    When ever i try to play .wav audio files i get this error from WMP10:

    Windows Media Player Error Message Help

    You've encountered error message C00D10D1 while using Windows Media Player. The following information might help you troubleshoot the issue.


    Codec is missing
    Windows Media Player cannot play the file (or cannot play either the audio or video portion of the file) because the -0010-8000-00AA00389B71} codec is not installed on your computer.

    The missing codec might be available to download from the Internet. To search for the -0010-8000-00AA00389B71} codec, go to the WMPlugins.com Web site.

    .wavs don't work in any other program and the help site they give me turns up nothung

    Are these .WAV files downloaded or did you rip them yourself.

    Audio file from a DVD that I will mux /w the video if I can convert it to mp3. I've tried several converters but they all say I need the Fourcc codec for a .wav file

    Hi,
    Try AC3Filter, in case the DVD audio is not really in WAV format...
    WAV support is native to Windows (and it is really not easy to remove) so, I hope this helps.
    Any software DVD player or also the full version of Nero will install an AC3 codec, but Windows itself does not support it ie. WMP will not play DVDs without first installing both audio and video codecs.
    Once you install Nero, behold! Your WMP will play DVDs now.
    Anyway, here is AC3Filter. Good luck,
    Regards
