Windows 10: Shadowcopy of video media file - not working

Hi,

I have used a shadowcopy to extract/copy a file into my computer, although the video shows its the right size to have the video (so something is in there) it is not loading the video successfully? just shows 0:00 in vlc and other media plays say its not supported.

Windows Media Player not working for videos

Hi

The problem is Windows Media Player wont work at all. When I try to play a video clip I get the message: "Browser has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is
available."

I tried the fix you suggested involved going into Device Manager, Sound video and game controller then looking for updates for the 2 audio drivers available:

• ATI HDMI Audio and
• Realtek High Definition Audio

but the problem remains.

However, I can open the video files using Windows Live Movie Maker; picture and sound are ok, though the picture is limited in size.

Videos not working on windows 10

Hi,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

1) Does this issue occur on Internet Explorer too?

2) Are you able to play the videos which are there in the local drive using Windows media player?

This issue might be because of corrupted graphic drivers.

I suggest you to run the video troubleshooter and check if it helps.

• 
  Type Troubleshooting in search and click
  Troubleshooting.
  
• 
  In the left pane click on
  View all
  
• 
  Select Video Playback.
  
• 
  Follow the prompted steps to troubleshoot this issue.
  

I suggest you to update the graphics card drivers/display drivers from manufacturer website and check if it resolves the issue.

• 
  Open Device Manager.
  
• 
  Expand ‘Display Adapter’.
  
• 
  Locate the display driver.
  
• 
  Right-click on the display card listed and click on ‘Update Driver Software’
  

If issue still persists, I would suggest you to install the drivers in compatibility mode and check if it works.

Follow the steps provided below to install the drivers in compatibility mode:

• Right-click on the driver setup file and click on ‘properties’.
• Click on the ‘compatibility’ tab and check the box "Run this program in compatibility mode for” and select Windows operating system from the drop down.
• Click on ‘Apply’ and click ‘OK’ and run the file to install it.

Please reply with status of the issue for further assistance.

Thanks.

 

Media/File Server on the cheap

Hey guys,

My PC is currently filling up and i have 4 HDDs.

I use my PC as a media server as well as a gaming rig.

What I want/need to do is build an external enclosure/rig that is cheap money wise and effective as a file/media server that is DNLA compliant. It would be nice to be able to run my Usenet through it and control it via web interface and remote connect. I would use Linux if a step by step guide is available for setting up the DNLA server and such as well.

This is my first foray into this field of PCs. Help please! ^_^
