Can't play an AVI file in Vista with WMP11
This file will open and play in MS Player 10 with XP, but not in version 11
with Vista. Gspot told me no codec was required, but this can't be the case. I get a black screen. I assume the audio works, but since these are silent files I only speculate on this since the time bar moves. Vista seems to be missing the ATI YUV9 codecs, but why are they there in version 10 and not 11? If this is indeed the problem where do I get the proper codec for Vista to handle this code as reported by Gspot? Any ideas would be appreciated. I need these files. Thanks. Bart |

Can't play an AVI file in Vista with WMP11
Hmm, that looks like a disaster waiting to happen. I'd rather get just the
proper codec and not a wad of them. I'd also like to know why the heck it works fine in XP, but not in Vista.

You don't mention which version of Vista you have nor which version of XP.
Some codec's require licensing and are not included in some versions of Vista or XP. One of these codec's will most likely solve your problem. http://www.xvid.org/ http://www.divx.com/ http://www.microsoft.com/windows/win...dvdcodecs.aspx -- Kerry Brown Microsoft MVP - Shell/User http://www.vistahelp.ca/phpBB2/ "John Inzer" wrote in message ... bartman wrote: This file will open and play in MS Player 10 with XP, but not in version 11 with Vista.

Can't play an AVI file in Vista with WMP11
Vista Home Premium and XP Professional.
Your links refer to either MPEG or Divx and my file is neither. It is an uncompressed AVI file. It was not done with Divx. More Information I have found says "Planar ATI YUV9 Indeo". Gspot says that a codec is not required which is obviously false since it doesn't display video in Vista. If the proper codec is not supported in Vista is there anyway in the existing XP system, without adding any new software, to convert it to something Vista understands and still keep it uncompressed?

At an elevated command prompt type the following
regsvr32 ir50_32.dll I think this is the codec you need. This should register the codec but it may cause other problems. There's probably a reason why it's not enabled by default. To get an elevated command prompt locate Command Prompt in All Programs = Accessories.

Can't play an AVI file in Vista with WMP11
I have no idea what problems it could cause. I'm always suspicious when
something is not enabled by default. It may be a performance, security, or who knows what issue. It may simply be someone forgot to write the code register the file. If it does cause a problem you could easily unregister the file with the command regsvr32 /u ir50_32.dll If you register the file and it doesn't work or causes a problem just run the above command in an elevated command prompt. You may have to reboot after registering and unregistering for it to take effect. -- Kerry Brown Microsoft MVP - Shell/User http://www.vistahelp.ca/phpBB2/ "bartman" wrote in message ...

Can't play an AVI file in Vista with WMP11
Worth a try, but it makes no difference. File still doesn't play the video.
When I try the unistall I get an error that says, "The module "ir50_32.dll" was loaded but the call to dllunregisterserver failed with error code 0x8000ffff". Doesn't sound good. I have a restore point just before I tried this so hopefully that undoes my fix attempt properly. I ran across this link that I tried to get information from, but got nothing from the company. http://www.ligos.com/index.php/home/products/indeo/ Know anything about this?
