SOLVED (well sorta)
Win 7 machine has a Asus X99-Deluxe mobo and the Realtek audio hardware. I did NOT have a microphone plugged in when recording with Faststone. VMP would NOT play these recordings, VLC and WMP and MM would play these. I then plugged in a microphone and it worked a treat.
Win 8.1 is a i7 Sony Vaio. Built-in mic. Works fine with VMP. I disable the microphone and VMP will NOT play back the recorded video. I re-enable the microphone and re-record and all is fine.
So, microphone needs plugging in when recording Faststone for VMP to read Fastone recordings.
Note: ConvertXtoVideo displays same problems as VMP. ie, the wmv files recorded without a microphone will display an error "filename: No video stream found"
So, I guess it's a shared issue here. I have yet to try this procedure on another machine that does NOT have a microphone hardware, but I expect similar results.
