video recording program. Some video files may be viewed on
a computer, but not on a home DVD video player.

Symptom Possible solution
Some video files do not
play.
Your file may be corrupt or in an unsupported format. Open the
video file in a video editor, and then resave the file in a
supported format.
Codec error messages
appear when I try to
play certain video files.
Open the file in Windows Media Player. Ensure Windows
Media Player is configured to automatically download codecs.
If the correct codec is available, the file will play. Note
that you must be connected to the Internet to download the
codec file.
If the correct codec is not available, check to see whether
there is an update available for Windows Media Player.
For more information, open Windows Media Player Help and
search for codec.
