Windows Media Player incorrectly displays Photo DVD
Whenever I am watching a DVD on WMP the entire image doesn't appear on the screen. It's normal display size or full screen that I choose but its almost like if the image is enlarged. I also noticed that to click on the menu options of DVD rather than the buttons being where the words on the screen are they are an inch or so off the coast on the side.
Help, please
Hi Obecný,
This happens with any particular DVD?
1 reduce display settings:
a. Click Start, click Run and then type desk.cpl in the Open box. Or, right-click an empty area of the desktop and then click Properties.
b. on the settings tab, move the slider to 800 X 600 screen resolution.
c. Select 16-bit for the color quality, and then click OK.
d. some display drivers can support playback of DVD at higher resolutions and color depths. If this solution works, using a driver updated, you can read the DVD at higher color depths and resolutions.
2. try to reduce the video hardware acceleration in Windows Media Player:
In Windows Media Player, on the Tools menu, click Options.
In the performance, under video acceleration tab, move the slider more close votes to zero, and then click OK.
If this allows to read DVDs in fullscreen, it indicates that there is a problem with your graphics card or driver. It may be possible to obtain an updated driver from the manufacturer of the display adapter.

Original title: error reading from a photo cd
Error message "Windows Media Player cannot play the DVD. The disk has been created in a way that the player does not support"when the disc is inserted into the PC HP Touchsmart yet he plays on the laptop. Help please
Hello
(1) what is the file format of the photos on the CD?
(2) you are able to play another CD/DVD on this computer?
(3) have you made recent changes to the computer before the show?
(4) is it a Blu - ray disc?
Install the codec for Blu - Ray. Your Blu - ray player should have come with a medium containing the codec. You can also use your favorite search engine and free research Blu - ray codec.
The Blu - ray disc format is not supported in Windows Media Player. To play a Blu - ray disc, you must use a non-Microsoft program that supports Blu - ray playback and a device that can play Blu - ray discs.If you have a program that supports Blu - ray, then I suggest you to use the Troubleshoot utility and check for the issue.

Windows Media Player 12 plays not DVD
Hello, I have a new Windows 7 Ultimate, 64-bit system, running on a Gigabyte motherboard / Intel Core i7 920, built in the last days. I try to read commercial standard DVDs (e.g. Titanic) on the drive to DVD Samsung through a high-end Nvidia 1 GB graphic card, through Windows Media Player Version 12.0.7600.16415.
NOTE: VLC Player works fully, showing that the material (audio / video) is properly installed.
When you use the media player in Windows 7, I received the message "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. Try to install a driver available for your video card. The options are 'Close' or 'Web Help', where the latter gave no information.
This situation occurs through the display of several DVD media are OK.
I downloaded a lot of codecs on the Net, ending up with very pixelated video and distorted sound under Windows 7 Media Player.
I have now uninstalled these Codecs and VLC Player still works AOK.
Where are you offering me I have Windows 7, 64-bit codecs, Windows Media Player Version 12.0.7600.16415 player?
Hello
This error "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. Try to install a driver available for your video card"is normally related to the video driver being unsigned. If your driver is not signed, you will not be able to play protected content, including DVDs.
Try to install the latest video driver and see if the problem persists.
Thank you

After following the instructions of SMilebox to burn "images set to music" on DVD, to the attempt of DVD playback, I got following error message: Windows Media Player cannot play the DVD because the disc prohibits playback in your region of the world. You must obtain a disc that is intended for your geographic region. We live in the Washington area. I didn't know that DC was considered an unusual geographic region?
Hey nongeekbetty,
The DVD is encoded for a different region. Most DVD readers only works with DVDs that are coded for the computer was purchased in the same region. So if you buy a DVD in one country and then try to play on one computer from another country this DVD could not play.
Step 1:
Make sure that the DVD region is set to the appropriate region:
a. Click Start.
(b) in the search box, type Device Manager.
c. right-click on the DVD drive.
d. right-click on it and select Properties.
e. make sure that the region will be resolved.
For your information:
Step 2:
Also temporarily disable User Account Control (UAC) and check it out.

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!
