I have just downloaded a video. Usually, the Movies & TV app plays any video that is on my laptop, but when I tried to play the downloaded video, I got a message saying that the program does not support this format
The video is an MP4 file and normally, this program plays such videos but not this time
What could be the reason why I receive this error message, although this format is usually supported?
PS: The site can't be, because this site is just a kind of provider where you can download uploaded videos from other users
It may be due to an error of the video do you have the VLC?
How big is it? Maybe it was not completely downloaded.
Yes, but I also did not play the video
Then it's up to the video
To be exact 3.74GB. For this amount my laptop needs several days already
With defective files, it can happen that only the entire file is scanned. This can take a while. If not… I would test what ffmpeg does with it. If you think so: 1. Download, 2. Unzip, 3. In the command line change to ffmpeg directory and enter:
ffmpeg -i c: \ users \ bla \ downloads \ file.mp4
Upload the issue somewhere or post here.
Download ffmpeg: https://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/ (Version 4.2, Linking shared)
Install the K-Lite Codec Pack. Then the Windows Media Player can play the: https://files3.codecguide.com/K-Lite_Codec_Pack_1509_Basic.exe
