Windows Media Player not playing DVD
I have a HP TouchSmart 310PC.
When Iopened Windows Media Center he would not play the dvd. I couldn't get audio but no picture.
I tried Troubleshootingafter, ensuring that I changed a setting in dvd with Windows Media Player.
What could be a solution?
Thank you.
Thanks for the reply but in fact, what worked was going to the Control Panel, clicking AutoPlay and after selecting recording DVD playing by Windows Media Player.

- Windows Media Player 10 has opened a photo successfully dvd but a message "Microsoft has encountered a problem and needs to close" came on the screen several times. Had to re insert the dvd picture, but it would open again each time.
- Tried the cd drivers and troubleshooting dvd and was informed of my dvd could not be played because there was no decoder for dvd. Following instructions and chose a windows xp approved decoder pack download - dvd has chosen the Roxio CinePlayer DVD Decoder Pack.
- Then upgraded the media player to Windows Media Player 11.
- After that, dvd and cd rom could be opened by the media player 11, but neither the DVD or cd ROM readers would recognize the photo DVD in question had been inserted into one of these discs, and even less to be opened by the media player.
- Program scanner and photo used to transfer my photos printed digitally on a dvd are trademarks of Hewlett-Packard. Contact the center of the photo, but they could not provide me with any guidance or even particular HP photo program they used to create the dvd picture. I remember the photos were stored on the dvd in JPEG format picture and was able to open by Windows Explorer before I've updated since WMP 10-11.
"" I remember well, the pictures are stored on the dvd in JPEG format picture and was able to open by Windows Explorer before I've updated since WMP 10-11 ""
Looks like you have a data dvd, which has just the pictures on it and it will not be seen by WMP, who needs a dvd-video disc.
It should always open in windows Explorer and you should be able to see your pictues it.

This is the message that I faced when I tried ti a watch a DVD I've seen countless times in y HP laptop. I read some answers here, but I do not understand something they are trying to say. I'm not technologically minded so pleaaaase can someone tell me what is happening?
Hi Abigayi lMcFadyen,
To prevent the illegal creation of digital copies of DVD, information on most of the DVDs are blurred. Your DVD decoder and Windows Media Player have software to copy protection that decodes the information on the DVD just before posting. If this software does not start successfully, you may receive this error.
Method 1: You will have to perhaps download and install the latest plug-in to do this, see the link below

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: 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.
You can try the following methods and check if it helps.
Method 1: Play a CD or DVD in Windows Media Player
