• 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.

  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!

  * original title - Window Media Player cannot drive cannot read the file the player could does not load the file or may not support or does not support the codec used to compress the fichier.*

  Hello

  1. what changes have been made to your computer before the problem?
  2. the problem occurs on a particular file?
  3. What is the format of the file you want to play in Windows Media Player?

  You may encounter this error message for the following reasons:

  (a) the file type is supported by the drive, but the file was compressed by using a codec that is not supported by the player.

  (b) the file might have been encoded with a codec that is not supported by Windows Media Player. If this is the case, Windows Media Player cannot play the file.

  Windows media player will play only the files and videos only if it supports this type of file.

  Please see the bottom of the article that gives you information on the types of media files that supports Windows Media Player.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/316992

  If the files are not supported by Windows media player, then you will need to use a few players from third party that supports this file format.

  WARNING OF THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE

  Using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

  (b) in the search box, type Device Manager.
