chances are you don't have up to date codecs installed on your computer...my advice is to not use WMP and download the free VLC player. it doesn't require codecs and is capable of playing every type of file i've encountered

try running the new .wmv file (in windows media player) and see if it plays well, just to make sure that the conversion has been done correctly and that the new .wmv file contains your video data....

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.

If the initial picture comes up on screen, and it's a divx file, try using divx player. If still doesn't play, give up. Divx files tend to have problems with video on older comps. Otherwise right click on the screen, check the video properties, that will give you the reason for the error and/or the codec that's required

Don't bother finding out. If you can't play a certain video file or you can only play the audio part of the video, you certainly lack the necessary codecs to play the video properly. Just download the K-Lite Codec Pack. It is free. With it you can play any video almost, even Quicktime, realplayer videos and Windows video files. Go here:\nhttp://www.free-codecs.com/download/K_Lite_Codec_Pack.htm

Most likely you have a codec issue.  To see what codec may need updating right click the file and select properites.  The info you need to find the updates should be listed under the first tab.  Now you can go to this site to see if that codec is avaliable from Microsoft by using this link.  http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/forpros/codecs/codecs.aspx  If it isn't try yahoo search to find the codec.  A more popular one you can try is DivX avaliable from http://www.divx.com  Hope this helps God Bless.

Try to find out what the Codec is. Sometimes the video maybe a dummy without a header code, thus being generally unplayable by any computer.\n\nI suggest if you know anything about PC programming, get a HEX editor and check the header code for the Codec format. That takes a lot of work and I only suggest it if you have no other option. P2P programs like Limewire are becoming increasingly less helpful now that the media bigwigs are cramping down on us.

You may need a new/different CODEC. \nTry XP CODEC pack : http://www.xpcodecpack.com/\n\nOr, if you're using Windows Media Player, try updating your CODECS by going to Tools --> Options --> Player --> click once a day and Download Automatically.\n\nPersonally, I'd use XP codec pack. It's free, stable, and covers a whole lot of codecs not used by Microsoft.\n\nGood Luck.

You need to download the DivX codec that Windows Media Player provides, just click Web Help and find it. I had the same problem.

their answer doesn't seem solve your problem? i think that there's something to be fixed with your registry errors. first, download: http://www.freewarefiles.com/program_9_100_9367.html\ninstall this free registry fixer, scan your system, then you can delete all the green tags in the results.\n\nthen uninstall all the codecs you have previously installed, because they are causing more problems than good resolution to your player (just retain the windows codecs installation package from microsoft.com); then restart your pc, then run TweakNow RegCleaner once more, then reinstall WMP 10 (i prefer this most stable version than WMP 11), be sure that your windows updates are really up to date by checking on microsoft.com\n\nif this solve your problem, then you owe me 10 points for my answer, thanks! good luck!

To make the long story short, first uninstall your Windows Media Player, from  add/remove windows components, in your control panel. Once you have donde so go to http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/mp10/default.aspx and download it and install it again. This should take care of the problem, and avoid you further waste of time,\n\nGood Luck!

Windows Media can be a bit temperamental at times.  Try one of these:\n\n1. Update your codecs (http://www.cole2k.net/?display=Codec-Pack-Advanced) or download the latest Windows Media Player codecs from microsoft.com\n\n2. Upgrade to Windows Media Player 11\n(http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/11/default.aspx)\n\n3. Download VLC player - This is an excellent media player that plays almost all video file formats:  http://www.videolan.org/vlc/\n\nGood Luck!

If u have all the right codecs it could be   that your video player is broken....try using another player like mplayer..u can get it from http://www.mplayerhq.hu/design7/dload.html  if  that doesn't work,maybe your video card is broken,and you should replace it...but sometimes,it just that Windows it's working badly  a nd  you need   to reinstall it

I would suggest downloading and installing the k-lite codec pack. http://www.free-codecs.com/K_Lite_Codec_Pack_download.htm It contains nearly every codec, if not actually every one. Since getting it I have not run into a single audio or video file I couldn't play.
