I don't have windows media player so I use the media player classic and never had any problems with play back until now, (I got it with the k-lite mega codec pack so I have all of the codecs, or should have all of the codecs I need.) The video shows up but no sound. I have wmv checked for file association in the options. Other videos with different extensions work. This is the error message: Media player classic could not render some of the pins in the graph, you may not have the needed codecs or filters installed on the system. The following pin(s) failed to find a connectable filter: Media Type 0: -------------------------- Audio: Windows Media Audio 16000Hz mono 16Kbps AM_MEDIA_TYPE: majortype: MEDIATYPE_Audio {73647561-0000-0010-8000-00AA00389B71} subtype: Unknown GUID Name {00000161-0000-0010-8000-00AA00389B71} formattype: FORMAT_WaveFormatEx {05589F81-C356-11CE-BF01-00AA0055595A} bFixedSizeSamples: 1 bTemporalCompression: 0 lSampleSize: 640 cbFormat: 28 WAVEFORMATEX: wFormatTag: 0x0161 nChannels: 1 nSamplesPerSec: 16000 nAvgBytesPerSec: 2000 nBlockAlign: 640 wBitsPerSample: 16 cbSize: 10 (extra bytes) pbFormat: 0000: 61 01 01 00 80 3e 00 00 d0 07 00 00 80 02 10 00 a...€>..Ð...€... 0010: 0a 00|00 22 00 00 2e 00 80 07 00 00 ..."....€...
By default, MPC is able to play back anything that directshow can render - howeve, it's possible some of the decoding is turned off in FFDshow (or similar) See this post that explains a little further: http://www.codecguide.com/faq_mpc.htm Install Mediainfo and open your file to get more about the audio type. Your audio type seems to be WMA. Try enabling the WMA type in the FFDShow audio decoder configuration. (set them to LIBAVCODEC). Uploaded with ImageShack.us
