Ugrading Media Player security needs codec

To use OverDrive Media Console, I am attempting to upgrade Windows Media Player security to 2.5.0.1 and I get a message that an audio codec is required.  Any idea what codec I need or how to get what is needed?

Hi,
Here is a detailed article to describe Windows Media Player Codec:
Basics about videos and video codecs in Windows Media Player

  • From media player to quicktime

    I have a G5 and Final Cut , i have to edit some clips that i have but they are in Windows media player , i need to convert them in to Quick time .... pleas help

    Try the WMP codecs from Flip4Mac.
    For future questions, you'll be more likely to get quick and accurate answers if you ask in the QuickTime for Macintosh forum.

  • Captivate 6.0.1 published MP4 play with windows media player

    Hi
    Pls help.
    I publish my Software Simulation to MP4 without any error.  Then I play this MP4 with Windows Media Player. I could only hear the audio but the video is all black.  The review works well.  Does anyone have any idea?
    Thank you!
    Rgds, YYY

    Try viewing your MP4 in a different player to see if it works there.  For example, the Adobe Media Player is a free application that you can insatll and use.  It's more likely to be compatible with Adobe-created video than Windows Media Player.
    Your Windows Media Player may need updated codecs to decode and display the Captivate MP4 video.

  • Using Flash Media player to play files run from a database

    Hello all,
    I have a dynamic webpage which is connected to a MySQL
    database displaying dynamic information stored in a MySQL table.
    One additional field I have added is a 'video' field in which
    the path to a flash video file is displayed.
    I have a number of user (each user corresponds to a row in
    the table) pictures which are stored in a folder, but the paths to
    which are stored in the database.Using Dreamweaver, I can drag the
    dynamic binding onto the image place holder and then it will lift
    the corresponding image from the table, but the flash video player
    doesn't seem to allow me to do this.
    I would like to do something similar for flash videos, but
    I'm not sure how to do it. Whenever I add a flash movie through the
    media player I need to specify the path - which will change
    depending on what entry in the table is being viewed.
    I have created my websites only with dreamweaver and can't
    program which probably explains why I've got no idea what to do.
    Hope I made sense - will gladly clarify or send you my code.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
    Adam

    Make sure that your database has the full path and that you
    are tetsing in
    the browser. You won't be able to see anything in DW

  • WirelessLan/Media Player

    I plan to buy wireless Media Player PRISMIQ or NMP-4000.   I have one Mega 180 with AMD XP 2500+. In order to watch video smoothly with wireless media player I need fast data flow. IEEE802.11b which is installed in Mega 180 is not fast enough.  So I need IEEE802.11g. How can I installed .11g and which card can I install and has anybody done it before?
    Thanks

    Yezzzz, works like a charm, 54mbit is up and running
    The card is a Intel Pro 2200BG.
    The black cable (antenna) connected to the card was a bit short
    because the card is smaller, but easy to reroute it.
    Took a pic of it, after it was installed.
    http://home.tiscali.no/dstructr/Mega1.JPG
    Also lapped my heatsink while i had it out:
    http://home.tiscali.no/dstructr/Mega2.JPG
    I also flipped the fan direction (flipped each fan).
    Mrmario64 tip'ed me on this, sucking cold air from the outside and in.
    Instead of warm air out.
    Looks pretty sweet instead of 58-60 degrees idle it's 48-50 idle.
    Seems to be working .

  • I am getting an error saying "Your computer doesn't seem to support any version of Media Player". When I look at my list of plugins I do see that I have Window Media Player Firefox Plugin 1.0.0.8. Why am I getting this error?

    I am trying to load a page & I get the error "Your computer doesn't seem to support any version of Media Player". I then go to the tools & to add ons & to plugins. There under the plugins is Windows Media Player Firefox Plugin 1.0.0.8. It is enabled. My question is what does this error mean? Do I have the Media Player I need or not?

    Notes:
    1) Please use the code tags when posting code or JNLP/HTML. It helps to retain indentation and avoids asterisks and plus sings being interpreted as formatting marks. To do that, select the code/JNLP etc. and click the CODE button seen on the Plain Text tab of the message posting form.
    2) That launch file is invalid. You might check it (and the project in general) using JaNeLA.
    3) The only place that SimpleSerial class could be, that the JRE would find, is in the root of aeon.jar. Is it actually there?

  • WD TV Live HD media player keeps crashing when trying to play a recent *.mvk movie

    I am new to this community and I would like some help with the following issue please?
    I have a WD TV LiveHD media player with the following details:
    Firmware version     1.06.43_V
    P/N                              WDAAP0000NBK-00
    S/N                              [Deleted]
    I use this device as a standalone media player; connected to an WD external HD via USB cable and connected to a Sony TV with a HDMI cable.
    Recently I have downloaded some new movies (.mkv extension). When I navigate to the folder and select the file to play; it tries to play it, displays information of the length of the movie in hours, minutes and seconds and simultaneously crashes. It does reboot again after couple of minutes; however any additional attempt will result in the same outcome. Device has no problems with the old files (i.e. movies from 2014).
    I have performed a hard reset, deleted the .wdtv folder, etc. with no luck...
    Thank you all in advance.

  • I cannot view video on Windows Media Player...Seems I need to install a "Codec".......which one?

    I cannot view any video sent to me or by me on Windows Media Player.  Seems that I need to install a "Codec"......but which one and where do I find this?  In doing some reasearch, I noted that one must be careful to install the correct one.  I am not happy that this was not included in my PC when I purchased it.  I am using Windows 7 on  HP Pavilion dv6-3133nr Entertainment Notebook, if that is of any help.  Please....any info?

    gramaof6,
    I would be inclined to install VLC from Filehippo website, as I use VLC on all my PC clients for DVDs. Please find the link below for further information.

  • Installd Ffox 3.6.15. Redo Flash AGAIN? How can I: Tweak 2 fix plugin-container crashes/hangs10X/day,and 2) Avoid need to reinstall Java, Flash,& other media plugins(Flash, Realplayr/Quiktime Alternative, Media Player Classic)? Ffox fan

    plugin-container crashes and hangs many times daily all my time eaten up by upgrading too frequently to new Ffox versions, only to find that I must then spend a whole day jumping thru hoops upgrading almost all of my add-ons too.
    I now find, to my horror, that the hideous virus-magnet IE 8 is needed if I want to surf at a reasonable speed and not spend all day dealing with Ffox new versions' Known Issues. Only good thing I have seen about ver. 3.6.15 is slightly better launch-times. Since 3.6 cane out, I must spend 10 minutes just waiting for Firefox to load and give me a browser screen. Help! I love you guys, but your core browser developers need to have better comms with the Javaa/flash/Adobe and other must-have add-on people! And PLEASE fix all these "plugin-container" crashes and hangs I get, that lock my machine for 10-15 min at a time. Not everybody has 16 gigs of RAM, you know! I think the "plugin-container" running as a separate process idea might need to be COMPLETELY re-engineered! YOU CAN DO IT! LET'S GET BACK TO LEAN AND MEAN, and not bloat ourselves off our hard-won User Preference / great security pedestal with the kind of feature-creep that IS DEMOLISHING IE's slave-userbase with the hard-won advanced-user preference for Firefox
    and our core values. FAST-LEAN-SECURE.
    Where have they gone? I LOVE Firefox
    and all it stands for! Let's not trip
    over our own features here. Already I
    see SeaMonkey and leaner, faster
    browsers hot on our heels, THIN and
    FAST! Firefox doesn't need to integrate
    with EVERY thru-the-browser media tool
    on the planet! I've been writing code
    since 1968, and I can't imagine how a
    lesser-experienced user (that code
    should be written for) could possibly
    have navigated all the side-upgrades
    and Known Issues to make Firefox run as
    sweetly as it used to! He'd just give
    up when he finds he has to separately
    find and install the EXACT 3rd-party
    version that Firefox needs for its
    newest release: things like a new Java
    runtime environment, and hunt down and
    correctly install ALL the Flaming-Phox-
    compatible buggy plugins from half the
    browser-media warezmakers on the
    PLANET! He'd give up halfway thru trying to navigate to, D/L, and install
    what he needs from Oracle Java, Adobe,
    Flash, media players and their codecs,
    etc etc.... WRITE FOR THE NOOBS! As it
    is, I have invested 2 full workdays in
    just keeping your last 2 quick releases
    happy. And having another release spaced only 3-4 days apart from the
    last- well, that just doesn't fly.
    Better to release a hotfix or patch that a user can set FFox to automatically D/L and self-install on
    schedule. Just look! Now you've got me
    talking like that lawbreaking swine
    Gates! We want to keep on absorbing
    the average-user center and take it ALL
    away from him, not go on feature,
    plugin, and upgrade-bloating the best
    browser EVER!
    You're facing choices that can kill
    us! PLEASE DONT BLOAT! AND PLEASE ONLY
    RELEASE A NEW VER WHEN YOU CAN REALLY
    GET RID OF SERIOUS PROBLEMS AND MAKE
    HER FASTER AND LEANER AND BETTER UNDER
    THE HOOD! Already the Noobs are getting
    mindlessly scared when you talk about
    "fixing a Security problem"- really a
    minor issue that SHOULD be taken care
    of by their antimalware solution- in
    the Release Notes splash screen they
    get on install of a new ver! Thanks, my
    friends, for all your work, and YES I
    WILL sit here all day trying to find
    the add-ons that need to be selected,
    downloaded, and upgraded from 10
    different 3rd-party sites who are
    fighting our browser, not dancing with
    it! DON'T EVEN LOOK Evil! But I have
    to confess that at this point, Gates-hate is all that keeps me on
    these all-day new-release tasks. Even
    my best techs are starting to advise me
    to install SeaMonkey or another of the
    newer, thinner browsers... or just stop
    upgrading Firefox and roll it back to
    when it was sharp, fast, and lean! Look
    at all the users wanting to go back to
    3.6.13 or earlier and looking for archives of old versions. THANKS AND
    GOOD LUCK! I'LL DIE BEFORE I GIVE UP ON
    MY BELOVED FIREFOX!
    -The CRASHMAN, ATTORNEY AT LAW

    Thanks! I've already used the built-in plugin checker but it gives very vague answers like (research this" and update this" all of which I did, starting with Java and Flash, Adobe Reader, Shockwave, 100% reinstall of Java newest ver. TWICE- but FFox keeps reporting that I only have the FORMER version installed, although when I go to Java console or Check the Flash executable at the MFR's site, there is NO doubt that the updates were successful!
    But the browser just seems to refuse to acknowledge the update!
    And I don't HAVE 6 hrs/day at the 'puter just to play with add-ons
    and plugups. So I'm going down the line now, ripping out extension
    programs and replacing/reinstalling/updating the plugins one by
    one- even went to M$ to get advice on THEIR For-Firefox ActiveX
    stuff. No dice so far. And yeah, The plugin-container WAS made so
    that a plugin, add-on or I guess extension app failure wouldn't take
    the whole FF browser down with it if the 3rd-party ware crashed. It's supposed to shake it off and go on, kinda like how XP sometimes
    restarts Explorer (not the IE browser) so I don't have to reboot the
    whole sys.
    That was the foundation of my remark about stepping back and
    re-engineering the whole "Plugin-container" idea, because it seems
    to do more harm than good. Maybe that's why the Firefox core
    engine won't recognize my upgrades- for example I TWICE installed the Flash update to 10.2.xx (latest ) and the Flash Mfr's
    site verifies my upgrade as a successful 10.2, but Firefox plugins
    check say I have a 10.1, the old one. What gives here? The sneaky
    PLUGIN CONTAINER, METHINKS!
    Now I'm disabling things on the Extensions Apps list, thinking
    that might help, like disabling my video downloader and other
    download helpers/managers... and I notice that there is a LOT of
    Java stuff in there too as well as in the blue Lego Plugins List... and
    in the past the FFox always told me if a new version of Ffox was
    incompatible with any older 3rd-party app Extensions and notified
    me QUICKLY if something I had in there was Outdated. I'm big on
    using the neat-o "find updates" button at the bottom if that happens, and usually get a newer version right away. The prob
    really lies in the Blue Lego Plugins and their new Container, I
    believe.
    So Ill still keep Plugin-innin' away! Will post here what success I have! (OR maybe M$ is deliberately sabotaging our ActiveX-cripple
    mess as it loads!) Thanks for the suggestions a37271!
    FIND UPDATE...FIND UPDATE.. ALL OK..ALL OK.....

  • Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The Player might not support the file type or might not support the codec that was used to compress the file

    Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The Player might not support the file type or might not support the codec that was used to compress the file
    How do I fix this?

    That would probably be a question best taken up in on a site for Windows support questions. Not knowing anything about the movie you're trying to play, all I can suggest is to confirm that the format of the movie you wish to play is supported in your version of WMP. If it isn't, you'll either need to convert the movie or use some other player software.
    Regards.

  • Running into a Codec problem while trying to view recorded video in windows media player.

    Hi - I am new to this so please be gentle.
    I have been given a wvc200. I have set it up on my network and have it set to record motion. after it has recorded a file, and if  I go to view the file, my computer launches the file with Windows Media Player. as WMP is trying to open the file, I get an error message saying "An audio codec is needed to play this file. To determine if this codec is available to download from the Web, click Web Help." I have folled the directions and have installed the Sharp G.726 Audio (45) codec that WMP is looking for but it is still asking for the codec. Any suggestions?  Thank you so much for your time.
    PS I am running Vista on a Quad core with WMP version 11.0.6000.6344

  • Windows Media Player codec

    I often use compressor to export my FCP project to m2v (use default setting), then import into studio pro to make DVD.
    I know on PC, VLC is the one of the best player to play most of kind of video files including DVD.
    However, I happened to have many client who isn't really computer savy, they expect to play DVD we produce for them with windows media player.
    The problem I ran into is, WMP will says "incomptatible codec" to play the DVD.
    I have several PCs, that will play the DVD with WMP, however, they usually already installed winDVD player...
    Assuming, those player include codec that will play DVD.
    Since such a player (winDVD, powerDVD..etc) usually cost money, I was looking for a free codec to play DVD with WMP.
    I tried k-lite codec pack, which I read it will work on WMP, however, I didn't have any luck to be able to play....
    Does anyone know if there is specific codec I need to be able to play DVD on window media player on PC??

    Thanks, Gary Scotland, for the reply.
    The problem is, many of our client is not very technology savvy and they expect all the video to play on their PC's WMP.
    Since they complained our DVD doesn't play on their machine, we provided them wmv format video, and VLC player to them to view them with explaining WM player is not a DVD player.
    If I figure out exactly what codec WM Player needs to be able to VOB video, it'd be very helpful, and that was reason why I posted this thread.
    I did try google them and search for them.. and test out on several PC that in our office, and one works on the particular codec I installed, but it doesn't work on the others...
    I know if we installed WinDVD/PowerDVD, then, there will be no problem to play DVD on WMP, however, they are all paid software/player...(don't think we want to pay the player for every client). I'm more looking for "THE CODEC".
    I hope this make sense...
    Thanks again.

  • In need of a flash/html5/quicktime audio/video media player for a website

    Hello everybody,
    I'm looking to get some kind of audio/video media player for a website. I would like it to be customizable, and also most likely read a play list from some kind of text file or xml file.
    Normally, I would look for some kind of flash media player, but recently the site might be read from Apple mobile devices also, which of course not flash which might be a problem, so I'm also looking into other options such as some kind of QuickTime media player web application or even html5 player.
    I do not personally know how to code in flash or HTML 5, so I would be willing to hire someone to help out.
    Is HTML 5 for long enough that it would play on most current browsers? I would imagine that HTML 5 might not work on older browsers–is this correct?
    I don't know of any QuickTime media players - any links to get me started?
    Does anyone know some solutions to this flash / apple issue?

    Looks like you are getting a very good lesson in why Flash is the best choice for a Web media player.... plentilful, easily customizable, and is a "right now" solution. Good luck on getting your viewers to download and install the codex need to play an Ogg video!
    To add the extra accessabilty for the iPhone etc, use swfobject to provide an alternative video file type... the .mov
    Here is an example of a Flash video that plays on the iPhone (well sort of..):
    http://www.cidigitalmedia.com/tutorials/qt/play_qt.html
    Using swfobject for Flash detection, if the Web browser has the Flash plugin, the Flash .flv video is displayed, if not, the QT, .mov version is displayed.
    View the source code for more exact details.
    If the Web browser does not have the Flash plugin, alternate content is displayed, which in this case happens to be a QT player, which displays a .mov video. In this case it's just a single video. Now maybe you have a QT player with playlist... but let me tell you.. they are a lot rarer than Flash media players with playlists, xml playlist, etc.... Strong case for Flash here..
    But your alt content could just as easily hold a QT media player (with playlist) if such an animal exists.

  • Flash media player in my browser resets security/privacy settings!

    Why do the last three versions of flash media player in my browser reset my security and privacy settings leaving my system totally vunerable???  I have set and reset multiple times both locally and on the global settings panel on the Adobe web site.

    Reguardless of what is "encoded" into Shockwave Flash streaming player the fact that the settings default back to accept update notifications, allow peer to peer sharing, and storage settings still exist since the last several program updates.
    http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager02.htm l
    All programs have been updated, re-installed to all current versions. Checked everyday the player will reset anywhere from one to five days from being set. I also check before and after any utilities run on my systems to verify the change is not caused by any resident commands or software. Yes this happens on different computers and OS.
    I run all maintenance and security manually, including updates of any kind.
