Hi,
You need a codec to play the video file. A codec is software that is used to compress or decompress a digital media file, such as a song or video. Windows Media Player and other programs use codec to play and create digital media files.
You may refer to the below link for further guidance on the issue:

You may also use your favorite search engine to download and install a codec as per the file type you need to use.
