Windows Forum / Windows Media / Player / February 2008Unable to open files
Im using Windows XP and Window Media Player 11.I can't open Movie files (mpeg) with the media player with error saying that not support the file type.Pls assist. Rgds, Steven Tan >Im using Windows XP and Window Media Player 11.I can't open Movie files (mpeg) >with the media player with error saying that not support the file type.Pls On WMP, go to the small dropdown menu below Now Playing, and choose More Options then File Types from the popup. Is mpg selected as one of the file types WMP is set to handle ? Frequently, quicktime or real player (and other applications) will try to grab that file association. MPEG files come on 3 types which are hard to tell apart from the filename - MPEG2 (also VOB), MPEG1 (also DAT) and MPEG4 (also .mp4 or .m4v or .m4a, or .3gp or...) If you mean the movie files are on a DVD disk, run Decheck to see if you have a compatible DVD decoder installed for playback : http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=DE1491AC-0AB6-4990-943D -627E6ADE9FCB HTH Cheers - Neil ------------------------------------------------ Digital Media MVP : 2004-2008 http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/mvpfaqs My problem was not solved,any other solution? Thx.

All other file types work? When you click the Web Help button, what URL does it take you to? Can mplayer2.exe still play MPEG files?  SignatureSpeaking for myself only.

Why are they all there? Did you install a random codec pack or something? You may be able to use the Windows XP MPEG Decoder Check-up Utility to set this right again.
