Answer 1

first off
u encountered a error message and it ask u
do u want to check web for help or close window
most likely if u check web...u will be directed to microsoft.com and it will tell u answer or send u to another web site with answer
most likely
u need
ac3 filter.exe
go here it is free
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=66022&package_id=63808

here are 2 more options
http://www.divx.com/divx/windows/download/
most likely u will need this one to go along with ac3 filter
if for some reason u still cant get it too work
go here..download this...dump windows media player
and problem solved

all u do is

when u right click video and select open with
vlc might not be a option...select browse..find vlc..then open....it is great
it plays all files types
u can use it to play cue/bin files

Answer 2

Yes,
The most current windows media player can play avi files.
What you can do is download itunes, if you have not already, and then use it to export the file in mp3 or wav file structure.
You have to go to options and change the import status.

The best way is to use TubeHunter to save youtube videos as AVI or MPEG which can be played on Windows Media Player.
TubeHunter can download videos from hundreds of video sharing webs and can convert them as any format you want.

the .torrent report is barely a report used to discover the actual .avi report. your bittorrent shopper makes use of the .torrent report yet in any different case it is ineffective. wait until your bittorrent shopper has downloaded the finished .avi report and then u could have the skill to play it, convert it, or regardless of u choose to do.

Answer 5

always media player ( all versions ) has a lot off problem . just u setup the jet audio v6.2.6 and u can play it very well and u can also convert it to another like MP4 and mpg ...
