Codesc's

[BigPimpin91]

I use to be able to watch MPEG MPG and pretty much all movies formats on WMP except .avi but that was no big deal.

All of a sudden all video files won't play on Windows Media Player.

I get an error message like this.

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.

MP3's still work but It won't even play CD's anymore.

I can't find the answer anywhere.

Anyone have an Idea as to what may be wrong?

It just stopped suddenly one day.

Worked fine and then, nope not anymore.

This has me very frustrated.

Thanks.

Just download new codecs.

I downloaded divx divx.com and it seems to give me all the needed codecs. I dont use the actual divx player however, since I prefer winamp.

x2^^ i had the same prob but i downloaded the divx codec pack and it seems to have everything i need except flv.

I installed the divx pack and restarted my computer and still nothing.

There is something odd though?

I have a file of music video's I downloaded. I tried to put those on my MP4 player, they were in MPG format, and it popped up a message along the lines of,

"Are you sure you want to copy 'filename' to this device without it's properties?"

I said yes but they didn't load up on the device when I tired to play it.

I have another file of ones I got from a burned data DVD and those are also in MPG format but went on the device without the message about properties, but they won't read either.

I guess my Player isn't compatible with MPG/MPEG files.

Here is the forum in case any of this is complicated.
