The most common error that occurs in Windows media player is C00d1199 error. When the player is unable to play a certain type of file, the user can encounter this error message while using the Media player offered by Windows Microsoft.

For many reasons the media player may be unable to play the file we select. The most primary reason of all is that, a problem may be associated with audio or video file itself. Let us first discuss all possible reasons in detail. The file that we wish to play may have been corrupted. Windows media player supports only certain type of file. So the file which we have selected may not be compatible with the media player for it to play. Even if the file type is supported, the Windows media player may still be unable to play because that file might have been compressed and the codec required for doing that compression may not be supported by the player. Playing a file in a way suitable for the media player is very important. The file may be supported by the player but the way we try to play it does matter. Dragging a file with the extension .vob (which is actually a DVD file) to the windows media player icon cannot play that selected file. Opening a .vob file by choosing the Open option on File menu too cannot play the file chosen. The file which we try to play may be a part of one file that contains multiple parts. In that case, that single file cannot be played. Attempting to play a DVD with no proper DVD plug-ins installed, cannot open the required file.

Windows media player can play only a selected list of files. Those that are not supported are not played leaving this error code C00d1199 message. For example, .rm and .ram files cannot be played by WMP. Let us see some of the file types supported by WMP. A CD audio format of file type with extension .cda; files with the extension .aif, .wmp, .mpeg are very few examples of the type of files it can play.

C00d1199 is a very common error message any one can experience while using improper file format for playing certain types of file. Media player itself will prompt us to download the necessary codec required to overcome this problem.

C00d1199 is purely Windows dependant. Other operating systems like Linux, Macintosh etc. do not face this problem. The error message once displayed clearly states down the type of the problem associated with a pop-up dialog box, thus enabling us to take necessary actions to rectify and try playing them again.

Video LAN Client media player or VLC media player can play any type of file regardless of the format of the file and the compression technique used. GOM player is no exception. It is in par with VLC to offer the user with many features necessary for a media player to play the files. They are capable of playing even the broken files. Both VLC and GOM players have in-built audio and video codecs and thus they do not create any error message similar to C00d1199 displayed by WMP.
