It's a really common thing. A player not playing a perticlure file. its because it doen't support the codec or doesn't have one to play. \n\nOne of the best players for movies i came across was VLC player it playes any format and any movie i have played. It even playes cloned cd file directly without actually mounting them its really cool.....\n\nThis is the site address visit it \nhttp://www.videolan.org/vlc/

Did the same file worked before? if not, then it probably the file format support issue. it might need extra codec pack(check k-lite mega codec pack for free).\nit might be easy to try something else other than trying debug.\n\nI recommend use vlc player(http://www.videolan.org/) and it is best in terms of many file format support. Se it works or not. if you can't play it in vlc, the file have some problem.

Do you have the latest version of Media Player?  I don't have any problem as mine, but I update it every time a new version becomes available.  Mine all have titles except for the ones I've burned myself, but then, that's understandable.\n\nFirstly, check that your set-up is correct, and if it is, check if there's a later version of Media Player, or go into the Help Section and see if you can detect an answer to the problem in there.\n\nGood luck - I hope this helps. :-)

your media player would be of a old version or may not have proper codecs to play the file. try updating it\n\nor\n\ninstall windvd/ nero DVD showtime

Play it with another player like nero showtime or power dvd if you have these and see if that helps.

You poor thing, who let you get a Mac? \n\nOk, I will leave the sassiness aside. Is the program you downloaded an .avi file? If not, what is the extension? I am guess it is is it went straight to Quicktime. Are you sure it is actually a legit download? Those P2P sources can be touchy. There is a link below to a thread of someone having the same problem. Sounds like it is a problem with that file type and player. Also looks like there is something in there about play unlicensed material. Funny how my windows machine doesnt have trouble playing a movie (ok, that is the last one).\n\nSee second forum thread below, they talk about that problem as well.

Problem:\nMost problems with viewing videos downloaded from any place on the internet are caused by not having the proper 'codecs' installed.\n\nSolution:\nMy suggestion would be to download this program called G-Spot, which will tell you which codec you need to play the file, and if the codec is indeed installed on your computer. G-Spot address: http://www.headbands.com/gspot/\n\nMany required codecs including DivX and XviD which are the most likely codecs you need are availible at: http://www.free-codecs.com/

download 'VLC media player' Its probably some stupid codec problem or whatever. \n\nwww.filehippo.com and then search for it. Once you have it its the easiest, simplest thing to use.

i think you need a extra codec to play that specific file...the file should have some kind of error box appear...click on web help in that error box...and it should lead you to a webpage that tells you want specific codec you need to download...

U shudnt b downloading ne way.  It's illegal (and u can b fined, it's easier to fine than music) and anti-social.  Just go 2 the cinema, that's so much better on a big screen.  Or rent or buy the DVD.  Then it will b gud quality.

This is a bit like killing a mosquito with a shotgun, but I sugest you install the K-lite Mega codec pack - it contains basically every codec that exists.  While this is overkill for your problem, it should ensure that you never run into a video or audio file that you can't play.\n\nIt also includes the 'media player classic' - which I find to be vastly superior to the newer versions of media player, but you don't have to use it if you like WMP 11.\n\nJust download the file from the link I included and do the default install.  Reboot, and you should be good to go.

That is actually common.  What it sounds like you need is a codec.  I trust the ones at http://www.free-codecs.com/ \n\nBe very thorough and specific and find the one you need to avoid downloading multiple codecs.  Are you getting an error message at all?  Sometimes the computer will prompt you to download the codec and eveen show you where to get it. \n\nAnother good way to find the right codec is to google the words "no audio" codec, and either the file extension/type or the application you are trying to view the movie in (i.e. Windows media player).  Chances are someone else out there is having the same problem and posted Q&A in a forum somewhere.

maybe the cd needs codec to play. Well you can download the codecs at http://www.free-codecs.net\nmaybe it's just an audio cd. not a video cd or dvd.

you need to have the proper codecs installed or correct video drivers.  Try updating your video card drivers and then update your player software.  If that still doesn't work then you can utilize software like Ace Mega Codecs Packs...it has several video and audio codecs in one easy to use installation...I'll include a link for it as well.

download gspot.\n\nIt will identify the codecs used in the film, and tell you why it is not working, and what you need to fix it.\n\nI discovered Gspot a few years ago and I can't go without it now.
