Why Does Error Code 0xc00d5212 occur?

Now, open the converted file in a media player. Hopefully, the video file will run smoothly.

Conclusion

We hope the troubleshooting methods shared in this blog will help you fix error code 0xc00d5212 that popped up when you tried playing a video file on a media player viz. Movies & TV or Windows Media Player. One way to circumvent the error is to try a different media player, say VLC that supports a lot of codecs.

If that doesn’t help, then install missing or corrupt codec for the error in your media player, update your PC’s display adapter, and uninstall multiple audio codecs.

Sometimes, converting the .AVI, .MOV, or .MKV video format to .MP4 can fix the error. Even rectifying the registry by using a registry repair or cleaner software can resolve the issue. Also, restoring your system to the previous date (when there wasn’t any error) by using a system restore point is always useful. You should also install the latest Windows Update.

Lastly, if the above troubleshooting methods can’t make your video file playable, then there might be severe video file corruption issue. We recommend trying out an expert software for video repair such as Stellar Repair for Video to fix any video corruption problem.
