Videora isn't working with WMV's, Cucusoft's trial is working but the crack isn't, and I can't find anything else. Help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Try downloading Xilisoft Video Converter. It will convert just about any movie file to .MOV or .MP3 for use with the iPod. Granted, it costs money to get the full version, but seeing as you mentioned something about a crack in your question, I'm assuming you know ways around that. :)

What type of source files are you trying to use?  WMM works best with .wmv and DV-AVI files.  Other types like .mpg, Divx/Xvid/MPEG-4, QuickTime(MOV), etc. cause problems.  The answer is to convert these files before using them in WMM.\n\nA good source for details on importing source files is www.papajohn.org > Import Movie Source Files > Video.  Look under the type of file you are trying to import and edit.

It should happen in real time.  Give or take...\n\nYou may want to try a different media player to the one you're using - VLC is free and quite good.  Also, is your graphics card a current model with the latest drivers? You should also deactivate all utility software during the process - virus checks, background moitors etc.

an m1v file is basically an mpeg1 file.  you can try playing it in a different app like quicktime or whatnot.  Or maybe even change the extension to mpg or mpeg and see if that works.

Try playing the file(s) in vlc (http://www.videolan.org).  This will play almost anything.\n\nYou say you have all the updated codecs, but it still sounds like you're missing something.  Try getting the Gordian Knot codec pack at http://www.free-codecs.com/download/Gordian_Knot_Codec_Pack.htm\n\nIf it still doesn't play, then maybe there's a problem with the files themselves (did you download these files?).  Good luck :)

I've been getting the same problem too using QuickTime Pro to convert .avi or .mov files to .mp4.  I've found it's really hit or miss with the conversion.  If one file doesn't convert,  I have to go find another that will convert.  Sorry if that's not much help, but I'm glad to know I'm not the only one!  haha

I have been asking what this was for awhile now. Finally, I deleted Windows Media Player totally off my computer and re-downloaded it, as well I "saved to computer" and now mine works just fine. Good luck!

Hi,\n\nWhat I would suggest for your issue is to download the VLC software. It's great and already has all the codecs you need. I'm using it and every-time I've got a video to watch It works with that latter.\n\nSo you can go to : http://www.download.com (and search for "VLC") and click on the latest one : "VLC Media Player".\n\nThere you go !!! Have a nice day.\n\nMichael.

First of all, try playing using VLC Player. If it dosen't work, then please post another question. I'll reply then, based on the symptoms of the problem. VLC stands apart from other player in the category of mutlimedia players. VLC Media Player offers a one-stop solution for the file-format problem. The program supports playback of OGG, MP2, MP3, MP4, DivX, DVD, and a whole slew of other file types. In addition, it also can function as a streaming media server. Because of its open-source foundation, VLC Media Player evolves quickly, with new features and fixes released frequently. Though the interface varies from platform to platform, the sparseness of the Windows version leaves plenty to be desired. \n\nThe best part is that it can even play parts of corrupted files, which other player cannot do. Even if you don't have codecs of a particular file format, it will play it.\n\nIts also very light on memory and the processor.\n\nThe only con of this player is that its interface is too plain, no sophistication, not that good a GUI. But if you are looking for some serious Mutimedia playing, this is right for the job.\n\nYou can download it from:\nhttp://www.download.com/VLC-Media-Player/3003-2194_4-10410655.html?tag=tab_rev\n\nFor a good list of comparisons, check out :\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_media_players

One of the tools you can use for conversion to avi is asftools (you can find it at geocities.com/myasftools). The results from it are usually mixed. It’s mostly codec dependent. If your wmv file uses one of the older asf codecs (MS-MPEG 4 v1, 2, or 3, Duck TrueMotion, Vivo H.263, VDOWave, MS H.263, or ClearVideo) then it will probably work. If the wmv file uses one of the more modern codecs like windows media video 7, 8, or 9, or windows media screen 7 or 9, it’s unlikely to work (I’ve had a few work with wmv 7, but I could only play the avi in windows media player 9, not 6.4!) \nFor conversion to mpeg use tmpgenc (the free version is at tmpgenc.net, not .com). You will need to make minor modification for tmpgenc to be able to read wmv files: go to options, then click environmental settings. then on the vfapi plugin tab right click 'directshow multimedia file reader' and choose higher priority. set the priority to 4 or something. (credits to FrightfoO for originally posting the tip) \n\n\nyou also can try winavi video converter which can be got from http://www.winavi.com . It can convert wmv files to avi and mpg with stunning video and audio quality. Most of all, the converting speed is amazingly fast. \n\nThere’s probably other tools out there; to find them just keep googling

Try any of the following:\n\nWrong CodDecs:\n\nThere are lots of movie formats. The most popular ones are .avi, .mov. wmv, .asf and .mpg. \n\n.avi = DivX --> www.divx.com\n.mov=QuickTime format --> www.apple.com/quicktime/\n.wmv, .asf and mpg are native to Windows Media Player.\n\nJust download the right codecs from the sites I specified. :D\n\nWrong Players:\n\nUse the right players for the format you're trying to play. Do note that if you have the CoDecs installed then Windows Media Player would do.\n\nReally, really, really old display cards:\n\nThis is a bit far out, but if you're using really old display cards, like the 4bit ones like the old SiS or S3 cards. You ran a chance of the movies not playing. Especially if you're running them in 800 x 600 resolution. Your hardware can't accomodate that load. If this is the case, please change your display card.\n\nReally, really, really old monitors:\n\nSame case with the old display cards, old monitors won't do it either. Change your monitors.\n\nDrivers for your display card:\n\nYou might be using drivers supplied by your OS. Try downloading the correct driver for your display card be it 98, XP, Linux whatever. :D Hope this helps.

You need to reconstruct the videos PROVIDING THEY ARE LEGAL AND NOT VIOLATING ANY COPYRIGHT LAWS. You cannot play just a Info file.....\nTry using the DIVX player for the Mpg4 vids...\nhttp://www.divx.com this will also install the DIVX codec with your windows mediaplayer.

Greetings,\n\nI found the program My Video Screen Saver 1.0 which is for for Windows XP/2000/ME/98/NT/95 that should be able to run your videos. It's freeware and compatible with *.avi, *.mpg, *.mpeg, and *.wmv files. I have used this program on my own computer and it runs a *.avi beautifully with no issues at all in screensaver mode.\n\nTo download and install this program, go to http://www.tcsoftdev.com/downloads.htm\n\nClick on the download link for the file "myvideoss.scr" and save the screen saver file to a folder such as "My Documents".  Then right click on the file and select "Install". After installing it, you will be able to go to the Screen Savers tab in Display Properties and configure this screensaver.\n\nGood luck and enjoy!

i havent used WMM, I use pinnacle studio 10, but this is a general computer question so it should be universal.\n\nWhen you burn to CD, your final creation, what format did you output it to?\nVCD, SVCD?\n\nWhich means you properly prepared it for either a dvd player or even something like a play station.\n\nA few considerations that might impede your ability to play the video. First, the CD might not have given a good burn, or could be incompatible with your dvd playing device.\n\nSome older DVD players will not accept either the CD+R CD-R.\nI havent run into this type of question for quite some time.  But I do recall that older players had problems with one of the disk formats.\nso theres a potential problem there.  I believe the older format was CD+R, in which case those players wouldnt properly read CD-R, or vice versa\n\nWhat format you saved or did not convert it to could be another problem.  And, depending on if you verified the data and you did not have any BufferOverruns or errors then that could prevent the vcd from playing.\n\nNow if you just burned it to as WMA or kept it as an Avi file, and you did not convert it, then that could be your problem right there.\n\nYou will need to either create a VCD or SVCD disk, otherwise all you did was copy and burn that creates a disk that can only be ready in another computer.\n\nIf you want to to be able to see the disk without worrying about formating it, or nothing like that , you would have to check the inputs on your model television set, and see if it has an S-Video connection, or even just the RCA colored connectors.\n\nIf it does then theres a few little devices that will allow you to see whats on your computer on your TV -- basically turns your TV into one big monitor--you could even work or play games using your TV this way. \nDAZZLE is one, and even walmart has a DVDEXPRESSDK2 device that does the same thing.  However I like the Dazzle Platinum - has good software.\n\nAnyhoo.  what this device does is it conects to your computer's USB port, and connects to your TV's s-video or RCA jacks.\nthere you go, whats on your computer monitor now shows on your TV.\n\nNow I have never tried this, but say you only have an old TV with nothing but the cable connector in the back, as its only connection. Well...\nThere is something called an RF-Modulator that will change a cable connector into the S-Video and the RCA (red white yellow connections) and you could IN THEORY connect the two devices together(the Dazzle and the Modulator) and there you have it.\nThe poor mans way to work around and turn your old TV into a computer monitor where you can watch your newly created photo album with music with ease.\n\nThats the best info I can come up with on th subject.\nHope it helps some someone.

I agree with allowing it to download 100% before trying to play, I would also try video at a different site. What kind of video card and how much system memory do you have?
