FIX: Hardware-Created ASF Files Stop Playing in Media Player 9 Series
SYMPTOMS:
*************
When you try to play back certain ASF files created by hardware devices, you may receive the following error message approximately three or four minutes after playback has started:0xC00D1199 -- Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The file is either corrupt or the Player does not support the format you are trying to play.

The file is either corrupt or the Player does not support the format you are trying to play.
CAUSE
When applications built on the Windows Media Format play back files, the applications make certain checks to determine if a packet is valid. The Windows Media Format incorrectly handles a case where the time wraps around because of the maximum value possible for numeric data types.

FIX: Updates for Windows Media Player 9 Series and for Windows Media Player 10
SYMPTOMS:
************
This article describes the updates for the following issues that may occur in Microsoft Windows Media Player 9 Series and in Windows Media Player 10:
• Windows Media Player may ignore a fractional STARTTIME value and a fractional DURATION value for a non-English locale.
• A memory leak may occur when you play back DVR-MS files in Windows Media Player. • Script commands may not start in Windows Media Player after a seeking operation.
• In certain situations, certain types of Windows Media Digital Rights Management (WMDRM)-protected content may cause Windows Media Player to redirect a user to a Web page to acquire a license without prior warning. This redirect may occur even if a user has cleared the Acquire licenses automatically for protected content check box on the Privacy tab of the Options dialog box.
CAUSE:
*******
The following list is a brief summary of the cause of each issue that is listed in the "Symptoms" section, respectively:
• The code in Windows Media Player that parses the .asx files relies on the English "." character as the separating decimal symbol and did not acknowledge any other separating decimal symbol.
• The Windows Media Player left the underlying filter graph in a paused state when it tried to shut down. This condition left references open and caused a leak.
• A flag within Windows Media Player was not correctly set. Therefore, the timers did not start when the script command occurred. • The privacy option setting does not properly prevent WMDRM-protected content from opening a Web page without requesting permission.
