Re: Unable to Play Videos from My Camera in Windows Media Player

What do you mean? Do you have two versions of Windows Media Player or did you uninstall Windows Media Player 11 and revert back to an earlier version of Windows Media Player?

Re: Unable to Play Videos from My Camera in Windows Media Player

Well, that was my fault. I made the suggestion of K-Lite and forgot to mention the Windows Media Classic option. However, Piyush did mention it.

Okay, try this:

Uninstall both Windows Media Player Classic and QuickTime

Restart your computer

Once your computer completely restarts, attempt to play one of your video files with Windows Media Player 11

After doing a search on this error code, there does not seem to be a definitive resolution. However, I did find one possible suggestion. Please review this Forum Discussion:

http://help.lockergnome.com/windows/error-c00d11b1-ftopict558214.html

It details your exact situation. Other than what you may have already tried, I do have one more suggestion. Download, install, and run the Windows XP Video Decoder Checkup Utility. This utility requires Windows XP Validation.

Re: Unable to Play Videos from My Camera in Windows Media Player

Ran the utility and everything checks out.Its not all that important,but it frustrates the hell out of me.LOL. It will play files that other peops send me but won't play my own.If i remember correctly:i think it happened when i had to download a codec to play an avi file that some1 emailed me.Don't know for sure.

Re: Unable to Play Videos from My Camera in Windows Media Player

LOL I bet. It would frustrate me as well. As a last suggestion, Coastie eluded to the statement you made regarding a previous codec you installed. Since you are not sure what that exact codec is or when you installed it, I would check your Add/Remove Utility and check to see if you can determine what the codec is and uninstall it.

Don't give up quite yet. I am sure there are others individuals who may have suggestions that I could not provide.

Re: Unable to Play Videos from My Camera in Windows Media Player

Well, if you are lucky, it will reference something about a codec. However, in lue of that, I would carefully look at each installed program and try to eliminate each one. Things like Microsoft (whatever) or Intel (whatever) are obviously not it.

Also, open the Program Files folder and sort by Modified. This will put the folders in the order in which each application was installed. Think back to the approximate date any look for any folder that was installed around that date. This will narrow down your search.

Re: Unable to Play Videos from My Camera in Windows Media Player

dont you remember the exact name of the codec you had installed earlier ? Installing unknown codecs isnt a good practice. And one more thing - these codecs related problems are not that easy to understand simply coz there isnt much you can do with it. Uninstall all codecs, update wmp,reinstall codecs. If this is not working , then its a bit difficult after that to figure out the exact problem.

One of my friends camera videos play fine in my pc in wmp11, but not in his pc, even when we have same os edition,same player,same codec pack and its still like that.

Nothing is true , Everything is permitted.

Re: Unable to Play Videos from My Camera in Windows Media Player

I know windows won't play Quicktime.mov file,but if there was a way of downloading a video in Windows.wmv format.

It could possibly work.I don't know.Not really an expert on the subject.

Okay, let's get a bit of clarification here. I know this is just a question of semantics but when you say "download" you are referring to when you connect your camera to your computer and upload your video from the camera, correct? If that is the case, what you may want is to find an application that will convert the .mov files to another format, such as .wmv like you mentioned.

There are plenty of applications that will do this. A quick search on Google pulled up two immediately:

ImTOO MOV Converter $39

MOV Converter Free

I have never used either of these applications so I cannot attest to their quality.
