I recorded video from my Sony DVR-DVD505 digital camcorder and uploaded the vid files to my computer. In Window Media Player, I can see and hear the video, but when I try to open it in any other program i can't hear the audio. There is an exclamation point in WMP with the following message: Windows Media Player cannot identify the name of the missing codec. However, its globally unique identifier (GUID) is 1B81BE0A-A0C7-11D3-B984-00C04F2E73C5 It cannot play the file because a required codec was not installed. Upon going for web help the error message is C00D10D1. This took me to the wmplugin.com website. Which gave me the message... The codec you are missing is not available for download from this site. You might be able to find it on another site by searching the Web for "{1B81BE0A-A0C7-11D3-B984-00C04F2E73C5}" (this is the WaveFormat or FourCC identifier of the codec). Upon searching in google on this (GUID) I found nothing. I'm trying to edit these video clips b/c they're so long, but none of my movie editing software is recognizing any audio and even in WMP it's kind of choppy and interupted. HELP! Thanks a ton!
Use Gspot to figure out the name of the codec by loading the avi file into there. Once you have the name of the codec you should be able to find it easily. Also CCCP is a good collection of codecs you may want to look into.
