Extension Appearing Twice For AVI Files - Not Playing In VLC Media Player
Nov 22, 2012
One of my .avi files got the extension twice, not able to play in vlc media player, but it plays smooth in Windows media player. I don't now how it happened, but tried to rename it, still appears the same. When I looked in to the file properties it says the file having extension,(.avi) (.avi).!!! Thought of converting the whole file to some other format, sadly video converting program not able to open as it says unknown format!!!
I have Windows 7 Home basic service pack1, 64 bit OS. I'm not able to play FLV files using the VLC 2.0.1. I have uninstalled and reinstalled it many times but it didn't work. When I'm trying to play the files nothing is shown, not even a single error message. but no sound/display.
My windows media player is saying,indows Media Player cannot find the file. If you are trying to play, burn, or sync an item that is in your library, the item might point to a file that has been moved, renamed, or deleted.
I have VLC Portable as the default program for opening some video files, like .mp4 and .avi. And I have Foobar (portable) as the default program for .mp3.Usually the icons on .mp4, .avi, .mp3 files get updated with the icons of the assigned media players.But on this PC it's not working. They're still the same icons as if WMP was the default player.Does it have to do with the Standard user account? (Because on other PCs I run from an Admin account and I don't have such problems.)
So I have been trying to play/rip this CD I just got, but I have been having no luck at all. It will start playing the song, and continue playing the whole song, but the rest of the computer crashes so I am forced to restart. I don't get why one program would crash the whole computer like that.
I've also tried to rip the CD, and it would rip about 4 tracks and then the computer would crash and it would stop. Anyone having a similar problem or know how to fix this one? It is an imported Japanese CD by the way, not sure if that matters or not.
I've got full sound in everything else and the latest sound blaster drivers. I insert a DVD and play it in Windows Media Player or Center and I get no Audio (*shakes head).
I play the DVD in VLC and it plays and sounds fine, but the Quality of the DVD video in VLC blows.
What's the fix (and why does there need to be a fix) for Windows Media Player? You'd think Windows Media CENTER could at least play a DVD...
when i play that playlist first time, it shown the correct name, but since 4th or 5th time i played, it has shown wrong name, i don't know how to fix itplease look at "Stranger" or "Pretend",
i recently installed asus xonar dx sound card. after installing the drivers my system restarts as soon as i play any video on media player classic[K-lite codec 5.20] the videos are playing perfectly in vlc player, but when i play in media player classic my system shows blue screen and restarts.Iam using win7 x64 on quad core 8200 processor
My windows media player will play a CD for 2-3 seconds that stop. If I try to get it going again it says it has stopped responding. It used to play just fine so I can't figure out what has happened to it. I have Windows 7 and use Mozilla Firefox browser.
I'm using camstudio to record my screen and it makes it into a .avi file, but when I open it in VLC media player it's all messed up, but when I open it in windows media player it's fine. But when I try to edit it in Sony Vegas it's the same way as it was in VLC.
Somehow i lost all my mp3's in media player 12 win 7. I have tried stopping the service then restarting. I have tried rebuilding the media library. I have copied database from new user account and wmp just makes a 951 kb one under that. I have move my mp3s to a different hard drive and that didn't work when I point to that directory.I did and upgrade install and tried a restore point. I run a command to show the directory of the database files and others for wmp and deleted them and restarted the service.
I wanted to open a games downloaded through internet, but the game was not getting opened so i opened it with vlc media player, but all my other programs including microsoft office and windows getting started also got changed to vlc media player, now how to change all the programs to their original programs.
Out of nowhere, my Win7 x64 Home Professional has stopped playing .mpg files and certain website audio. The response is always "Server Execution Failed"for video files, or "Server Execution Failed
C:UsersJLSAppDataLocalTempplaylist.asx" for online streaming audio.
My experience level on this sort of thing is minimal, but I have tried removing media services (media player), rebooting, and re-installing with no success. FYI I just switched from Kaspersky to Avast, which I'm assuming should have nothing to do with my problem.
the little black arrow is there but no matter how many times I click it I can't see the recently used files.The same thing affects the taskbar menu (or whatever you call it), only these two options are available although I have watched many videos with VLC. This is happening only with VLC Media Player and IIRC only with the few latest releases of VLC (I'm now using the latest one, v.1.1.1).
i am using samsung LCD tv and it supports DLNA. I can play all the video files on my LCD tv through windows media player except .mkv format. It does play on pc and laptop but not on LCD tv. The TV does not even show .mkv files. Do i have to install something additional to play mkv files on my tv ?
I have holiday movie clips taken on my Panasonic camcorder. I have copies on both desktop pc and laptop. The files used to play ok on both pc's but will not now play on my desktop anymore. I have tried copying the ones that play ok on the laptop back to the pc but the problem still exists. I can also open the files on the desktop pc using nero quick media viwer but when I try to open with Windows Media Player I get an error message in a dialogue box saying " Windows Media Player encountered a problem while playing the file." I thought I would uninstall WMP and re-install but cannot see this as an option in control panel. I have right clicked the files and associated them with Windows Media Player but this does not help. The files show up as the Type "Movie Clip" ( .MOD Extension)
I installed Windows 7 codec ..found from Win7codecs I have some movies (avi) with DTS audio.. WMP plays the movie but not the sound. so I followed the instruction half way down from the link above. (see below) If you have DTS audio in an AVI container, follow this proceedure for playback in WMP or MC;Open the appropriate settings application . . .use the 32bit application for a 32bit player, or the x64 application for MC on x64 systemsChange the AVI splitter under the AVI TAB to Gabests splitterthen rename the AVI to MP4now your file will play.After following this instruction, WMP llibrary won't list MP4 files. I have been trying to search for a solution but without a success.
I was trying to get my Western Digital Live tv player to access my video files but I think windows wont allow it to view them.I followed the instructions for the live tv player to get the files to be shared but they don't show up in the folder when browsing the files on the live tv player menuit's a known issue a lot of people are having on western digital's forum.[URL]...chapter 6 page 35 is where it shows how to get folders and files to be shared but no one on any windows machine can get it to work.from xp to 7 the folders show up blank(empty) in the browser. however if I turn on media streaming in windows 7 I can access all my files with my media player. even though the instructions says that setting is for connecting the player to other DLNA protocol devices. but that's the only way I can access my stuff on my computer. the instructions suggest we use the "network share" route instead. but no one can get it to work.I was wondering if there is a setting in windows that needs to be adressed other than what western digital's instructions tell us to do.I know it's asking a lot out of you guys/gals if you don't have one or care about it, but I just don't understand windows 7 sharing enough to get it to work.
I use Zune and almost always use the Zune software to play my music but I also like Media Center and play music from it sometimes. So a few days ago I tried to play something on Media Center and it didn't work. I know that when you play music in Media Center on the PC it actually is using Media Player.
so I tried to play the same music in there and got a error with the code C00D11B1 I thought it was something with the Zune DRM since all my DRM protected music wouldn't play in Media Player, but this morning I turned on Copy protect during a rip just see if that would work, it didn't. So Media Player won't play any DRM music, anyone else have this problem and/or know of a fix?
Windows wont let me delete these sound files that are choking my playlists. i tried a system restore, deleting them (not a TrustedInstaller or whatever), and turning off WMP and WMS and turning it back on. they come back as an Unknown Album. Im not great at the computer thing but basically i had to erase all my music which is awful for my work day. I dont know where they came from or how they got here but im stumped
We just had a Dish Hopper installed and tried using their Home Media program which looks at Windows Media Player for music. I can play the music from 2 of my 3 computers but the 3rd one won't play.I checked the 2 computers and I can play the music from there.When I try the 3rd computer I get: The file you are attempting to play is missing or corrupt or not in a location that is currently not available?I removed WMP and had to "turn Windows Futures off" and WMP was available, the problem is it is still linked to the corrupt files.How do I remove the corrupt files and direct WMP to the correct location?
I have a Toshiba Satellite computer with a Notebook model and a Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit operating system. This laptop computer has an Intel Core i3 processor.My problem is that my Skull Candy headphones will let me hear everything except the files in my Windows Media Player. When I try to play those files, the files will play through my speakers even when the headphones are plugged into the headphone jack.When I unplug the headphones, everything works fine
After unsolvable problems with VLC player (constant crash reports) I want to move back to Windows Media Player as my standard program to play audio & video files.But whatever I click and do, I cannot find a way to (re)associate the 'VLC'-files to WMP12.If I rightclick a 'VLC'-file in a folder, I can select 'open with' and then select WMP. But only for one instance! If i want to make WMP the default opener, I get this error message: 'This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Please install a program or, if one is already installed, create an association in the default programs control panel' - Strange message, because this file HAS a default program already, I just want to change it!I have desperately been looking for an option Windows had in the past, where you can (in explorer, I think) get a list of ALL file extensions, then select which program to use to open a specific extension, then check the box
I wanted to ask if it is possible to set Windows media player to open as the default player inside media center.The reason that I ask this is that I find media center sound is very low quality. I am using it inside windows 7 ultimate X64. I also use Media Browser and have set it to use media player as an external player but it loses some functionality after something is played I have to restart media center and media Browser to play anything again because it will go back to menus but not play anything untill
