Banter 0 Report post Posted January 19, 2005 I recently updated Windows Media Player to version 10. Now it won't play any video files. It plays the audio from the video files, but no visuals. Anyone have similar problems? Any ideas? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dr. Tom 0 Report post Posted January 20, 2005 Yeah, that would be a good thing to share. I haven't had this specific problem, but every now and then, files that played fine under v9 get an "error downloading codec" message under v10. And I'm pretty certain I have the important codecs, including the DiVX one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bobobrazil1984 0 Report post Posted February 13, 2005 on a semi-related note, is there any way to downgrade? I had WM8 and i really liked it, at some point (auto update i guess?) it ended up going to 10, i hated it ad uninstalled it, and inexplicably, WM9 showed up. i dontl ike that either. Anyone know how to do this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jobber of the Week 0 Report post Posted February 14, 2005 Ditch the program altogether and use either Media Player Classic or VideoLan . Using WMP to play your videos is about as old and outdated as using WMP to play your music. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bobobrazil1984 0 Report post Posted February 15, 2005 media player classic doesn't have an option to adjust the brightness/contrast (at least mine doesn't, is there a newer version that does?). Half the videos I view usually require a little tweaking to see it right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Half the videos I view usually require a little tweaking to see it right. you can change brightness/contrast in the options of the used codec (example: right click on video--->filters--->XVID for XVID videos). For MPEG it can be changed in the MPC options itself. I use version 6.4.8.2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
