  How can I install compatible DVD decoder?

  Can you please explain how you mean exactly and what OS do you have?
  You have reinstalled Windows using the Toshiba Recovery disk?

  Normally, you can play DVDs with Windows media player and so you n t need additional software or driver.
  Also, I prefer VLC media player. This little player can play audio and video files more and its freeware.

  If you need a codec pack that you should search with Google K-Lite Mega Codec Pack. It is very good ;)

  Good luck!

• How can I change my default decoder DVD?

  Good afternoon.

  Several years ago, I bought the Windows XP Media Center desktop computer which I am currently using (v2002). However, it was only in recent years that I've done everything serious levels of work relating to the media. In recent years, I was a bit appalled by the lack of real media tools system what. But this isn't the issue.
  A few weeks ago I tried to play a DVD movie on my computer for the first time. I was shocked to learn that he has started Roxio and prompted me to buy, saying that my trial was expired. I've searched high and low for a decoder to DVD can I use instead of the Roxio unusable one. I have since then use VLC and Media Player Classic to watch movies on DVD, but the fact that every time I try to use Media Center to play a DVD causes Roxio to read its ugly head is like an itch, I can't me to RID.
  How can I change my default DVD Decoder for Media Center in one of the programs above, or set as NA?

• I accidentally deleted the preinstalled dvd decoder that came with my computer/windows media player. Can I get that back without buying it for a price?

  I accidentally deleted all the time and downloaded a free player to replace temporarily called VLC Media Player. Dvd decoder (codec, I think his name...) I don't know, I'm not a computer wiz) has been called something like "Windvd".

  System Restore does not all documents.  This will not affect things like the IE Favorites, unless it brings changes to IE itself.

  You can always reverse a system restore if you want after the fact.

• How can I burn on dvd iMovie projects?

  I've mastered the art of making videos using iMovie, but I can't understand how the engraved on a dvd that will play in any dvd player.  I tried to do some research to understand this point, but most of the answers I've found are for two years.  I need a current response to help me.  It seems that iDVD is the way to go, but it is not offered and more.  I've tried different converters video will no chance.  Once I got one to work and burned on dvd, but then it wouldn't play on anything other than my Macbook.  Please help me!  I just made a video birthday for my son who just turned one, and I need it to be on dvd.  Can someone help me?

  Buy iDVD.

  Yes, there are other programs that will put a movie on a DVD.   I tried most of the other substitutes.  None of them come anywhere close to the ease of use and power of iDVD. IDVD is specifically designed to work with iMovie.

  With iDVD, you can easily and quickly create DVDs with menus and graphics almost on the level of what Hollywood can do.

  IDVD is easy to obtain. It is available on the disc as part of iLife 11.  You can, but it on Amazon or ebay.

  IDVD is a wonderful piece of software, and is worth the modest sum of $40.  (works with all Mac OS 10.5 and newer.)
