audio codec tag 45

Hi,

Does anybody know which codec that I need for “tag 45”?
I tried to play an ".asf” video file, but I got this error msg:

“The audio codec identified by the format tag 45 is required to play this file. To determine if this codec is available to download from the Web, click Web Help."

Please help!!!!!

Could do with knowing this one myself if you find out or if anyone else knows... please. Ive been pulling my hair out over this..

Thanks
Ashuk

I record a voice message but can’t play it back as i get the same error message about the tag 45.

Oh well if anyone else spots this here then pls help me before i go bold..lol. and thxs m8 it was worth a try..

great info - the codec works great! thanks

Thank Dav34, I had the same problem buy with your link to download the codec I could fix it

Thank Dav34, your plug-in works great!!

Panasonic’s DVD recorders write audio in this format when writing so called SD Video (actually MPEG4, *.asf) on SD cards. I also initially was surprised about that media player and some otehr I tried don’t understand that. But later after readung instruction ) I found that it is G.726 conforming audio. So serching for G.726 codec was much more successful that for tag 45.

Does anyone know where I can ger the Tag45 codec for a IPAQ PPC, as my Logictech video camera records onto SD, but I get no sound when I play the video on my IPAQ. I think it needs the tag45 codec same as I have on the desktop PC.

Thanks

I was successful seeing the video of some asf files made on SD media chip by my Canon XI camera using MMJB (Music Match Juke Box), an excellent media player available for free d/l on the web, but don’t get any sound.

Does anybody know if the sound is a separate file or integrated like AVI files?

Any suggestions on how to get the (assuming there is any) sound?
TIA

I’ve the same problem, did you solve it? If the answer is yes, please help me! thanks a lot.

I followed DAV 34 14-7-2004. I had been searching for solution for days, I had even sent email to Samsung and had no reply. Many thanks it worked perfectly.

hey! i tried to download that codec, but it said that it wasn’t compatible with windows

I’m having the same problem as DMellor. I have a Canon Optura Xi, am able to view the ASF files but do not hear video. I receive the following error trying trying to pay ASF files created from the Canon camrecorder:

The audio codec identified by the format tag 45 is required to play this file. To determine if this codec is available to download from the Web, click Web Help.

If anybody knows which Codec to buy I will purchase. I have spent 5 hours scanning the web for the apropriate codec but have not be able to find anything. I think it is unfair of manufactures to sell stuff without giving you the necessary drivers to run.

Microsfot has the solution posted here:

I tried the codec at:

http://www.codec-download.com/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=viewdownloaddetails&lid=242&ttitle=G_726_Audiocodec

My Windows XP SP1a laptop Home Edition no longer boots up.

Thanks a lot.

I need help too, to play some video files.

Try the link that Dav34 gave us! It works!

Now I know where to find it annd the price where can I download it for free. I uploaded some video clips from my camcorder then when I try playing them it asks for this. The audio codec identified by the format tag 45 is required to play this file. To determine if this codec is available to download from the Web, click Web Help.

Thanx Dav34...the G-726 download fixed my problem also!!!
