Windows media has sound but no visual when playing movies from usb
It may be due to damaged video files. When Windows Media Player only has no image in the sound, you should first check if the video file is damaged or not. Also, graphics card damage and lack of proper video codec should be considered.
Your media player might be having problems getting the video feed from the USB. try copying the file to your local disk and play the movie from there.
Most probably you lack the codecs which are necessary for your media player to play the movies.
try the following links:

sometimes you may require different codecs, it's a matter of downloading these codecs and see what happens... also, I would advise you to save the movies on your computer before playing them in media player.
First you will have either copy and pate the movie or download it to your usb drive
One of the benefits of putting files on a USB flash drive is that you can make any type of file portable.
This includes not only documents, spreadsheets and photos, but also media like video clips and movies.
If you have movies saved on your flash drive that you want to view, watching the movies directly from the USB drive is a simple process and can be achieved on almost any computer.
Connect your USB drive to the device on which you want to watch your movies.
This includes all USB-compatible computers, as well as some select television-compatible devices (like the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 or Sony Media Extender).
Launch the file explorer application on your device.
In Windows, access this utility by accessing the "Computer" application and then double-clicking the USB drive to display the files.
If you are trying to watch the movie files on a compatible television device, look for a "media," "device" or "USB input" application or button to bring up the file explorer.
Select the movie file you want to play.
In Windows, do this by double-clicking on the file.
The appropriate media-handling program should automatically launch and begin playing the movie automatically.
If you are using a television device, select the file from the list of compatible files in the device's internal explorer system.
hope this helps
