Cannot read dvd, says that a compatible decoder is installed
decoder for Windows media player
I have windows XP Service pack 3. I'm playing commercial DVD discs using Windows Media Player, but I get a massage: Windows Media Player cannot play the DVD because no compatible DVD decoder is not installed on your computer. How can I get an appropriate encoder?
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:
(FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)
Restore point before installing software or updates)
Info about DVD decoders:
Plug-ins for Windows Media Player
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/downloads/Windows-Media-Player/plug-ins
Or you can download and use one of the following freeware
media players:
VLC Media Player

(works on XP/Vista/7)
Media Player Classic Home Cinema
http://MajorGeeks.com/Media_Player_Classic_Home_Cinema_d6213.html
(works on XP/Vista/7)
Or... you can try to download and install one of the
Following codec packs.
(FWIW... it is always preferable, if you create a system restore
point before installing any software or updates).
* Proceed at your own risk *.
(1) K-Lite Codec Pack (full)

Portable Satellite 1800-750 cannot read DVDs that require files avi (codec)
my laptop satellite S1800-750 cannot read DVDs that require avi (codec) files. l have updated dvd drivers and upgrades of my multimedia player of series 10, but nothing helped. I need emergency aid.
Hello
I suggest, that it can not ONLY play .avi files. Am I wrong?
In this case, you need additional codecs.
This has nothing to do with the DVD drivers or firmware.
Check the internet for the codec. I'm sure you will find a lot of info if you want to google a bit.Good luck

Different geographical region cannot read DVD
Why if I always buy a disc of DVD (Korean film) WMP says that "Windows Media Player cannot play the DVD because the disc prohibits playback in your region of the world. You must obtain a disc that is intended for your geographic region. »
Anyone can solve my problem?See http://www.ehow.com/how_6226370_change-region-windows-media-player.html
Important: The region can change only a limited number of times. When changes remaining equals 1, and then select a new region, an alert is displayed to warn you that after this, you only will be able to play DVDs from that region, even if you reinstall Windows or move the DVD drive to another computer. Be aware that you will not be able to change the region setting for some DVD hardware and software decoders.

Satellite Pro A40: CD-RW/DVD drive cannot read DVD
Hello
The reader combo CD-RW/DVD on my Satellite Pro A40 (14 months) stopped reading DVDs (DVD - R or the video, have not tried other types), although it can play DVDs some time. I've cleaned the disc by using a cleaning disc. I think the problem started when I upgraded the OS to WinXP SP1 to SP2, but not sure. I tried CD - R and CD - RW writing and no errors were reported, but the CD that result are unusable (can't be read in the drive, with the LED blinks a few times and then to infinity).
Someone has an idea how solve this ptoblem? Thank you
Richard
Hi Richard,
I suggest that you go the Device Manager on your laptop and then remove your devive DVD-ROM in the list. When you have done this and then select the option "Find new hardware" and allow Windows XP Reinstall the device and associate the appropriate driver.
