Re: Media Player 9 won't Play AVI files



.....Below is the text from the "More Information" link. I read this before
and again now. It seems to be telling me that I do not have the right CODEC
to view AVI files? However, since it was working (for several years), I'm
puzzled as to why it quit now and how do I recover. Isn't the AVI CODEC
part of WINDOWS?

Thanks....RDK

0xC00D1199: Cannot play the file
Windows Media Player cannot play the file. You may encounter this error
message for one of the following reasons:

a.. The file type is not supported by the Player. The following table
lists the file types supported by the Player. If the file type you are
trying to play is included in this table, then the file may have been
encoded by using a codec that is not supported by Windows Media Player. If
this is the case, Windows Media Player cannot play the file.
b.. The file type is supported by the Player, but the file was compressed
by using a codec that is not supported by the Player.
c.. The file type is supported, but you are trying to play it in a way
that is not supported by the Player. For example, you may have attempted to
drag a DVD file with a .vob extension from a DVD to the Windows Media Player
icon. Or you may have attempted to open a .vob file by clicking Open on the
File menu.
d.. You are trying to play one part of a multipart file. Use a newsreader
or other program to combine the files, and then try again.
The following table lists the file types (formats) supported by Windows
Media Player.

File type (format) File name extension
Music CD Playback (CD audio) .cda
Audio Interchange File Format (AIFF) .aif, .aifc, and .aiff
Windows Media audio and video files .asf, .asx, .wax, .wm, .wma, .wmd,
..wmp, .wmv, .wmx, .wpl, and .wvx
Windows audio and video files .avi and .wav
Windows Media Player skins .wmz
Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG) .mpeg, .mpg, .m1v, .mp2, .mpa,
..mpe, .mp2v*, and .mpv2
Musical Instrument Digital Interface (MIDI) .mid, .midi, and .rmi
AU (UNIX) .au and .snd
MP3 .mp3 and .m3u
DVD video .vob
Macromedia Flash .swf




*To play .mp2v files, you must have a software or hardware DVD decoder
installed on your computer.

Notes

a.. To play DVDs, you must have a DVD-ROM drive, and a software or
hardware DVD decoder installed on your computer. If you do not have a
compatible DVD decoder installed, DVD-related commands, options, and
controls do not appear in the Player and you cannot play DVDs. By default,
Windows does not include a DVD decoder. For more information about DVD
decoders, see Windows Help.
b.. DVD playback is only available on select versions of Windows.
Error ID = 0xC00D1199, Condition ID = 0x00000000

....Attached is a screen capture of the error dialog. I'm running XP
Pro,
fully patched (SP2) and all current updates. WMP version is 9.00.00.3349.

WMP will play WMV and MPG files but not AVI files. The same files will
play on my XP Home laptop.

I hope you can help....RDK

.....I just noticed that Window Medial Player (Version 9.00.00.3349)
will
no longer play AVI files on my XP Pro desktop. This is new, but I
don't
know exactly when the problem started.

Same files play just fine on my XP Home laptop.

Any ideas what has changed? Or, what I need to do to correct the
problem?

Thanks...RDK
