Ive had this working perfectly until two nights ago.Under Windows 7 HP 64 bit im trying to play back my HD .mov files and while WMP12 will play them without reporting any errors, the screen is a mess. Lots of colour bars, squares etc. Even the control bar is covered in this visual mess.The files themselves are fine and will play perfectly in VLC, MPC and in fact any other media player i have installed.
View 9 RepliesAs I go thru my library, I occasionally notice that I will have doubles of a lot of my files and go through each one and delete the extras. For some reason now there are way to many folder this has happened to for editing each and every one. why does this do this and how can I fix now that there are way too many to do individually?
View 1 Replies View RelatedWindows 7 professional, Windows Media Player 12. When an album of mp3 tracks, maybe downloaded from amazon, or ripped from a Cd, is saved to the 'My music' folder, WMP12 automatically includes it in the library and it shows in the library pane with cover art and everything looks and plays correctly. Trouble is, the next time I run WMP after it's been closed for shutdown or whatever, the album is gone from the library, or at least it doesn't show anywhere. It won't reappear if I force a library update even though the folder is scanned. 'My music' is the only folder I have designated for WMP to check into the library, and that's where all the mp3s are, including the ones it won't show. The only albums it shows are those I imported when Windows 7 was run for the first time on my machine. Since then it does the 'now you see it now you don't trick' every time I rip or download a track.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm running Win 7/64 Home Premium with an nVidia GT-430 (301.42) connected via HDMI to a Denon 2310CI.I don't normally use Media Center to play DVDs, so I have no idea when this issue started, but when I try to play one, the video will play for a few seconds, but there is no audio output. Then I get the dreaded "Files that are necessary for playback are not found ..." error, which, of course, tells me next to nothing. I encountered this same problem with Vista (which is one of the reasons why I upgraded to Win 7/64).Thinking it might be a conflict with 3rd party codecs (since uninstalling ffdshow in Vista cured that for a while ... I think, I can't really remember now ...), I uninstalled ffdshow, LAV filters, Haali spliter and rebooted. Didn't help. Meanwhile, DVDs play fine in WMP12. Also DVR-MS and TS files will bitstream AC3/DTS fine when played in Media Center.
View 2 Replies View RelatedIs anyone else having problems with WMP12 acting weird when playing .MOV files?
Just try one of these here: NASA - NASA High Definition Video
When skipping ahead in the video WMP encounters an error for me.
Also why is there no association of .MOV with WMP on the web? I don't want to have to download QuickTime to watch apple trailers when WMP supposed plays .MOV files (albeit not very good it seems)
You see, something is messed up in the WMP file, it's not saving my playlists, so every time i want to hear something I need to go to the Music folder,copy from there the songs to the playlist that won't save after I exit the program, I don't know what messed up there, tried to uninstall it but the uninstall fail every time if it's with a program or from the windows uninstall program, installing WMP11 failed too and deleting them with SHIFT + Delete failed too.

View 8 Replies View RelatedOk so this sort of confuses me here. After a fresh install of windows 7 I am able to play mp3s for a while.. When in a explorer window of a music folder i chose the built in button to play all. After I hit this button only one song came up on my playlist. After trying to choose a different song i am unable to play any mp3s It says that the player might not support this filetype or might not support the codec that was used to compress the file. These are standard MP3's that were ripped in WMP11 on my vista machine.
I have tried to uninstall and reinstall wmp but this has not resolved the issue. I have also dugg in my google resources and read something about a registry error. this instructed me to typw in a command line run as an administrator "regsvr32 wmp.dll"
I have run out of options and I do not want to do a full reinstall as that is the step that i seem to notice everyone else doing.
I've tried googling it and it comes up with a wealth of almost-the-same questions, but none exactly answer mine. it's a basic "is it possible" one.I have Win 7 Home Prem 64 bit and use WMP12 for organising my MP3s. My car has a USB socket on it which allows it to read Mp3s from a flash drive, and also M3U playlists which reference the files using relative filepaths. All good.
The flash drive is a 32GB model, and i have about 18GB of music i want to put on it - which works fine, the auto-sync feature copies all my music to the drive (took a long time the first time i must admit)but I also have some playlists which I would like to copy to the drive. Is there a way (like in itunes) where you can make the drive contain maybe a separate folder in the root called playlists or, even just a bunch of M3U files in the root, which mirror those in my library?
I'm hoping it's not impossible and can be done in WMP12 because it can in other media players - but I can't find any settings for it, can't drag-and-drop a playlist onto the drive and the built in help file seems to be one page telling me the difference between auto and manual sync.
Everytime I try to find album info for Two Steps From Hell's "Invincible" album WMP12 just crashes!
View 9 Replies View Relatedbasically as it say's in the title WMP12 now opens maximized every time I play a MP3 file. It used to always just play the song and be minimized. Its really annoying every time you click for a MP3 to play it goes back to this maximized window.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI recently installed Windows 7 Ultimate x86 on my Dad's HP Compaq Presario. PC has a 2.2 Gig AMD processor (processor is a 64bit but had glitches when I tried the Windows 7 64bit OS) w/2GB DDR2 Mem. All drivers are the originals from when the PC had Win XP Home on it, except for what ever Windows 7 swapped out on install. WMP12 will only play the supplied demo video and that appears as a duo image in a split screen with playback in black and white. Plays ALL audio fine, even CD's. Will Not play any Video DVD's. Installed Power DVD 11 and same problem. Windows 7 say's something about not enough memory installed and close running programs to free up memory. All programs are closed except WMP12. Have increased page file size to 1024low/8192high and every thing seems to work fine except WMP12 & PowerDVD video
View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm running Win 7 x64 with 32bit WMP12. I have FLAC showing with metadata and can play files locally. I have a Naim NDX Media Streamer and can not get FLAC to play through it via WMP - other files will. I understand that this may be connected to x64 not being compatible, so I have the x32 version running via a short cut to my desktop.WMP shows my streamer but when I try to play a file it just constantly looks for the streamer and never finds it. Any ideas where I might be going wrong?
PS: It works perfectly well with JRiver / My River or n Stream via my ipad. That with FLAC or .wav etc. So it appears to be related directly to WMP.
is there any way to make this action the default action when a song or video is clicked in WMP?
View 2 Replies View Relatedokay so I'm new to Windows 7 and this PC
- Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit
- Intel i7 Core, Gigabyte motherboard, 4GB of DDR3 Ram
- graphics card ATI Radeon HD 4600 Series, using DVI connection with my Samsung SyncMaster 2233SW monitor
I have downloaded and installed DviX codecs, K-Lite Codec pack and updated the latest drivers straight from ATI's website for my graphics card and system.
The problem I am having is when inserting a DVD (store bought, Region 1). I have already right clicked on my DVD Drive (D: )and changed it's Region play back to Region 1 (this was my first hurdle).
Using Windows Media Player that came with Windows 7 (11 or 12?) I attempt to play this DVD, and it says playing, but I cannot access any DVD menus, title screens or whatever. No sound or anything is happening, only a black screen. Seems to recognize it as Play-list 1 (D: ), but I can't get it to play, right click on the drive in Windows Media Player, play is grayed out. Tried using Windows Media Player Classic and DviX player as well, and I cannot get a DVD to play.
In Windows Explorer, it shows TS Video Files and TS Audio Files, as if I was burning it or something. (I don't know if this is how Windows 7 shows all DVD's)
Tried the one HD video that comes with Windows Media Player, some 30 seconds of nature, and it plays fine, so I can play video.
Oh and I popped in a music CD and it plays fine as well.
I get no video either in Media Center or Media Player. I do get the audio however. Right now I'm using VLC for my dvd playback. I like the zoom in Media Center though.
Anyone ever had this problem. I'm using 64-bit windows 7.
not using Windows DVD Maker or nero as of right now im using nero but it always loads when i boot up and there are tons of stuff thats not needed only thing i use it for is to burn data to dvds mainly avi to watch on my tv using my dvd player Windows DVD Maker takes to much of the time on the dvd only 150 min. per a dvd when i use nero im able to burn 3-4 videos to a dvd is there a way to change the time into gbs in Windows DVD Maker are is there a software that would just do the job im looking to do im going to try imgburn and see how the playback is with that
View 6 Replies View Relatedsince I changed from Win XP to Win 7 I encounter freezing during playback of DVD's. I tested several DVD's and the problem occurs with both WMP and PowerDVD 6 as well as PowerDVD 9. The only difference between PowerDVD 6 and WMP is that the former freezes every 5 minutes for approximately 5 seconds whereas WMP freezes every 2 to 3 minutes for 10 minutes. So, the latter is useless at all.
My graphics card driver is up to date. I deactivated hardware acceleration in PowerDVD. I would be grateful for further suggestions as I would like to keep Win 7.
windows updated some keyboard drivers or something before i turned off and removed my graphics card to try sort out the heat sink. Anyway, since then my pc has been unable to detect any of the audio ports attached to the motherboard. I've tried various suggestions on other threads but none have worked hence my first post.I understand for any help ill likely need to give more information and ill happily provide such details.
View 5 Replies View RelatedMy only way of watching my blu-rays is on my computer. I've been using PowerDVD 11 Ultra for a while without significant problems. I recently noticed, however, that it was stopping playback during movies, simply pausing and then crashing. I decided to reinstall in the hope of getting smooth playback. After doing so, I had a new problem: all blu-ray video was now very light, forcing all darks to be gray, instead. I should note that I have a Radeon 5770 card and Catalyst's video settings are disabled to allow the player to function without interference (Catalyst 12.6). Despite that, however, PDVD still just gives me gray blacks. I tried downloading TotalMedia Theater and WinDVD trial versions to find a program that works right. To my shock and horror, I have the exact same problem with them, too. What is wrong with the blu-ray playback that has caused programs to play incorrectly? I am convinced that the problem is not related to my computer. One moment, everything was fine. The next moment, everything was bugged. Please note that all other video looks perfect, whether it be DVD, video files, or online videos with my Catalyst settings applied to them.Does anyone have any ideas as to what is going on? Does Blu-Ray software actually work right on computers? I noticed that the Cyberlink forums have plenty of people talking about this same issue happening with PDVD12. Considering that I had the exact problem with the other two programs, I think this goes beyond software developers.
