Can't play videos on Windows Media Player from Xperia z3

I have recorded som videos and while trying to load them onto my computer via USB some show up and others just play the sound without the video?
Can anyone help with this problem?

Hi Gearld, welcome to the community!
I would advise transferring the files through PC Companion using the Media Go app like Phy has suggested & also playing the videos through VLC player rather than Windows Media Player as this VLC player can read a large number of formats and is most likely to play your videos smoothly.

  • CS4 using a Mac and want to play video using windows media player

    Hi I am having issues with file types to play video back using Windows media player.
    I am producing video using Premiere CS4 on a Mac and I need to know what format to use to have the files play in windows media player as .mp4 is not compatable with wm player.
    Thanks

    I have Windows Media Player installed on my PC workstation and I do remember installing a codec so that MP4 files could play in WMPlayer 11 on Windows Vista 64-bit (should work on 32-bit also)
    look near the bottom section of this link for further information.  The codec is called DirectShow
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/316992#34
    Otherwise if you're posting videos on a webpage for example in the mp4 format use the Quicktime html wrapper so that people using Mac's can also view your videos that are encoded for PC's.  If you encode in wmv format (Windows Media Video) then provide a link to the "Flip4Mac" application that can use Quicktime on the Mac to play Windows Media Files.  I think you can find it on www.mactopia.com .

  • Playing video in Windows Media Player

    Ok I know, I'm the dreaded Windows user in the Apple forum. But I have good questions and as soon as I can afford it I'm getting an Apple laptop.
    Why can't I play the videos I downloaded in Windows Media Player 10? I'm pretty sure it's because I don't have a codec to play a .m4v file but where can I get one? Any help?
    Thanks all

    Bravo!
    EDIT: I miread your post. I'll renanswer differently this time.
    Why can't I play the videos I downloaded in Windows Media Player 10? I'm pretty sure it's because I don't have a codec to play a .m4v file but where can I get one? Any help?
    Because Windows media is competing technology. Since there's no real video "standard", different manufacturers use their own proprietary formats whenever they can.
    Depending on the video files you have, you might be able to convert them into some format that can be played on the iPod or in iTunes.
    Since I'm not a Windows user, I am not familiar with the format of videos downloaded using WMP.
    Try to look for a converter that will put your videos into one of the following formats:
    H.264 video: up to 768 Kbps, 320 x 240, 30 frames per sec., Baseline Profile up to Level 1.3 with AAC-LC up to 160 Kbps, 48 Khz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4 and .mov file formats
    MPEG-4 video: up to 2.5 mbps, 480 x 480, 30 frames per sec., Simple Profile with AAC-LC up to 160 Kbps, 48 Khz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4 and .mov file formats
    If you can get your video into one of the above two formats, it will work just fine on the iPod.
    Many conversion utilities have been mentioned in these forums. I believe Videora iPod Converter is popular amongst Windows users. I can't recommend it, since I have no experience with it. I just see it mentioned a lot. Seems users have had mixed results using it.

  • How can i play music in windows media player and wmp format?

    I am trying to preview songs off online music stores such as barnes and noble and borders stores. but i am unable to do so. I get the message "mime type aplication don't have a plug-in intalled for this mim type, it can't be displayed". i downloaded flip4mac and tried playing to but it doesn't work. All the online previews I have com across aren't playing on my mac. Help!

    Download and use StuffIt Expander to open the file; if you choose to throw away Windows Media Player later, press the Option key while emptying the Trash.
    The Windows Media content in question may contain DRM, in which case there is no Mac software that will play the songs.

  • Opening a video in Windows Media Player

    How do you open a video in Windows Media Player?
    The video I'm trying to open in Windows Media Player is an
    avi file.
    I noticed that in the Authorware 7 book, it says to simply
    add a
    wmp after "avi". For ex: myvideo.avi.wmp
    It then says to place or import that file onto Authorware
    (the flowline).
    However when I play it to view, it does not open in Windows
    Media
    Player. Can someone help me with this problem?
    Thank you.

    Yes it did. Thanx Erik. Appreciate it.

    Do NOT use the video icon. As has been stated here a few
    times, that is
    ONLY for playing the movie INside Authorware.
    If you want to play a movie OUTside Authorware, you use the
    JumpOUTReturn function, NOT the JumpFILEReturn function.
    Your folder setup is good.
    So with that folder setup, assuming 'myvideo.avi' is in the
    same folder
    as your Authorware file, just do:
    JumpOutReturn("", FileLocation^"myvideo.avi")
    That work for you?

  • How can i take screenshots in windows media player

    How can i take  screenshots in windows media player.

    If you mean "encrypted", the running Windows Media Player or Windows Media
    Center IN a window and not full screen may allow you to take a screen shot of
    the desktop in its entirety. That can be cropped to just the content wanted.
    Here is an example

    How can I transfer playlist in Windows Media Player to me I Pad mini?

        Great question Rosa.Lee! Music is definitely a priority for my wireless device. From your PC, you can drag music to iTunes and it will automatically format. Then you can connect your iPad and sync.

  • RE: export to play on a windows media player

    I am forced by the IT department to put a video onto windows media player, Which format works the best, I want to share a 15 min video over the net. ANY help or advice would be appreciated. I have tried AVI but the video looks like crap, compared to QT.

    Thanks so much for all your responses.
    I will trial the two programmes that have been mentioned - in terms of streaming .asf I am still in the dark as to the best way to proceed.
    Would you all recommend converting first to a WMV file and then using a PC and related software to convert to .ASF - as I would have to do with Flip4Mac
    Or... using software that will convert directly from .MOV to .ASF on a Mac - as the Aimersoft programme seems to suggest it does?
    Thanks once again - I have been really impressed and really grateful with how quick these forums are to help people out!

  • I definitely have put this under the wrong catergory but i don't care, I was wondering why everytime i click on a video to play it says: Windows media player has stopped working

    Ok, so I made a video with Bandicam, and every time I click on it to play it (it is saved as an MP4), it just says: Windows Media Player has stopped working. Then it gives me two choices: Close the program OR look online for a solution. I REALLY want to
    post these videos, but I can't. If anyone could help that would be great!

    Hi juderocks14,
    Please first take a check with the other Players and see if they could play the MP4 file normally. If it can't be played, which means it might be corrupted. You may ask at the Bandicam side, or save the files again.
    If issue insists, take a try with the Troubleshooter (For Windows 7, 8 and 8.1):
    Open the Windows Media Player Settings troubleshooter
    Fix Windows Media Player video, and other media or library issues
    Or you may try to turn Windows Features on or off to reset Windows  Media Player:
    Turn Windows features on or off (Before turn it on again, please remember to reboot first)
    More reference:
    What happens if I turn off Windows Media Player?

    Yes. Use the iTunes command File > Add Folder to Library and point it to the folder where the music is stored. Start with one folder so you can see how it works. iTunes will add whatever is compatible.

    iTunes is only designed to sync Apple devices. However, the songs in your iTunes library can be used for other purposes. Follow the instructions that came with your player.

  • Play Vodcast in Windows Media Player format on Apple TV

    I would like to view a video podcast (can only play on RealPlayer or Windows Media Player) on my Apple TV and iMac. How can I make this work?
    Michiel

    Yeah, try Flip4Mac. If you want, post a link to the vodcast and we can see if it plays thru F4M, but it probably will. F4M is the way to view WMV content on a Mac now....WM Player is no longer supported by Microsoft for Mac's.

  • Problem in stretching video using windows media player control

    Hello
    I am using windows media player 9 and set the stretchtofit property to true.But when I play a video of size 256X192 on a window media control player whose width and height is set to 640 and 384 respectively I find black areas on left and right side of video.My system has windows 2000 and is set to 1280X720 resolution.I am using labview 7.0.
    If anybody encountered the same problem or any suggestion please help to solve the problem.
    Veena

    Are you sure that this property means that the image is "stretched"? It might mean that if the video size is X and the control's size is 2X, the picture will be stretched to fit the control without losing the aspect ratio. I know that the regular WMP does not stretch images. You can easily test this by playing a file smaller than the control and setting the property to F. You can also search google\Microsoft for the WMP SDK.
