Title: .WMV Files and Haptek/Hal
Post by: Holllywood on April 06, 2006, 05:50:46 pm

I have received .wmv files from a couple of talented writers here in the forum. I've run into a problem with those files. Would anyone know why I am having problems running these video files on Windows Media player 10? I've selected all the ext's. in the options including .wmv. Yet it keeps telling me that the file may have been compressed differently and that I may need another codex. Anyone know which codex it's talking about. I'm guessing that the files were made using Haptek. If anyone could give me a nudge in the right direction I'd really appreciate it.

I have received the same files and they work fine with my Windows Media Player 10.  You could also import them into Windows Movie Maker and they would work.  (I tried it before recommending it to you.)

Thanks Smokey. I guess I had my head where I normally sit. After trying everything Like downloading Codec paks. and all. The light came on. For anyone else who may run into the same prob. Don't use a download program. It corrupts some downloads. Thanks again to all.
