First, you can't play a DVD on Windows media player because this is a video player and it cannot play DVD. So in this case, you need to download a dvd player on your computer. Then you can play a DVD. Here are some free DVD players for you:

1. Leawo Blu-ray Player
It is recommended as the best free DVD playing software also since it is a free Blu-ray player to playback all Blu-ray discs (regardless of disc protection and region codes), a free HD media player to play up to 1080p and 4K videos,

2. WinX DVD Player
This is a region-free player, the same as Leawo Blu-ray player.
Great audio and video quality
Supports a large range of files
Takes screenshots and has bookmark function


3. 5KPlayer
It is a widely acclaimed free media player capable of playing DVDs on Windows 10 (64 bit and 32 bit), 8.1, 8, 7, etc.

It seems you don't have any codecs... The problem is not in windows media player.
Just install a codec pack like http://www.free-codecs.com/download/codec_pack_all_in_1.htm

Hope to solve your problem.

Does it show that it's playing? Check the software options to see if it's set to mute anywhere in there.

SOURCE: i downloaded an avi. movie from a bit torrent but

Hi,

Click on the link below and download VLC media player >>>>>>>




http://www.videolan.org/vlc/




Try load the AVI in that. If it still won't play then you have wasted your time downloading a fake file.
A good idea is to read any comments left on the torrent site you use before you download any files.


Regards.

SOURCE: i have a compaq presario

Go to google and do a search for Kazaa Codec Pack. Download and install the pack. That should take care of it, if the source files weren't encoded with the audio out of sync.

Windows media player doesnt play dvd movies

Simply install a DVD player separately or DVD Codec for Window's Media Player. The reason why Window's Media Player can not play the DVD movies is that it does not has a DVD codec to play it. The simplest solution to do it is to install a DVD Player program and Window's Media Player will start playing DVD movies.
