Make sure you have installed Windows Media Player 11, with Media Player 9 you can't play video in mediaelement.

I had the same problem in xp, and when i have installed media player 11 I have solved this problem.

You can play all formats, but you must install a codec pack.

Sorry for my english, but I'm Italian :)

Yes, installing WMP 11 resolved problem.

Wow, that comment was from 2010 :-)
It is probable that you don't have the right media codecs installed in XP. Depending on versions and SKU's, Windows comes with a number of codecs. It is probable that the codec you selected is not available in your environment.
