Windows Media Player cannot play the file. One or more codecs required to play the file could not be found.
I do not know which codec i need.How can i find out? Please advise....anyone?

My windows media player 11 in windows vista OS doesn't even play wav format file

can any one help me with this

cool but if I try to download from YOU-TUBE 'I get a message :Error cood1199 ,any idea what to do?

I am having issues playing dvd's with MP11 and also some of my AVI files will not play while others will. Is there a patch or other download that will fix MP11 and resolve these issues?

wow...good!!

gud posting, but there shud be links to download codecs.
i m not able to play .avi files in wmp11 after upgrading to windows vista

wmp is the best software in its class, but i always have problems with the updates and codecs.

my media player 11 can not play dvd play only the sound for movie. can you tell me what i do?

@babymed

Its not as simple as that, WMP11 as a standard no hassle software... is well basicly crap unless u give it codecs from 3rd party sotware,

can u say that your wmp can play DivX, flash video, Generic MPEG4, H.264, XviD... without a 3rd part apllication or codec/software... i would highly doubt that you could unless u searched upon for it... which i have

to makes things simple

http://www.cccp-project .net

go to that site, that has a bunch of codecs which have bee compiled which supports all of the upabove. BUT as stated before these end up installing loads more on your comp then you'll expect, including several players like zoom player and media player classic (i lol at that)

"evey 1 u dont just use wmp gezz (wmp is great) i use my music with wmp 11 and win amp pro (win amp pro is #90 to buy) to watch films use divx to crack and clone xp use piso and achaol (CORRECTION - AlCOHOL 120%) 120% lol dont know what u all see wrong oh also u need wmp 11 to conncet your 360 and other computer with your music 1 more thing u dont understand what i said go and jump on a 30 story building then think what u done and yes that confused you lol n0000bs"

now... is that actualy any simpler then just using VLCPlayer??

@grudknows

go to that link above that should solve most problems to do with WMP11

i rated it a 4 cos it is good once u have the required codecs.

peace out

I upgraded to the beta version and haven't really had that much issue. I know practically zero about codecs and such and only explorer the area if I need to, regardless, I've discovered that most files that didn't play with the default settings will play if you install:

- DivX Codecs
- FFDShow and/or The Codecs (Theoretica)

3ivx D4 added the ability to play m4a audio
(and installed WMP Tag Support Extender so I could set WMP as default for additional formats)

My only real drama has been with playing some mp4 video formats and I'm still looking for answers there.

when or if it works i will let u know

i very much prefered this player b caus this player makes comm become very smooth. ........

I rarely post anywhere on anything but ONCE IN A WHILE people go above and beyond and reaffirm my faith that the human race is in fact a retarded failure doomed to crush under the weight of its own stupidity and inability.

Has no one here ever used VLCmediaplayer? I got all the codecs and crap to work for mp11 (elite few?, what a pain in the ass) and after i was done i decided that i still would not, nay, COULD NOT leave my VLCplayer. Im sure having this dream of playing your mp3s and your avi dvd burning software all in one is fine and dandy but its not a reality. MP has ALWAYS been a bad peice of software and if you dont believe me your probably religeous, inadequetly educated and probably paid by microscoff to disagree /w me, ANYWAY, I still use mp11 to play my mp3s because it has a nifty pictures that bounce to the rythme of the music, (thats all media player has ever done and will ever do properly) MP11 sits on the task bar with buttons and it syncs to my flash drive, thats why it wins over WinAmp. Otherwise, i wouldnt print its hexcode to wipe my arse with.

Bottom line, media player11 is chunky, overweight, slow and REALLY not user friendly. VLC plays everything; use it stream video, listen to shoutcast radio, podcasts, play dvds, i carry it on my cell phone, mp3, aac, wma, avi use .SUB files for subtitles, steal videos from utube...i could go on but OMG, WHAT DOES YOUR MEDIA PLAYER DO! WHAT DOES IT DO!

Im done. Thank you.

at first i thought it was my copy that had a problem ... now i know i aint alone! WMP11 is great, bt could someone do something about the codecs, please??? Otherwise, makes me feels like relocating back to version 10!
