• 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 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:

  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:

  A last possibility would be to install a codec Pack:

  I tried all of the solutions that have been suggested, but the problem still persists.

  That is to say; resolution etc.

  It doesn't seem to be a simple and rapid fire for this remedy. What should I do next?

  I am able to play music that is stored in the library, cd and digital download was sent to warner, but nothing else.

  Original title: Windows Media Player play Dvd

  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:

  (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:

  (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 "a" 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)

  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.

  6. the DVD there included language options?
        
  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.

• DVD video disc play is not in Windows Media Player, possible decoder problem

  A DVD was made product with a video camera of the dance show to my child. However, the dvd on my hp Pavilion 772n burner will not play it. The operating system is XP and when I try to play the DVD in Windows Media Player, I get a message "...". compatible DVD decoder is not installed on your computer. Interestingly, the DVD disc plays in a DVD VCR connected on television.

  What should I do to play the dvd on the pc?

  On XP you must install software that can play DVDs. Both Vista and Windows 7 that include by default.

  Here is a (quite old) Microsoft article describing what you see: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/setup/expert/bridgman02april15.mspx

  On XP, I used to use the card nVidia PureVideo Decoder for playback DVD with Media Player. It seems to still be available, but is chargable:http://www.nvidia.com/object/dvd_decoder.html

  You may want to google for a free DVD decoder for XP.

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

• Video distortion when playing DVDs on Windows Media Player 12

  I have indserted a Comercial de DVD in my DVD player to play a movie on Windows Media Player 12.  When the video came out, it was thousands of multi-colored square blocks.  I tried receting on WMP options, in the case where I changed a setting trying to do something.  I checked in WMC as well and it does the same thing.  I checked several discs defferent.  I checked the updates.  I even ran several viruses, spyware and Root kit scanning with luck now.  I scanned my registry to find errors.  I'm out of ideas.  Can someone help me please?

  I discovered that a major alteration in the partition of OEM software was interfearing with the functioning of Windows 7.  So I reinstalled windows 7 delete all partitions on the disk.  This not only corrected this problem, but 98% of the other problems I had with Windows 7 and its components.  Although the internal DVD player has partially failed and did not read something more then a bootable disc (which I am happy that it works always in that my external DVD writer is not recognized as a drive bootable BACK), my external drive is now able to read everything properly in Windows 7 and I can now use any program including WMP to play all DVD discs or any other disc I need to read.
