• 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!

  Hi Kendra,

  Please contact Microsoft Community.

  4. Have you tried to play the DVD with Windows Media Player?

  If you use the film of windows 8 and still unable to play then I suggest to run the troubleshooter and check if that helps.

• Samsung DVD - ROM SD - 616E driver will not play DVDs in Windows xp sp3 Home Edition

  Dear supporters, Im having problems playing movies on my Samsung DVD - ROM SD-616E installed on my Windows XP SP3 Home Edition Dell Dimension 2350..., a box of lil in the center of my watch windowsmedia player a message saying no compatible dvd decoder is not installed? Help, please? thanx.

  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:

  VLC Media Player
  http://www.filehippo.com/download_vlc/
  (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 one 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)

• 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.

• Windows XP will not play DVD

  Windows XP cannot recognize a DVD in my D drive (says no disk) won't play so not. What do I need to reinstall? Media Player? or DVD driver/program or what?

  Windows XP never had the ability to play DVD discs without additional software.  You must add DVD playback software to play DVDs in Windows XP.

  I can only imagine you can run Windows 8.1?

  Windows 8 / 8.1 cannot natively read DVD-video.

  You could install Media Center...

  Add Windows 8.1 Pro Pack or Windows 8.1
  Media Center Pack for your version of Windows 8.1
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-8/feature-packs

  Or...

  For DVD playback... the free VLC Media Player
  may be worth trying...

  Restore point before installing software or updates)

  VLC Media Player (32-bit Version)

• my laptop playing dvd

  I have a hp2000 2c29wm and whenever I put a dvd it will not play, but when I try a cd it plays perfectly. Someone knows the reason

  Hello

  Windows 8 does not come with the necessary codec to play the DVD, but there are many 3rd party readers that will add that feature - on such player is VLC, a free software - see the guide on the following link.
