As for me, im used to using something called Daniusoft dvd ripper to backup dvds to computer or other devices like iPad/iPod/iPhone/zune/Blackberry...

As a result, in the first place i can watching dvd movies any time and any place, in the second place this can prevent losting or damaging dvd disc.

If its a dvd decoder its probably not a codec (XVid Divx) issue, it is likely your dvd decoder. Try ripping dvds or installing a different decoder. Which decoder package do you have?

Hi,
are you trying to play DVDs from a different region ?
PC DVD Drives, are region set to the computer, if you have a region 1 dvd drive, trying to play region 2 dvds et,c. it won,t let you. theres a couple of ways around this. go to Afterdawn ( on the web ) and download a region free dvd device.
Solution 2. try to obtain any updates or re-install windows media player. suggest player version 9 or above.

Mike @ compurepair.

p.s finally is to check that your drive, indeed supports DVD Or certain types of dvd media. i.e DVD+ Or DVD- some only support One type.

Dvd drive on laptop
You need a piece of software to play DVD movies. Is this an actual DVD movie, or is it an MP4 or WMV/WMA file?

Usually you need something like WinDVD to play a DVD movie. I don't think Media Player can play those.

Did you recently install another piece of software that might have affected your ability to play DVDs?
