Windows Media Player Plus

Why is it that for videos in the mp4 format, some can be played normally, while for some others, only the sound can be played but the picture cannot be displayed after opening? Are there any solutions to this problem? Or are there any other plugins that can solve this problem?

Sorry, but your question is completely unrelated to Windows Media Player Plus. It looks like you created a separate post that was then merged with this topic. I'm not sure why it was merged though.

The short answer is that mp4 is a container and not a format. Whether your media player, whatever one it is, can play the video depends on whether it contains a decoder for the video format contained within the mp4 file. MPC-HC, VLC, Kodi, and others will play most all video formats whereas the Windows Media Player has required plugins for certain formats.

This won't tell you why it's not playing, but MediaInfoOnline can show you the format details for the audio & video and you'll be able to see the difference.

MedioInfo can also be installed on your computer (free).
