Re: Unable to play Media file in WinCE 5.0

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



When I play the ".wmv" file using the media player, the
media player is showing the error
"One of the required codecs for this file is not available.
Playback will continue with reduced functionality".
----------
And when i paly the ".mpg" file using the media player,
the media palyer is showing the error
"Cannot open '\Storage Card\movie.mpeg".
Please verify that the path and filename are correct and try again
(0x80040200).

First, try playing the .mpg from the root directory. It may be a space
in the path name is causing a problem (unlikely, but possible). Or
playing from the Storage Card is causing a problem (also unlikely).

About the .wmv file,
the codec is probably not supported. Are you able to play the same
file with Windows Media Player (not using WebPad)? Does it give the
same error?
