How do I play videos in Windows Media Player 11 that come up with error code: C00D1199?

try using a codec pack download and install this. http://www.codecguide.com/download_k-lite_codec_pack_basic.htm during the installation the option for video formats on windows media shows up select all video and audio formats if this doesnt solve your problem try using VLC player. its free and plays pretty much every video format http://www.videolan.org/vlc/

The file is either corrupted or you don't have the correct codecs. The files are most likely corrupted because of the recovery process, because something can easily go wrong. There's probably a way to fix the files you've recovered but it'd probably be tedious. If codecs is the problem, download and install this: http://www.cccp-project.net/ It contains codecs for many different file types such as MPEG4, which has become a pretty popular format for HD files. If the videos still don't play, then you probably have yourself some corrupted video files. Otherwise, try recovering the files in a different way to see if it works then.
