Mpeg-4 playback stopping and giving error

[Gouda]

I am trying to play .wmv files on divx, windows media player and winamp and it keeps stopping after about 20 seconds. The file is a good file because it plays on my other computer but won't play on this one. It gives me the following error.

"Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The Player might not support the file type or might not support the codec that was used to compress the file."


When I click on the more information tab on this erorr I get the following...

"C00D1199: Cannot play the file
Windows Media Player cannot play the file. You might encounter this error message for one of the following reasons:

The file type is not supported by the Player. For a list of file types (formats) that are supported by Windows Media Player, see Supported file types.
The file type is supported by the Player, but the file was compressed by using a codec that is not supported by the Player.
The file type is supported, but you are trying to play it in a way that is not supported by the Player. For example, you might have tried to drag a DVD file with a .vob extension from a DVD to the Windows Media Player icon. Or you might have tried to open a .vob file by clicking Open on the File menu.
You are trying to play one part of a multipart file. Use a newsreader or other program to combine the files, and then try again.
Error ID = 0xC00D1199, Condition ID = 0x00000000

Can anyone tell me what I am missing that would cause this to happen. Any help would greatly be appreciated. Thanks

EDIT: Nevermind, GSpot only does .avi and .ogm. Guess I should have read the question more carefully.

Get GSpot which analyzes video files to determine the codecs needed to play a file. Check exactly what codec the video uses and (re)install the appropriate codec.
