| 1389319 | 2014-12-02 20:11:00 | I have WIN68. Pro with Windows Media Player. My problem has just started. When I attempt to play a movie stored on my D: HDD or my external storage I am getting just squeeks and crackle sound when I try to play back. There is another method of playing the movie with sound, I think it might be built into the 8.1 o/s. the first screen is a pink with a right pointing arrow. The screen disappears, the word video appears at the top of the screen, the movie loads and all is OK. However, if I change the program to Windows Media Player I get squeeks. Is this a codex problem? How can I fix this? |

| 1389321 | 2014-12-02 20:48:00 | Depends what the format of the video is. If it doesn't play it natively, you'll need a 3rd party program | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1389322 | 2014-12-02 22:12:00 | Codec packs can be out of date and include a lot of unneeded codecs, but if it's working for you problem sorted :). Like a lot of people I don't use media player myself, there are a lot of popular alternatives but I like VLC because it uses its own codecs and plays just about anything so I don't need to worry about install any codecs. Works fine on windows 8.1 too. For music playback I've gone back to the venerable winamp, for video I use VLC. |
