Playing DVd videos on my windows media player

What should I do to get my Windows Media Player to play video DVDs - I tried to change the resolutions via control p [anel w / no chance]

Hello

1. do you receive an error message or error code, when playing DVD with Windows Media Player?

2 have you made changes on the computer before this problem?

3. is the particular confined with any DVD issue?

This problem can occur if the file formats are not supported by Windows Media Player or Media Player are corrupt.

Formats supported by Windows Media Player Versions 6.0 and later versions of the file: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/245608

I suggest you run the troubleshooter in Windows Media Player and see if it helps.

    There is a small chance that the file will play if you rename

    Can someone help me how to solve this problem. Thank you

    May be that the video file format is not compatible with Windows Media Player.

    Options: -.

    1] download and install VLC Player. It's free and supports file formats more than WMP.

    2] download and install the codecs

    Personally, I prefer VLC Player-if you have that then not need to download and install the codec of any third party.

    d. restart Windows Media Player.

    Note: Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.

    Step 2:

    If this does not resolve the problem, disable the Windows Media Player database cache files. To do this, follow these steps:

    a. exit Windows Media Player.

    b. Click Start, click Run, type % LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft and then click OK.
