Error: C00D11CD

[Fazz]

Don't know of this is the right place to ask this, sorry if it is.;)

Well, I am trying to play a movie file(mpeg) but continue to get the following error code: Error: C00D11CD. It may just be a simple thing to correct but i am fairly computer illiterate.....

And I have the Xvid and DivX codecs installed, but no luck. :(

Help would be much appreciated. :)

Welcome to the forum.

A quick search for C00D11CD at www.google.com shows me that it is a general error in Windows Media Player 9. If you make the same search, you will see some 1,550 hits for it.

The very first hit in Google says this is one probable reason for the error. It probably applies, since you are trying to play an MPEG file. DivX and XviD are MPEG-4, and would not apply to any .mpg file, which is either MPEG-1 or MPEG-2.# You can not play an MPEG2 file.Windows Media Player generates the c00d11cd error.

The most likely cause is that you do not have the correct codec installed to play back the file. Windows Media Player 9 will only NOT automatically download EVERY codec there is.

In the case of MPEG2 (or DVD) you MUST have an MPEG2 decoder on your system!

Thanks man for the quick response.

Since your information it makes more and more sense ;)

So since I don't have right codec installed for a MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 format.

Do you know a good 'Decoder' for the MPGEG-1/2 files? :)

Or a link to the right Codec for these formats? :D

Thanks in advance!

Usefull, And I found @ this site this program:

"SVCD codec" [Edited per Rule 6]

SVCD is a new video format which provides better quality then regular VCDs. SVCDs utilize the MPEG-2 codec (same as DVD movies). While the compression isn't as good as what you can achieve with the DivX codec, this format has become popular because it's possible to view burned SVCD movies in many stand-alone DVD players. If you want to watch SVCD movies directly on your computer you first need to install this codec. After you've installed the SVCD codec on your computer Windows Media Player will be able to play SVCD movies."[/i]

It's what i can make of it a MPEG-2 Codec, but after I installed it, the error was still there! :(

jggimi, do you know some solutions? :)

Ta.

SVCD stands for Super Video Compact Disc. It is a standard CD format, used in many standalone DVD players, and, like DVDs, uses MPEG-2 for video streams.

You've apparently installed something for SVCDs, but it is software that I'm not familiar with. It appears, from your experience with it, that its use is limited to SVCD discs and that it does not support MPEG-2 files directly.

It is obvious to me that your PC, as configured, does not support MPEG-2 playback. (All versions of Windows support MPEG-1, as far as I know). A simple solution would be to install ffdshow, and configure it to play back MPEG-2 files. ffdshow can be found at www.doom9.org in the full downloads page.

Hrhr, well that ffdshow-20040227 also didn't worked out! :mad: ;)

But I was searching on Google and i readed about that MPEG-1 / MPEG-2
formats easily opens with a software DVD player, so when I tryed using PowerDVD for a change. And w00t the mpeg video played! :D

Well the cure was PowerDVD all the time... ;)

Anyway thanks for helping me out (jggimi). :)

Glad to know you've found a solution, and that you reported your success.:thanks:

I've edited out the link you supplied, you probably weren't even aware of it since you were searching for a codec, but that site supplies access to downloadable movie files. Check out the Announement at the top of the Newbies homepage and the Forum Rules (top of any forum page) for more information and what the policies are here at Doom9. No problem. :)

The installation of PowerDVD fixed your problem because it brought with it the codec that allows the software to recognize MPEG-2 files. Now that you're up to speed with that codec, you might think of taking a snapshot of your installed codecs and saving it for future reference. Should you ever experience codec problems, and many of us do, this would allow you to compare what is working for you now, and what is not working in the future. If you've already got a ghost of your hard drive after the PowerDVD installation, or some other backup scheme in place, this information is irrelevant, but it's just a thought. :) Good luck.
