What is a compatible DVD decoder for Windows Media Player (read more)?

What does Windows Media Player cannot play the DVD because a compatible DVD decoder is not installed on your computer.” mean?

Do I need to go out and buy something and download/install it to the laptop in order for it to play on Windows Media? It’s not a bootleg copy if that’s what you’re thinking, any help would be great.

Answer #1

That your computer is unable to play movies. You need to install the right software.

Answer #2

What is the right software? Can I find it online? Does it cost anything? Or do I have to go out and search for it in stores?

Answer #3

This sounds like the problem is not with WMP, but rather with your computer’s ability to read the DVD - perhaps an old DVD drive incompatible with a newer disk format? Or it might be a problem with the disk. Does your drive read other DVDs successfully? Can another computer read the failed movie DVD successfully?
