Topic: wmv files won't play

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

As you can see I am very knew at VDJ and have a few questions before I become really useful with the program.

My question is "I can't seem to get wmv files or avi files to play even though I saw those decoders in the decoder list somewhere?" How do i get them to play or do I need to convert everythng to mpg all the time?

This happened to me too. It was because I was ripping my CD's into wma format and using windows media player and there is a setting (with the version I was using, it was the default setting) in the options menu for _copy_protect_music_ and it was checked while I was ripping. (I think that's what it was- it was a few years ago- but a check mark in that box while ripping, prevented virtual dj from playing the file.) Once I unchecked that box and re-ripped everything again as wma the files played in virtual DJ. So, for me it was not the wma format, it was the fact that the file was created by windows media player with that proprietary box checked. These days, I try to keep with all mp3 to keep things out of the reach of Big Brother Microsoft.
