Cannot play a DVD in Windows Media Player

When you try to play a DVD on my PC using Windows Media Player, Real Player, etc.. I get an error that reads: "Windows Media Player cannot play this DVD because there is a problem with the digital copy between your DVD drive decoder and video card protection. Try to install a driver available for your video card. I searched everywhere for an answer and although there seems to be a LOT out there with the same problem, I can't seem to find a straight answer. All Microsoft support is appreciated.

===============================================
DVD playback requires a DVD decoder and the only versions
Vista that included in Home Premium and Ultimate.

Take a look at the following article:

I get "Windows Media Player cannot play this DVD
because a problem occurred with digital copyright protection"(C00D1163)?
http://www.Microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/KnowledgeCenter/mediaadvice/0094.mspx#E3B

DVD decoders are available at the following link:

FWIW... before installing the software, it is always better to create a system restore point.

And... you can be able to play your DVDs with the free VLC Media Player:

A last possibility would be to install a codec Pack:

CCCP (combined Community Codec Pack)

  • When I play a DVD on Windows Media Player I get almost no noise through the external speaker on my laptop

    Original title: no volume when playing DVDs

    When I play a DVD on Windows media player I get almost no sound through the external speaker on my laptop. I get some, but it is too weak to really enjoy the movie. If I use headphones I can hear the DVD very well, and I can hear the clips DVD sample provided with my computer on my speakers and headphones. If the computer can generate the volume correctly, but something goes wrong, whenever I try to play a DVD that is not on my hard drive. I tried every button volume already. Thank you

    Hi amorchien,

    1. He played very well earlier?

    2 have you tried to play the DVD in another computer?

    Step 1:

    In Windows Media Player.

    a. click on tools and select Options

    b. click on devices and click on DVD, then select Properties.

    c. make sure that Rip and playback are in digital mode.

    Step 2:

    This problem can be caused by incompatible codecs. I suggest that remove you / uninstall all installed third-party codec packs, players or video record programs.

  • Cannot read the DVD with Windows Media Player

    Running WIndows Server 2008 R2.  Desktop experience is responsible.  In my view, that it includes Windows Media Player V12.

    Try to play the DVD.  The message "setting resolution".  Setting resolution does not help.

    Installed K-Lite Codec Pack full.  Get the same message on the resolution setting.  Uninstall K - Lite Codec Pack now I get ' WMP cannot play the DVD because no compatible DVD decoder is not installed on your computer.

    I'm a novice and dangerous, so no "step-by-steps" would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi MarkMann,

    Your question of Windows is more complex than what is generally answered in the Microsoft Answers forums. It is better suited for Windows Server on TechNet. Please post your question in the TechNet Windows Server forum.

    Since then, we have no way of knowing what you've already tried...
    Maybe something in the following information will be helpful:

    FWIW... Win XP cannot natively recognize Commercial
    DVD video... it requires a DVD decoder.

    If you could play before commercial video DVD...
    do a system restore to a time before this started
    may be your solution.

    Or you could buy a DVD decoder at the following link:

    Info about DVD decoders:

    Or... you can try to download and install "a" of the

  • Cannot play songs from "m4a" Windows Media Player or Movie Maker, purchased & downloaded on iTunes songs

    My PC: Windows Vista Business
    Browser: Internet Explorer 8
    Problem: I am changing a video with Windows Movie Maker. To add music, I bought and downloaded a number of songs with my iTunes account. The songs play on my PC only when you use the iTunes software. The extension of file on the songs is "m4a".

    When I try to play one of the songs in Windows Media Player, I get the following message:

    "Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The player might not support the file type or does not support the codec used to compress the file. »

    When I try to import one of the songs in Windows Movie Maker, I get the following message:

    "More than a Feeling.m4a cannot be imported because the codec required to play the file is not installed on your computer. If you have already tried to download and install the codec, close and restart Windows Movie Maker, and then try to re-import the file. »

    Where can I find the "codec" above to download?  This will solve my problem?  Any advice to avoid this problem in the future?

    ==================================
    M4A is not a compatible format. The simple solution
    is to convert .m4a files in .wma format and
    then import into Movie Maker.

    The following free Converter works for me...

    Free Mp3 Wma Converter
    http://www.download.com/free-MP3-WMA-converter/3000-2140_4-10442362.html
    (FWIW if you install the converter, you can uncheck
    offerings from Yahoo and Dealio) (also... you can uncheck
    the CD Ripper and Easy MP3 Cutter)

    John Inzer - MS - MVP - digital media experience

    ==================================
    I joined just thinking... the free VLC Media Player
    and or Media Player Classic allows you to 'play '.
    your files of .m4a... but they will have to if conversion
    you want to use in Movie Maker.

  • Cannot play music files in Windows media player hard disk external.

    Hello

    I tried for a while to play the transferred music from my hard drive external.

    I tried all sorts of things with WMP and it's just not going to play the files.

    I canoe play my music.

    The thing is that it shows the albums and songs listed there.

    But when I open a song and try to hit the room then a box opens with a warning.

    Say that Windows Media Player cannot find file.

    This has never been a problem with older media players.

    I tried to re - download the player, but it's not part of windows more I guess and that sucks.

    I want the old player back.

    This was very frustrating, I hope someone can help.

    Thank you.

  • Can not hear people talking when playing a dvd in windows media player. Can hear the background music but no voice

    When I play a dvd in my computer, regardless if it is the drive of 'E' or 'F', you can not the voice of the people speaking.  But you can hear background noise etc.  Just can't get the voice of the talking. Crazy ha?  It is not sensible.

    Hi the kidd.
     
    1 are the original DVD where have they been burned?
    2. not this problem occurs during playback of the audio files on the drive of the computer?
    3. What is the file format of the files on DVD?
    4. from when are you facing this problem?
    5. does happen with mp3 files?

    I suggest following these steps suggested below and check if this solves the problem.
     
    Step 1:
     
    Try the effect parameters to Turn Off the SRS WOW in Windows Media Player.
     
    Follow the steps below to do the same. Another user seems to have solved a similar problem by disabling SRS WOW effects.
     
    a. Click Start, click all programs and then click Windows Media Player.
    b. in playback mode, right-click an open space in the player
    Tips: If the player is currently open and that you are using the library, click the view, then choose now play to switch to game mode now.
    c. point to enhancements, and then click SRS WOW effects.
    d. "SRS Wow effects" Panel appears at the top. From there, you can turn off the feature.
     
    Step 2:
     
    Try to run the troubleshooting of Audio playback and check if this may help.
     
    a. open the Troubleshoot utility to play a sound by clicking the Start button, then Control Panel.
    (b) in the search box, type troubleshooting and then click Troubleshooting.

    A workaround to resolve the problem, you can follow the steps below.
     
    a. Click Start, type Sound in the box to start the search.
    b. click sound in the results of search at the top of the start menu.
    c. click the reading notice the check mark next to the default device. For most users, the default device is speakers. Make sure that the audio settings are configured as expected.
     
    Then, you can check you have connected the correct speakers to outputs of your sound card, some sound cards have several outputs for front and rear speakers and even subwoofers, check them out.
     
    You can also check if your sound card has its own table of sound mixing or program effects. Some cards have a program outside the Windows speaker beside clock volume icon. Some programs may have set up your speakers for surround, double check windows audio configurations and your sound card audio for Dolby Surround options and enabled and try to turn them off.

  • STOP 0x0000008e error message when you try to play a DVD in Windows Media Player 11

    When I insert a DVD in my Media Player, I get a BSOD that has the above noted the error code and wrote the installed nv4_disp.dll is the culprit.  However, I can play in Real Player DVD and Roxio Movie Player NVIDIA said that I had an oroblem of Microsoft.

    What is it?

    Your long explanation sent me on the right track in that I got rid of the blue screen problem.  However, WMP said that he could not play DVD unless I have reduced the screen resolution or installed a MPEG-2 decoder.  Reduce the resolution did nothing so I installed a NVidea video decoder and DVD will now be read.

  • Cannot play .mp4 files on Windows Media Player, Version 11.0.6002.1811 extensions.

    My daughter to download a Youtube video on my desktop, and when I try to play, a message appears that says: "the selected file has an extension (.mp4) that is not recognized by Windows Media Player, but the player may still be able to play.

I use WMP version: 11.0.6002.1811 and using Vista. Thanks in advance.
