You’ve encountered an error message C00D10D1 while using Windows Media Player. The following information might help you troubleshoot the issue.

Oh no! i am having the same problem too. i’ve got exactly the same message as guest132 . My computer is Windows Vista. I hope someone helps us soon. >.<

you have to read your files with an other player like Realplayer or anything else. you will not have the same problem.

ya i want 2 download microsoft mpeg-1(50) codec
thanx

This Forum sucks, everyone ask but nobody actually gives a solution for the problem. If you’re going to say “I have the same problem” or “Same here..." you should better NOT WRITE ANYTHING!, this way you won’t make people to waste time reading your COMPLETLY USELESS AND LACK OF SENSE POSTS. Value your time and other’s time as well.

I downloaded an MP3 audio file that will not play under Media Player. I did have success getting it to play on iTunes, which is a FREE download from the internet. Problem is, I can’t burn it to a CD. I guess I’ll just have to get a different copy of the file.

me too! where the heck is this codec?? i can’t find it.. mpeg-1 50 does anybody know? and to EH... you’re also not helping!!

If its an .MP3 file, try renaming it to .MP2 and play in WMP. If it plays, the encoding of the file is not proper and that is why WMP is giving error. So its not WMPs fault but file encoding is the culprit.

If you really need mp3, re-encode using some software.

you’r corect ITAN !!!

so what? even your reply also is useless what .. not giving solution but complainning somemore ... suckers. ...

ppl replied “I have the same problem” or “same here ..", at leats we knew that got some other ppl facing the same problem

maybe the manufacturer ppl saw this and understand that is serious problem n facing by everybody out there

Tried renaming to .MP2, still didn’t work in WMP. It still worked, regardless of the name, in iTunes.
Is everybody here who is having this problem on Vista? WMP 11? What’s the common factor?

I tried renaming to .mp2 but it didn’t work!

IT seem’s to be a problem with vista and something to do with WMP 11

hi, i have meet the same stutation, and i found a solution. I downloaded “vista codec packages”. Link here : http://fileforum.betanews.com/browse/Multimedia&Graphics/Video/Codecs
Hope that it can help you.

I have Vista (ultimate x86) and WMP 11.
Renaming file to *.mp2 worked, but stupid is, that I cannot add this file to library in WMP 11. But I can play this file. Without problems.
