I downloaded a tv serie and played it later on my windows media player. I
then burned it on a USB stick so my husband could see it too.
He also uses Windows media player, but the codec is not recognized on his
laptop. I used Gspot to find out the codec on the tv serie and it says:
codec wmv 2 name WMPv8.
Any one an idea why one media player will play the serie and the other one
does not?

There is also a possiblity that the codec isn't selected in the settings of
his WMP.
The advise is to search on the internet for the necessary codec and install
it.

Try one of these;
