I can't get my Media Player to play my dvd

Hello

Windows Media Player does not support playback of DVD, you need to install additional codecs to support DVD playback.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • I am trying to burn a dvd on windows media player movie, but all I get is a desktop file burned on the dvd

    I am trying to burn a dvd on windows media player movie, but all I get is a desktop file burned on the dvd and that's all what he'll do it just ejects and the session is over

    Hi Barbara,

    You can use the player to burn a mixture of songs from the library of the drive or your computer to an audio CD, after which you can play the CD in any standard CD player. Alternatively, you can burn files on CD and DVD data. It is not possible to burn the live streams, such as radio stations, on a CD or a DVD.

  • No reading DVD with Windows Media Player

    WMA crashed

    I used to use Nero on my old computer. I built a new computer and bought Vista and liked the use of Nero I installed it on Vista. During the installation it windows warned me that there is perhaps a conflict if I installed it. I went a head with him and of course, there was and nero would not work. I tried to uninstall it and was able to complete the removal of the program, because it has a conflict and stops. At this stage the WMP always worked very well. Recently, I installed a DIVX player... not by choice... I wasn't thjought I DL update or something, not a media player and pay any attention to any. So I removed the player and now I can't watch a DVD in my media player more. He tells me that windows media player has stopped working. I send the reports to help set and have nothing in return as in to solve the problem

    What are my options? Thank you!

    Hello casey_,

    Thank you for your response.

    In addition to the Bindu response, you can also try to perform a restore of the system to an earlier point before the installation of the program, and then check the issue. For more information about the use of system restore, please see the link below: System Restore

    If the problem persists, please relay the error message received when you try to play a DVD with Windows Media Player, and if the problem occurs when you try to play the DVD or single.

    You can also run the following diagnostic tool to diagnose and repair problems with your CD or DVD drive trying to read or burn media.

  • No sound during playback of DVD in Windows Media Player

    1. No sound during playback of DVD in Windows Media Player.

    Media Center recently stopped working altogether, the message alleges a solution will be found, but he never comes to the top with one and there seems to be no resolution right ahead of internet, I can see others too have a similar problem.

    So I would try Media Player, no joy it is thinking.

    It reads the dvd no sound, I go into options and make sure the external emu sound card is set, yes all well, but as soon as I put it on youtube videos sound turns off by train to play media player so a sort of conflict, if I close Opera / chrome browser and reopen his is back.

    Update or reinstall the drivers for the sound card in Device Manager, checking the PC or Support Downloads Web page of the card for more recent or different driver.

    Physically, reinstall the sound card to make sure that the contacts and the slots are clean and tight connections.

    If you have an audio chip embedded, try to use it to compare.

    Try the VLC media player to see if it has the same problem.

    Have you updated flash player for your browser?

    Try another browser to compare.

    Establish a clean boot, check for infection and then run the System File Checker of the steps in troubleshooting for Windows 7

    For irreparable system files, run a repair facility.

    It's much lower plant?  If so Clean Up Factory Bloatware and consider to go from worst to best with...

    Maybe it's time for a clean reinstall Windows 7?  The steps in the link provide the best possible installation.
