.

[Serangan]

Winamp is good. but i use VLC for movies cause it plays them the best.

[suddam]

same, it works for me, i don't have any problems with it

[joker31]

vlc media player will play anythin, no codecs required...
