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.

I hope this helps.

    I would say that you can download the last packs of codec for Windows Media Player to the Internet and check out them. Make a search using your favorite search engine.

  • No reading DVD with Windows Media Player

    WMA crashed

    I used to use Nero on my old computer. I built a new computer and bought Vista and liked the use of Nero I installed it on Vista. During the installation it windows warned me that there is perhaps a conflict if I installed it. I went a head with him and of course, there was and nero would not work. I tried to uninstall it and was able to complete the removal of the program, because it has a conflict and stops. At this stage the WMP always worked very well. Recently, I installed a DIVX player... not by choice... I wasn't thjought I DL update or something, not a media player and pay any attention to any. So I removed the player and now I can't watch a DVD in my media player more. He tells me that windows media player has stopped working. I send the reports to help set and have nothing in return as in to solve the problem

    What are my options? Thank you!

    Hello casey_,

    Thank you for your response.

    In addition to the Bindu response, you can also try to perform a restore of the system to an earlier point before the installation of the program, and then check the issue. For more information about the use of system restore, please see the link below: System Restore

    If the problem persists, please relay the error message received when you try to play a DVD with Windows Media Player, and if the problem occurs when you try to play the DVD or single.

  • Windows 8 - can't burn the disc with Windows Media Player after you refresh the PC as well.

    Original title: cannot burn, was ok and then nothing, has had this problem for a week now, redrawn, changed registry, tried everything?

    Windows Media Player could not complete burning because the disc is not compatible with your drive. Try to insert another type of recordable media or use a disc that supports a write speed that is compatible with your drive.

  • Cannot copy a CD with Windows Media Player because there is not an option in this sense: Win 7 HPE

    I can't figure out how to rip tracks from a CD with Windows Media Player.  Loading of WMP, there is not listed as a choice of menu option or a tab options which includes RIP.  I see the titles of the tracks on the CD appears on the left of the screen and to PLAY BURN, and sync tabs in the upper right.  Choose BURN change the screen to tell that I can drag the titles to this area to be burned.  I tried to choose individual tracks and dragging their but nothing has changed.  I tried selecting all tracks with the same result.  I tried selecting a range, right click to get the context menu, but there is no other choice in the menu.  I found a how-to, but the view shown for WMP is not the same that I see.

    A screenshot:

    He is there software - see this link for an example (IE I do not recommend it!)

    http://www.ehow.com/how_5790301_rip-audio-tracks-DVD.html

    .. .but it always have to be careful with third party software - it can cause problems. Do some overlap before hitting the "Download" button and do not forget to uncheck the boxes for any unwanted attached to it.

    Regarding how I pick up? Pure just knowing how to look at the screens! Insert correct cd and you will see the difference.

  • Where can I get directions to EXTRACT only the audio of a DVD with Windows Media Player v11

    Have investigated this question on the NET and seen various solutions (freeware), but I have just started using WMP to migrate my CD music in MP3 format.

    I have some great DVD rip also I want. Any direction is appreciated!

    Hi PEL7176,

    Windows media player only supports the extraction of CD and DVD not.

    You may need to use a third-party software to perform this procedure.

    NOTE: Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be resolved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

  • 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:

    Info about DVD decoders:
    Plug-ins for Windows Media Player
    http://www.Microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/plugins.aspx

    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:

    VLC Media Player

    A last possibility would be to install a codec Pack:
