cant play wmv files no more

hi, i have trouble coding alot of my videos using tmpeg enc.. so i was told to download ACE codec back (before this i always always had the k-lite codec pack, the mega or the full one.. but always up to date).. but the ace codec pack changed nothing.. so since i removed it and reinstalled my k-lite codec pack, i can no longer play WMV files.. not with classic windows player or windows media player.. so.. if anyone can help me out.. id appreciate it..

thank you

 

plz.. any1 ?

Download the above , drag a .wmv file onto the window and look on the lower area under video to see if you have the rquired codec in place.
Example:
Video : 6.31 MB, 365 Kbps, 9.772 fps, 320*240 (4:3), WMV3 = Windows Media Video 9, Supported

The 'supported' indicates the codec is available to play this file.If it isn't supported you have to download the required codec.In this case it would be the "Windows Media Video 9" codec that was missing.

 

alright i dled avicodec and i dragged a wmv and it said the following...


[opening error, cannot play the file. the format is not supported]

guess it doesnt say much

 

somebody plz help, its so tiring to tranfer wmv's to my laptop just to watch them

 

Don't know if this will work but it can't hurt trying.
Open Windows Media Player. Click on Tools and then Options. Then put a check in Download codecs automatically. Close program. Open program and try to play your file.
Edit:
Maybe this will help.

its already checked

 

thanks by the way

 

wat i meant was, it was always checked.. doesnt change anything..

 

What version of Windows Media Player do you have?

 

10.. but my problem seems to coincide with the installation and removal of k-lite codec pack and ace codec pack..somwhere in that mess i lost my wmv codecs

 

If it's a codec problem, you may have to let WMP download the codec for you. There is a setting where you can allow this.

 

i know.. and the setting in WMP is set to automatically download codecs... unless theres another setting somewhere..
thanks tho...

 

have you tried to re-enstall windows media player. it is a free player. uninstall yours and reenstall the new download from msn.

 

i spammed yet again

 

Try searching and downloading the latest windows media codec, that would probably be the easiest solution.

 

spam removed

 

yeah i think it would, cuz winxp wont let me uninstall WMP.
i guess ill just look for the wmv codec
