  DVD decoder not installed?

  I went to play a DVD on my computer this evening and received this msg: Windows Media Player cannot play the DVD because no compatible DVD decoder is not installed on your computer.
  A few weeks ago, I played DVD on my computer. I would like to know what is happening. Any ideas/suggestions?

  I tried to play one of the same DVDs I played before... same message.  Nothing to my knowledge has been removed from my computer and I'm the only one with access... "very confused.

  Thanks if anyone can help.

  Yes, and if you install the utility on your system, you'll see all decoders.

  The utility will also tell you if a decoder is compatible or not.

  Using Media Player version 10 or 11?

  the utility tells me I have no decoder... the only thing I can think is that if I actually deleted it... I rarely remove anything because I do not add a lot... but it is possible a few weeks ago, I have to get rid of some things (I'm quite cautious because I'm not an expert).   It is the Media Player version 11, I was trying to use... but I rebooted now 10 to see if there was something to update related that mess.

  because I used the VLC Player successfully, I have not yet tried Windows Media Player (since WMP reloading and load the codec pack)

  So great to have the entry of a person who knows what he's doing.  Thanks again. I will try the Windows Media Player later and see if I have his use of return.

  Have a great day!

• During playback of a DVD on the computer I get good picture & sound of desktop speakers, trying to watch DVDs on adjacent TV, I get good picture but sound no., why?

  Can someone please help
  When playing a DVD on the computer, I get good Sound & picture on ajoining tv, I get a good quality image but no sound
  Concerning
  Darryl

  Sorry for this smithassoc

  Try this:
  Click Start, go to control panel and click on switch to Classic view at the top left if necessary, and then click sounds and Audio devices. You will then be presented with the options sound and Audio from your computer, click the Audio tab and select HD Audio (this can be named differently depending on the type of video card you are using) as default device and click ok.
  I guess maybe I should have asked, what video card are you using? As long as your video card supports audio HDMI then change the default audio device should solve the problem. If the video card is not taken support HDMI audio, then you need to connect the sound card to TV via one of the audio, the sound card options.

  De : Cari (MS - MVP)

  Please explain exactly what you mean.  You want to copy your commercial DVD on your hard drive (movies)?

  If so, the answer is Yes, if you have a big enough hard.  Each disk DVD movie will take about 9 GB of hard disk space.

  =====================================
  Sorry for the long message but I'm giving
  you enough information to do the job.

  When you insert the DVD in your DVD player... close
  all the windows that can open and then go to... Start /.
  Computer... right click the icon for the DVD player
  is in, and then select Explorer.

  The files you need from the DVD are the. VOB files.
  You will find them in the VIDEO_TS folder. Copy them
  in a folder on your hard drive.

  First... just try to rename one of the. VOB files to
  . MPG or .avi and see if it will matter in Movie Maker.
  If import works... drag the file to the timeline and
  Economy/publication it to .wmv or .avi format. Then...
  Re - import new video film for editing purposes.

  (FWIW... you can probably play the files renamed
  in Windows Media Player to be sure that VOB
  file to edit)

  If you are unable to import the files they need to be converted
  another .wmv format would be a good choice.
  The following free Converter may be helpful.

  Universal Player Encoder & Renderer

  (the download mirror site is faster... it is said):
  Mirror download (direct link) (28.1 MB))

  (FWIW... it is always a good practice to create one)
  System restore point before installing new software)

  After installing the program GREAT... open...
  you will see two small circles at the top left
  corner of the screen... check the UPPER circle.

  Now... Drag/Drop your. VOB files in the current field.

  Output container... Choose wmv...

  Video scale size / no change

  Left, click the Encode button.

  Choice: A Simple Profile / OK...

  Wait...

  (FWIW... I have better luck with video if I'm not
  try to multi-task while a file is being converted)

  When the file is converted, you should find it in...
  Program Files / eRightSoft / Super / exit.

  Or... you can type... CTRL + T.. o open the Save
  Window and choose a backup folder.

  Good luck...

  Also... try the following free software:

  The following freeware can convert:

  (FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)
  Restore point before installing software or updates)

  Format Factory
  http://www.pcfreetime.com/

  ('all' boxes on the last screen)

  After downloading and installing Format Factory...
  Open the program and choose an output folder...
  (this is where you will find your files when they are
  converted)

  Drag and drop your VOB files on the main screen...

  Select "all to WMV" / OK...

  Click on... Beginning... in the toolbar...

  Try to burn JPEGs on a cd in "master" mode to make them playable on standard dvd players. the computer will burn on the cd and the images can be viewed on another computer, but cannot be viewed on a DVD player? any help would be great.

  Hello Lackyboi,

  ·         How you try to burn the pictures on your CD?

  ·         What is the burning software CD that you use to burn the discs?

  I suggest you burn your photos using Windows Media Player.  You can read this article which will give you information on burning media with Media Player:

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/burn-a-CD-or-DVD-in-Windows-Media-Player

  1. in Windows Media Player, on the Tools menu, click Options.

  2. in the Options dialog box, on the devices tab, click the name of the reader of CD - R or CD - RW you use and then click on the properties button.

  3. in the Properties dialog box, under the recording tab, select a slower write speed.

• DVD Ripper - I want to know how the DVD in my computer as a CD ripper.

  Hi, I want to know how the DVD in my computer as a CD ripper.

  Very well!

  First of all this information works the DVD you own and varies depending on what version of Windows you are running.
  If you need instructions for Vista or XP let me know, I'll give you instructions for Windows 7 (any version).

  Initially to create a library called movies

  1. open your library view and right-click on the empty space.
  2. click on new-> library
  3. name your library. I called my own films so is easy to locate
  4. open your new library by double clicking on the icon
  5. click on include a folder, so a browse box appears
  6 navigate on your way to the user of the rot. (This folder should contain my music, my documents etc.)
  7. right click and select new-> folder.
  8 call this record movies or DVD, then click on include the folder in the box go.

  The library has created...

  To rip the DVD on your computer, I recommend a program called DVD Shrink. It allows to create copies compressed your DVDs while retaining the structure of the menu, special features, etc. and you can reduce an image DVD at 40% of its original size.

  You'll need to hunt this software online because there are many people who speak but does not host the file.

  Once you have ripped the DVD Shrink it helps in a folder in your C:\ drive normally will be called the same as the DVD.

  Move this file into your movie library and hey presto your first movie.

  You can then add this wo Windows Media Center Library using the add folder function and watch your dvd without going through the DVD in the drive.

  If you need further instructions on DVDShrink let me know and I'll try to implement this step by step.

• Windows installation 7 - lack driver cd/dvd

  Hello!

  First I wanted to greet everyone here, because this is my first post on this forum

  Now to the problem.

  I am the happy owner of HP Pavilion dv7-1150ew laptop. It's a good computer, I really like it, but the operating system it came with (Vista Home Premium) was temporary from the beginning. I knew from the first day I'll install Windows 7 as soon as it is available. And the day came. Windows 7 Professional has appeared on the MSDNAA site. I downloaded the 64-bit version, burned the DVD disc and waited for the weekend to come and do the installation and post-intallation stuff.

  So, I am user of Windows 7 now? No I'm not. I don't even have to the installation process the Setup starts perfectly, I choose the language, then I click on install now, wait and... 'Lack of the required CD/DVD drive driver' message. Here is what I tried:

  -installation of the USB stick (formatted the USB stick to NTFS using diskpart, unzipped the iso on USB with ultraiso and winrar)

  -Intel ICH9M/E-M AHCI SATA driver version 8.9 by providing the installer - it displays the progress during a certain time, then the message bar "no new device not found" is displayed

  -install the 32-bit version

  -installation of the USB stick with DVD and secondary hard drive disconnected

  -clean install hard drive (I dropped the system partitions and recovery)

  -update the laptop BIOS

  -update the firmware of the DVD player

  Still the same problem. No driver required, and if I load the Intel SATA driver - no new device.

  Windows 7 Professional from MSDNAA is at least RTM version, because it has no RC, beta or whatever next to him.

  I Googled that people who have had this problem solved by changing the SATA from AHCI Mode IDE controllers (or another), but the BIOS on the laptop DV7 is not all about the option.

  Someone at - it ideas? Please?

  Just google this error and found many discussions about this in the TechNet forums. I suggest you to search this place for better results and post the steps that worked for you here. Just linking you to a thread below that could be useful.
