    THERE ARE 100'S OF VIDEO CODEC
    MS DOES NOT WANT TO PAY A LICENSE FEE FOR ALL.
    AND THEN MAKE WINDOWS COST YOU $300 OR MORE.
    SO GET VLC, IT'S FREE.
    NOW You know the way, and the simple cure.
    or spend all day loading codecs I can not guess
    ive no idea what is on your disk at all
    dvd real movie i guess,
    I have disks with just mp4 on them and mKV
    and more, lots more.
    but if dvd is off the shelf at walmart that is a real, DVD +VOB movie. and copy protected it is.
    VLC gets them all and for free

    the huge list of support is here

Hi,
You probably need to update the codecs on the machine, get K-Lite codec pack here, download and install it >>>>>>>>

Your program lacks the DVD decoder. Here are some of the free player recommendations for your reference:
1. Leawo Blu-ray Player
This player is a free 4K and Blu-ray player which can support most video and audio formats.
2. VLC Media Player
This is an open-source player and you can add some other codec packs into it. But VLC doesn't support commercial Blu-ray discs
3. GOM Player
Not only DVD, it could play files in formats such as AVI, DAT, MPEG, DivX, XviD, WMV, ASF. It's also capable of playing even the damaged video files by skipping the frames.

A couple of suggestions.
1) Download HP Support Assistant to check for updates on your machine
2) I assume you are using Windows Media Player. Try another free program like VLC. Its handy to have 2 installed so you can toggle between the 2 if one is having problems.

New lcd tv and dvd player is playing movies in black & white

1. Verify connections are color coded.

2. If they are correct, take out movie, press Play/Stop at same time on the front of the unit (not remote) to reset any settings that may have been changed.

My windows media player wont play movies

Try downloading VLC player, if this does not play your videos then it is your Drive that needs a driver update or has gone bad. If VLC player does play it or asks you to install mpeg2 codecs, then all you need to do is google "mpeg2 codec download for windows media player X" (X being the current version of WMplayer you are using). The reason behind this problem is that Windows media player does not come preloaded with a full library of codecs, there are packages of codecs that you can download such as divx codecs that will have the majority of commonly used video compression decompressors.

What do you think is much better to have; PSP, Portable DVD Player or Iphone?

psp get boring dvd players only play videos and music. i phone does everything get the iphone all the way and iphone but it ends up costing so much moeny.. psp - pictures movies music games and wifi web browser
portable dvd player - dvds on the go
iphone - pictures movies music games data apps phone, etc
the dvd player will be the cheapest, one time fee, then after that you just need dvds, the psp will be good for more than one thing, making it superior to the dvd player, and then theres iphone. well, with a monthly fee, it may not be what your looking for. but if you need a phone its the best..
