Media player for Windows 7?

Unknown

What are some good media players for Windows 7? (No iTunes 11)

Answer
Hi, For audio there's winamp media player, songbird, media monkey, foobar2000, and so on. Daum potplayer below is made by the same guy who made the famous kmplayer. Links below

For video the best players are VLC media player by videolan, media player classic home cinema, kmplayer, daum potplayer, smplayer, or gom player. My favorite is VLC and daum potplayer. They both play pretty much anything including DVD's with their own codecs. If you set all the settings in daum potplayer to your liking it is the best player.

http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ (Official site of VLC player by videolan. Free and virus free! It will download from sourceforge.) Pay attention while installing, if you don't want files associated with VLC then uncheck that option during setup. If you want after installing you can right click on the video file and choose to play with VLC.

To play DVD with VLC - open VLC - in taskbar at top click on media - then click open disk.

http://www.dvbsupport.net/download/index.php?act=view&id=230 (Daum Potplayer latest stable version. Click on the big blue button to download it. You don't have to install the potplayer live files and you can ignore the directx update message.

After installing open it up and right click on it - in the video tab - set video renderer to overlay mixer for some computers. You may want to change the aspect ratio options also. You can manage file associations - right click - preferences - association tab.

To play a DVD with potplayer - right click on it on the second open tab popout click "open DVD' or on the last tab to open your "CD/DVD" drive

I hope this helps you out. Good luck!

How do you use windows media player on windows 7?

Q. I just bought a new laptop (h.p) and I want to put all my music cd's on my computer. I never had problems with WMP on Windows XP or previous editions. But now I can't figure it out. I put a cd in and it starts playing. I click stop. There is no option to copy. And when I click "rip" and gives me an error message. I can't even drag the songs onto another folder or my desktop or anything. What do I do? Please help, how do I copy songs from a CD on to my computer? It really shouldn't be this hard. WTF? I'm seconds away from throwing my laptop out the window and beating it with a bat. This is beyond aggravating. I thought windows 7 was suppose to be easier???????????

Answer
Did you buy the DVD? If you did, there is a very large chance it is protected with DRM and cannot have any of the information copied or changed. Really, DON'T TRUST WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER!
If it works, try copying the files in the DVD to your Documents folder or your C drive. This should work. Then, try playing it with VLC Media Player (find it online). Since the file should be a .vob file, it should play perfectly fine on VLC.
When you click "rip", WMP would think that you are trying to burn a video to a DVD. Instead, you are playing directly FROM the DVD that the file is from, so you would get an error.
For Windows XP and lower: To copy, click Start, then My Computer. Then right-click the DVD and click Explore. Click the .vob files in the DVD and copy them (Ctrl + C). Then go to you destination folder and Paste it (Ctrl + V).
For Windows Vista or higher: To copy, click the Windows logo in the bottom left, then Computer. Then right-click the DVD and click Explore. Click the .vob files in the DVD and copy them (Ctrl + C). Then go to you destination folder and Paste it (Ctrl + V).
There you go! Note: Windows 7 is actually a little more frustrating, because many programs don't work with it. Just get used to it.

How do I reinstall a DVD player and driver on my computer without having to reinstall windows 7?

Q. The driver that I have for my DVD drive in my computer is starting to make me frustrated. The only thing my computer will do when I try to reinstall the device is it says CD Drive under the 'computer' heading and now I can't even play movies. When I go online to try and find the driver for my dvd player it won't even pull anything up. It's like the driver for my dvd player burner doesn't even exist anymore. What should I do?

Answer
it should be built into windows. try rolling back the drivers. if not, unplug the drive, fire the machine up and let windows configure the machine as needed (figure out the drive is not there anymore (will just take a few seconds). shut it down. plug it in and fire it back up. it should be detect and install the drivers. make sure the bios is set right also. if that fails, you might have to update the drivers, go advanced and check the search removable media, make sure the install disk is in. one of those should work. kinda an odd situation... what happened to the stock drivers?

How can I burn an MP4 file to a DVD to be played on a DVD player?

best dvd player windows 7 image

Q. I copy and paste the MP4 file onto a blank DVD but it just says it needs to burned using a certain program.

Do I need to convert the MP4 file? What program would I use? I specifically want it to play on a normal (region 2) DVD player. Any help? (: I'm using Windows 7.

Answer
i think you should convert your mp4 file to avi, i suppose its going to work like that, as far as i know avi is optimized for burning to dvd.
if youre looking for a good converter for both windows and mac i can recommend you audials tunebite, ive been using their products for some time and they work pretty good. and if youre not looking to invest any money into a new soft, i think you might be able to do the converting using one of their demo versions. but its a pretty great soft, if you take a look at audials one for example youll see its kind of like an all in one soft, does recording, burnind to dvd, file sharing, converting of course and some other cool stuff. anyway, this is a step by step guide on how you can convert mp4 to avi, if you wanna take a look and make an idea about how converting works:

I installed windows 7 and my DVD is not working?

Karn

I have an acer aspire t690, I installed windows 7 and i seemed to have lost the driver for my cd-dvd player. I tried insllaing the resource dvd and it does not work or read disc? Is there an upgrade or did I do something wrong. How do I re-install vista from windows 7.

Answer
All you need to do is install updated device drivers for your cdrom from acer.com. Once you arrive, you will need to visit support then downloads. You will not be charged for your download, ensure to retrieve all updates and patches for your cdrom and that they are for the vista operating system which happens to be fully compatible with windows 7.

If I use the HP compaq's advanced recovery to restore the laptop to Factory Condition will it erase windows 7?

Melissa S

I have a laptop about five months old, it won't restore from a set point because it says the drive has something corrupt on it, and my cdrom dvd player only worked a couple of times and it stopped. I was thinking about trying the advanced restore option offered that says restore the computer to factory settings, I saved the files I wanted to but will this also wipe off Windows 7 from the computer? I bought it from Walmart if that makes a difference. Thanks!

Answer
If you restore back to factory, it will act like the computer was before you bought it, if it had Windows 7 on it from start, it will again have Windows 7.

What is the best way to run cd/dvd programs off of hard drive?

John

I have a new Windows 7 Ultrabook (no dvd drive) laptop. Just wondering how best to run old programs/games off of the hard drive? I have a external dvd player to transfer the files. Thanks.
Some games (like Madden/Civilization) require you to leave the CD/DVD in the Drive and not run it completely off the CD/DVD Drive.
I mean run it completely off the hard drive.

Answer
It's best to reinstall any applications or games on the new computer instead of copy and pasting the files over. Sometimes that will work but a lot of the time the programs have dependencies installed in other places (such as the registry or a folder with saved data).

To transfer you will need to hook up your old hard drive to a PC and burn the files to a cd or flash drive.

Thanks
