Need some help with a DVD decoder.......
Need some help with a DVD decoder.......
Hello all, I have sorta' recently built a nice amd comp (ok, ok, nice for a buget) with a 3200+ amd, corsair XMS 1GB, e-vega geforce 6800, etc. and, of course, windows XP pro. Well, I have been using WMP 10 for songs and stuff and have just downloaded the beta WMP 11 and with both versions it says that I don't have a compatible decoder on the computer. Well the guy in circut city said that WMP 10 should be sufficient to play DVD's but no luck. The DVD burner/writer thingy is oem from newegg. is it a driver prob or what?
Hi All,
What you need is a CODEC to go along with with Windows media player.
Here's a link to a free one

Re: ......
It came with my DVD writer. And another copy came with my Dad's DVD player (which I still haven't put in his PC yet. ) You can get a trial version here.ArkiteXJ wrote:pcrobot, did you buy power dvd or how did you get it?
Here is another free DVD player called Action DVD Player. Or if you'd like more choices... here's a Download.com search for DVD players. Some are limited trials, but some are 100% free.
Most Dells ship with PowerDVD installed. Did you have PowerDVD before you reformatted? When you reformatted, you probably lost it. If there wasn't a CD with PowerDVD on it, call Dell and they should send you one.
