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 reinstalling your original Windows Media Player.  If that doesn't work you may try to download another version of the Windows Media Player which should include the proper codecs needed to function correctly.

Each player comes with codec (which is software) to play certain file types. If you try to play a file that the player doesn't have then it errors with cannot play becuz no codec or something like that. Try to go to the website of the player you are using and download the new codec. Or do a search for that player +codecs. Good Hunting

What you do is you have to convert you're movies to mp4 format and do it form there but i haven't tried it wiht anything but my own DVD's

Depends on the clip you are attempting to play.  It may have no image.\n\nYou may also need to download the correct codec.\n\nHope this helps!

Just make sure you have the latest codecs installed... You can do this by downloading the latest version of Windows Media Player (www.microsoft.com/windowsmedia)\n\nThe only other reason would be if some of hte other statiosn are streaming using Real Media or quicktime (then you would need those players).

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 don't seem to have the codec required to play the video file you want to see. try downloading "k lite codec pack" and see if that helps

maybe the file was corrupted or perhaps real player lacks the codecs required to play the file..try downloading the k-lite codec pack,it comes wid media player classic..after downloading and installing the codecs,u shud b able to play that file..this was the best i could think of..all luck.

you can't, mp4 is incompatible to wmv. reed this article to see what's mp4.\nhttp://all-streaming-media.com/streaming-media-faq/faq-mp4-streaming.htm

you might have an older version of windows media player and might have to download a newer one- that happened to me, but now I can watch my videos, yay!! :)

The iPod plays MPEG-4 files with either the basic MPEG-4 video codec or the more advanced H.264 codec. The standard way to do this is using QuickTime Pro which a serial you buy for QuickTime Player that enables import/export/file conversions between many formats. There you find a special Export to iPod setting which makes it just a few clicks away. However, all software that create files based on the international standard MPEG-4 will work for this conversions. There are many such programs available...here is one guide for what you are doing...\n\nhttp://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/253137
