Windows Media Player 12 no open MP4 despite codecs
#11
Alright dudes,

I've been posting here asking for advice on how to solve that MP4 problem.

For those of you who are experiencing the same problem I did, like not being able to use MP4s on Windows Media Player 12 for Windows 7 or higher, there might be a solution.

Read here: https://shark007.net/forum/Thread-Setup-and-usage

In case the site is down indefinitely, I will quote the part where it helped me:

Code:
If an MP4 file fails to play properly with (subtitles - audio?) or any other issue.
using the ADVANCED Codecs, choose to [x] Disable Media Foundation for MP4 on the MPG~MP4 TAB

If an MP4 file fails to play properly with (subtitles - audio?) or any other issue.
using the STANDARD Codecs, choose to [x] Disable Media Foundation for MP4 on the SWAP TAB

If MP4 problems persist after trying the above solution,
it is also helpful to disable the Microsoft Video and/or Audio decoder(s) on the SWAP TAB

I hope this helps. Actually, I don't hope this helps, I hope it solves your problem directly. Now I can use Media Player for just about everything.
