DVD decoder

[Train]

Seems the server is still down.

You missed taking out a check mark during the install.

I have done that a few times and just changed the file association.
Open WMP go tools, options, select the file type tab. Make your changes there. It worked for me.
Media player classic is 6.4

Yes, I have 10 and they work fine for me.

I use the full because the Quicktime and Real alternatives do not give me the fits as the take over your computer real thing does. And they work just fine

Try downloading this, will let you know all codecs installed on your PC and can analyze what codec is needed to play movie:

wojo - I downloaded gspot, but I have no idea how to use it to analyze what codec is needed. I did see that vob and sub files were highlighted in green and the dvd lists that it has vob and sub files.

Train - I went into WMP and into tools and to files types tab. There I saw that making WMP the default player for dvd had a dark mark over the check mark like it wasn't enabled. I checked that and it was light just like all the other check marks that work. I then went and tried to play the dvd and got the same error message: that WMP player can't open the dvd because there is no dvd decoder.

fink -- yes, I got the numbers wrong. It is version 6 not 9.

Also, when you put a CD in, there is that box that opens on the desk top that provides you with a list of options. There I see an option to play dvds using WM classic. But it doesn't offer me the option of using WMP to play dvds.

So I guesss I can keep playing dvds on WM classic and Cds on WMP -- unles you can tell me what else to do?

Why don't you go to www.cliprex.com and download and use the Cliprex DVD Player Professional - Free DVD player software. Download it, install it and then use that to play DVDs instead of WMP. I tried it myself, I guess it does have an ad ware toolbar, but you could probrably remove that after it's installed. I guess it's up to you. Is there any free, good DVD player software that doesn't have ad or spyware in it?
