  • Why isn't Windows Media Player DVD more play?

    I played DVD on my Windows XP Home edition before, he always played them very well, but then suddenly it stopped reading DVDs, everytime I put a DVD in (from the same DVD I used to play on the computer), all I get is a message that reads as follows:

    "Windows Media Player cannot play the DVD because no compatible DVD decoder is not installed on your computer."

    I don't know why he does not play the most, I've tried it on WinDVD and it only plays DVD when the movie is opened its files (in other words, I have to go "Playlist" then select the DVD drive and open the video folder and open all video files to it to play the movie...) I would really apprecate that it if someone could help me with this issue, at least let me know how to fix or what happened to the decoder or what...

    PS: When I run " dvdupgrd / detect' to see my status as a DVD player, the window that appears named, detected DVD decoders reads:" "

    "No decoders found.
    W2K Upgrade = no
    Win9x Upgrade = no
    LCID = 080 has"
    Hope someone can help me...

    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

    1 back to adding photos and video to the DVD page and then click on Options.

  • I can't play DVDs in Windows Media Player 12 on Windows 7 Pro and get this error msg: 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.

    Hello, thanks for reading and helping me.

    I try to play a legitimate, belonging to DVD, but Windows Media Player 12 will not play on my computer Windows 7 Professional.  The DVD worked a few days ago, but all of a sudden, I get the following error message:

    "Windows Media Player cannot play this DVD because there is a problem with the digital copy between your DVD player and the video card protection decoder. Try to install a driver available for your video card.

    I did a lot of research of these forums and on the ' net.  Here are the suggested steps I tried without success:

    • I tried VLC player.  This works.  However, rather than use this workaround, I wish to find a solution to my problem WMP/WMC.
    • I tried several DVD for years over the last decade.  These DVD works on my laptop, also running Windows 7 Professional and the shark 007 codec.
    • I uninstalled my Shark 007 codec
    • I tried other codecs (K-Lite)
    • I assured that the latest drivers are installed on my video card, XFX ATI Radeon 5850
    • I tried to uninstall Nero 9
    • I tried to use the Windows 7 troubleshooting options:
    • > Reading and burning CD, DVD and Blu - ray (no problem)
    • > Windows Media Player DVD (no problem)
    • > Windows Media Player Settings (detects a problem, wants to restore factory settings, every time, no matter what happens)
    • A system restore to a time when the DVD was working did not resolve the issue
    • The different links in Microsoft, I found in this forum about this problem do not seem to be useful.  There is a link that points to the set-top boxes, but this page just says: "Windows 7 comes with a decoder.
    • I assured the latest driver is available by going to "Device Manager", right click on the drive, then click on "update driver software".
    • I assured that the latest firmware is installed directly from the manufacturer's website.
    • I tried to reset my DRM by renaming the DRM under C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows folder and by going to this Web site to upgrade:http://drmlicense.one.microsoft.com/Indivsite/en/indivit.asp?force=1
    • I've uninstalled and reinstalled Windows Media Player 12 and Windows Media Center via the function "functionality in Windows.

    I would be very grateful if a Microsoft technology could chime.  Thanks for your help!

  • Could not play South Korean DVD with my Windows Media Player

    Hello, I have dell vostro 3550, windows 7 Home Basic, i5. Whenever I try to play a DVD of Korea of the South with windows media player it says: "Windows Media Player cannot play video DVDs. You may need to adjust your Windows display settings. Open display settings in Control Panel, and then try to lower your screen resolution and color quality settings"I tried several times but do not help. I also tried to uninstall and reinstall WMP and a set of CODECS installation but do not help. Please if anyone can help me with this. VLC player and other software free video player show no good subtitles of the DVD of the South Korea.

    Thank you..!

    Hi Jean Claude,

    The problem could be caused if there is no matter what third-party DVD decoder program is installed on your computer may conflict with Windows Media Player.

    1. is the specific question of the Korea of the South DVD?

    2. What is the format of the video file from the DVD of South Korea?

    3. are you able to play videos in Windows Media Player that are saved on the computer?

    4. have you made any recent hardware or exchange of software on your computer before the show?

    Follow the steps below.

    Method 1:

    If your computer has problems playing a DVD in Windows Media Player, try using the troubleshooting Windows Media Player DVD Troubleshooter to fix the problem. This utility checks the common issues, for example by ensuring that you have a DVD player and the correct DVD decoder installed on your computer.

     

    Open the Windows Media Player DVD Troubleshoot utility:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/open-the-Windows-Media-Player-DVD-Troubleshooter

     

    Method 2:

    I suggest you to install any pending Important and optional updates by following the steps in the link below.

     

    How will I know if my computer is up to date? :

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/how-can-I-tell-if-my-computer-is-up-to-date

    Method 3:

    Uninstall any third-party player and check if Windows Media Player is able to read the DVD.

    Method 4:

    You will probably need to may download and install the third-party codec, because the format that the DVD can not be taken in charge in Windows Media Player.
