is there a codec error message??0

Its usually the codec not on the machine . Not playing in these circumstances sounds like non standard format as VLC plays near enough all standard formats .
Google for GSpot that will tell you format and codec .

it all seems rather random, as to what file plays, or not..Long time away from MSE, been dealing real life stuff..
