Unable to View Videos

Since upgrading to Windows 10, I am unable to view videos posted by my friends in Facebook. Someone help???

 

What is the file extension of the video files? .mpeg, .mp4, .avi, ??????

 

I had that issue. I also had to delete and reinstall my sound drivers.

 

do you mean windows 7 or 8.1?
o its ok i see now its 7 i saw 7.1 my eyes are going too lol

 

Hi Ztruker,
I'm unsure of extension,
Videos and photo's (photo's are viewable),were taken on an i phone 4 and emailed to me,the photos are JPEG.
From my windows live email inbox, I save them in My Documents, and changed their name to say # 1 video...#2 video etc etc. I have since checked them all ( 50 odd vids ) and some are actually working.. kind regards

 

It is possible that they got corrupted somehow.

 

I agree with bro67, install the great video software VLC, it will allow you to watch any videos that you have stored.

VideoLAN - Download official VLC media player for Windows

 

To see what the file extensions are, open Control Panel then click on File Explorer Options.
Click on the View tab.
Set like so:





Now when you look at any file you will see the full path, filename.ext. The .ext is what I'm interested in for the ones that don't work.

 

Hi Ztruker,
I found Explorer File Extension window and now have set as per your diagram..
a) Show hidden files and folders
b) unticked the next 3 boxes
c) apply /ok

Videos still not opening ( running,but can't see )

C:\Users\Ken\Desktop\Documents\ 2\MOVIE 96.eml ..........This a movie that DOES WORK

 

Can you hear them? If yes, there might be a problem with your graphic driver / DirectX capabilities.
Depending on your media player, turn off hardware acceleration and try different outputs, like:

 

The default program for filetype .eml for me is Seamonkey, which is my default web browser. Could be IE, Chrome, Firefox, etc.
Check yours.

Open Control Panel, click on Associate a file type or protocol with a program. Scroll down to .eml. Select it then click on Change program.... Scroll down and select your default web browser, IE, Edge, Chrome, etc.

See if that fixes it.
