In this way, so I recommended DVD disc export movie to MP4 format files. If the MP4 files are not corrupt, the main reason may be the MP4 video codec problem. MP4 is a container format which may contain multiple video and audio streams. And the video and audio stream can be encoded any of several ways. If the mp4 file was encoded with a non-Microsoft codec or with a codec not installed on your Windows, you will fail to watch this kind of MP4 video. Though we can make WMC play MP4 video by installing some codec, sometime we still encounter can't play MP4 in Windows Media Center issue, let alone it is so complicated to most users.
