Loading a WMV file generates error on SolveigMM Video Splitter

Before installing the application, you should check first if it is compatible with your operating system and the files it supports so you will know if you need to convert a file first before you can split it using the application. Since you are using Microsoft Windows XP, I don’t see any problem. And also with WMV files, this file format is supported.

If you are using an old version, it will help if you will upgrade to SolveigMM Video Splitter 4. It supports Windows 2000, Windows 2003, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8. The supported file formats include FLV, AVC/H.264, MP4, AVCHD, MOV, MPEG-2, MPEG-1, MKV, AVI, WMV, MP3, and WMA. I think the reason why you can’t open WMV files with SolveigMM Video Splitter is because you are in Microsoft Windows XP.

And because you are in Windows XP, you normally have Windows Media Player 9 which is actually not a problem because it is still supported. But the problem is if you want to open WMV files, it will require you to have the Windows Media Format 11 Series Runtime which is only available in Windows Media Player 11.

To fix this, you can either update your Windows Media Player to version 11 from version 9 or just install the runtime update. If you decide to just download the runtime, visit Windows Media Format 11 Runtime and then install it on your computer to fix the problem.
