Playing DVDs with WMP

I have a friend who has a relatively new Inspiron 1420 with Vista Business (bought Oct ' 07). Just recently, he tried to play a DVD for the first time and when the DVD is loaded, Windows Media Player (v11) came and acted as if he was going to play, but then disappeared instantly... He has worked for music and other video files WMP, but apparently always disappeared when he was asked to play DVDs.

This could be just an MPEG2 decoder missing? I looked for the supplied DVD player, but not found in the programs... If it is not included with Vista Business?

Thank you

    WMP or the Real player can't handle the DVD because you need a codec package that contains the codec MPEG-2 and MPEG-4.

  • Can I rip from a DVD and burn it to a DVD with WMP 11?

    I have movies at home I want to rip from a DVD and burn another DVD. Is that possible with WMP 11 or do I have to buy software for the specific task? The DVD I have is DVD + R, I want to burn to a DVD-R format so it will play on my DVD player.

    =====================================
    Windows Media Player will not rip a DVD but there is no
    reason for ripping a DVD homemade that contains movies at home.

    Homemade (copy unprotected) DVD is easy...
    Simply insert the DVD in your DVD player... to... Start /.
    Computer... right click on the DVD drive icon and
    Choose explores... you should see the directory of the DVD.

    File 'VIDEO_TS' Now... Copy/Paste or drag/drop...the
    from the DVD in a new folder (renamed to)
    the DVD corresponding) on your hard drive and what's.

    If you have VLC Media Player on your system (for example)
    you could click with the right button on the VIDEO_TS folder and choose...
    "Play with VLC Media Player" and the video will play.

    These files can be several gigabytes that copy makes
    some time... have patience.

    Now... If you want to duplicate the DVD... What follows
    Freeware can create an ISO Image of the DVD and
    Then you can burn the ISO Image on as many copies
    that you wish.

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

    Download ImgBurn:

    (During the installation there will be an option to install
    the "Ask Toolbar"... you can uncheck only)

    I use my PC sound card. I use the Logitech Z-5 speakers.

    Please keep in mind that I have recently reinstalled Vista on this computer, and before replacing, I had no such problem. I currently use the same drivers I did then.

    I have Vist Home Premium, 32-bit.

  • WMP will not play dvd - r with the video on this subject:

    Audio WMP plays well. But no video. My panasonic dvd player (about 4 years) there will be no more. A friend told me to go on a free website, www.filehippo. to download a "fix." Don't know what I ' d be downloaded, because I am NOT tech savvy. " I have download all 'old' versions as my friend says. I tried windows again, not good. Used the two bays of dvd in my lap.     I am at a loss, my ignorance, but I could sure use some SIMPLE instructions as to why and how to fix it.

    I tried the Windows Fixit tool, but no help.  ALSO, I frequently get a box of Windows ERROR when you try to load files from the web or e-mails down. It usually says: windows cannot open this file: unrecognized program. "Then it tells me to click for the solution, but don't know which software to use and I stop trying, cause the error message arrives for this too. sigh.

    I know it's probably a 'newbie' question, but your help would be appreciated. I think this question will come and the problem with windows is not not able to download is fairly common as well. Thanks for any help.   Sincerely, debbie in Florida.
