    Playing MP4 gives "Package could not be registered"


    I get the above error when I try to open a MP4 video file. It plays ok with VLC Player. I cannot set the default video player - it shows "Films and TV". If I try to click on VLC, it does not do anything.

    Do I need to "Repair" the Windows 10? If so, what is the best way please?

    :)

    Play MP4 in Media PLayer


    I am using mp4 files myself. Rather heavily. The files I have use the native h264 codecs for video and also something pretty standard for audio and they work. MP4 is a container format and I vaguely remember I once had a file, that did not play.

    I am not a real expert here, but you can try this:

    Download the static Windows version of ffmpeg and check your mp4 file with ffprobe.exe. It will output a bunch of information about that file, including the codecs used inside it. Knowing these codecs is a first step on the way to a solution.

    Windows media player will not play mp4!

    Who spends $5,000 on a computer to play .mp4s?

    In any case, I have lots of .mp4s and they play well on Windows Media Player. If you've got an .mp4 that won't play, here are two suggestions:

    1- download another copy of the file; and

    2- ask the content provider for help.
