I had a problem with Windows media playing video without sound until I
installed different software. The problem is still there though when I did
"capture from video device" through Movie Maker. Is there a setting
somewhere that I don't know about. I thought I've tried everything but
nothing works. I hope someone can help!
 
I had this problem.WMP10 does not have it's own built in decoder.It uses
POWER DVD or simalar players for it's decoder.If you updated to WMP10 then
your existing decoder probably isn't compatible.I suggest you download
"Microsoft Windows XP Video Decoder Checkup Utility"
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...AC-0AB6-4990-943D-627E6ADE9FCB&displaylang=en and use it to check and
see if your decoder is compatible with WMP10.When you run the checkup utility
it will display the name of your decoder,click on the name of the decoder and
it will tell you if it is compatible with WMP10. If it's not compatible it
has a box to click and check for an update. If your computer is using Power
DVD as the decoder (as mine is) then clicking check for an update will send
you to Cyberlink to get a compatible version of Power DVD which is Power DVD
SE or any version after it.This worked for me.The price was $14.95.Microsoft
Windows doesn't even offer a decoder.If you check their site for a decoder
they send you to Cyberlink.
