Hi All

Just new to the forum and this problem has been bugging me for a week.

Nero Showtime 3 won't play wmv. files it says there is an error reading file. It's okay with any other file. Tried the wmv in WMP and it's fine. I've even tried to play a wmv file that a know for a fact played on it before and still no joy.

I originally had Nero 6 installed so I unistalled this and dowloaded Nero 7 thinking this might solve the problem. Nope


Dowloaded K Lite codec pack as well and it's still doing it. PLEASE HELP!

why are using it to play WMVs anyway? Could be using older version of Windows Media codecs to play them.
Could look at getting Nero powerpack or doing a complete clean install of nero with latest updates.
I think there are Nero Clean Tools as well.

I only found the problem out when I was using Nero Vision and it wasn't displaying the wmv thumbnail like the rest of the files. So I tried to play the file to see what was wrong.

Anyway binned Nero 6, downloaded Nero 7 demo and all is fine.

Thanks for the info.
