Windows Media Player stopped playing .mov files
I have K-lite mega codec pack and didn't had problems and Windows Media Player can play a lot of video files.
Recently, Before power interruption i can play .mov files in my Windows Media Player but after the power interruption, my computer restarted and when i try to play .mov it won't. It immediately said "Windows Media Player encountered a problem while playing the file. For additional assistance, click Web Help."
The power interruption was just for about 2 seconds, the power went off then after about 2 seconds it came back that's why my computer just restarted.
Just a few seconds before the power interruption i went AFK while i was converting a .mov to XVID avi but i'm 90% sure it was done before the power interruption.
Quicktime Player, media player classic and some of my players can still play .mov.
Try StreamFab Downloader and download from Netflix, Amazon, Youtube! Or Try DVDFab and copy Blu-rays! or rip iTunes movies!

i searched in google for some help and i found in a forum that he went to Registry Editor and under HKEY_CLASS_ROOT down to Media etc., there is a .mov and .mp4 keys there. In clicking the .mp4 key there is the "source filter" on the right. I copied the value of it and went to the source filter of .mov then replaced it with the .mp4 value. Then i tried opening a .mov with WMP it worked.
The value there implies ffdshow codec.
Another thing i noticed, i cannot play .flv anymore too, but before the power interruption i can, i even played some .flv.
Then, i knew ffdshow can play flv so i just did the same with .flv.
If i do this, won't it affect my encoding jobs?
