    Solve Codec problems with Video files

    With a TV, video playback is a breeze: you turn on the screen, TV tuner or DVD player and it works. Unfortunately, it is one with a computer.

    Indeed, there is no common format for videos that you get on the computer. Between the videos downloaded from the Internet, those from your digital camcorder and your phone, there are a multitude of formats that your computer is not necessarily given.

    To play a video format, with Windows Media Player included with Windows, should have the right codec, a small program that contains information on how to play the video.

    If your player refuses to play a video, is that it lacks a codec. You can easily download on the Internet, still need to know which is it.

    Here are solutions for reading all videos, whatever, and without difficulty. Avi, MPEG, DivX, XviD, MP4, Flash, Mov, ra, QuickTime, Real, WMV,etc you can see everything!

    Find the missing codec:

    You can not play video: you certainly need the proper codec. The problem is that you do not know where you are missing. The freeware Gspot will help you and give you valuable information about the codecs used in a video.

    • Download Gspot from its record in the repository.

    • Unzip the downloaded archive.

    • Double click the file GSpot.exe to run the software.

    • In the window that opens, click the File menu and then click Open.

    • Select your hard drive the video file that you can not read and then click the Open button.

    • GSpot analysis then your video file. He then tells you in red codecs that are not installed, XVID here.

    • All you then have to download (via Google) and install the XVID codec to be able to play this video.

    Update all Codecs:

    Rather than adding the missing codecs one by one, you can install them all in one step by downloading a pack is a lot that contains all the codecs needed to play the major video formats.

    • Visit the page of K-Lite Codec Pack
    • Download the software.
    • Once the download is complete, run the installation program for K-Lite Mega Codec Pack.
    • Click 3 times on the Next button.
    • The main formats are selected by default and a profile option: default is appropriate in most cases. If you want to install all codecs, select Profile 7, lots of stuff.
    • Click 3 times on the Next button and then click Install.
    • Finally click the Finish button. You should not have any problem to play videos with your usual player.

    Read files in RealMedia:

    The videos in RealMedia (. Rm) are illegible to most readers, even after installing a codec pack. To enjoy on your computer, we recommend you have the Real Alternative, a small player, ad-free (unlike the official RealMedia software).

    • Download Real Alternative from its plug into the PC repository Tricks.
    • At the end of the download, run the installation file downloaded.
    • Click Next and then six times on the Install button.
    • Check the box Configures settings for RealMedia, then click Finish.
    • In the new dialog box, choose the speed that corresponds to your Internet connection, then click Apply.
    • Rm format files (Real Media) will then be opened and played with Windows Media Player Classic Integrated Real Alternative.


    Read files in QuickTime:

    Like RealMedia, QuickTime format (MOV) is only readable with the official player from Apple. Unless you install the free QuickTime Alternative and light.

    • Download QuickTime Alternative
    • At the end of the download, run the installation file downloaded.
    • Click Next and then six times on the Install button.
    • Click on Finish.
    • The file format mov (QuickTime) will then be opened and played with Windows Media Player Classic QuickTime Alternative .. integrated
