• Windows Media Player cannot play back the video DVD.

  Windows Media Player cannot play back the video DVD. You may need to adjust your Windows display settings. Open display settings in Control Panel, and then try to lower your screen resolution and color quality settings.

  I was troubleshooting video playback issues throughout the morning after the reconstruction of a machine with a fresh install of W7 Ultimate, shot a few questions there.

  The first and foremost reason I couldn't play THE VIDEOS was due to the ATI Rage video card that was in the machine, proved that this card was not compatible for playback of DVD video on W7.  No problem with the system of video files (.avi, .mpg, .mp4, etc.), only reading DVD.  Disabling this card and media player running with a standard VGA device allowed me to play regular DVD movies very well.

  Another question, I stumbled on was with burned copies of the DVD, it turned out that my system DVD players, (2, one is a HP630E and the other is a typical ATAPI DVD DD internal 8 x 16), have a problem with playing movies engraved on DVD - RW discs.  Playing discs DVD-R worked well on this system.

  So in your case I try to disable the video device and let the system first use a VGA Standard, if your video plays well then check with the making of video for a updated driver device, saying "you have made any changes" does not mean that the system did not have a bad patch somewhere...

  =================================
  Have you had success playing other video DVDs?

  Maybe you need a DVD decoder?

  (FWIW... it is always preferable, if you create a system restore
  point before installing any software or updates)

  Also, you could try the free VLC Media Player:

• Audio on Windows Media Player not working not not on DVD only

  No sound on DVD playback.  Music CD works fine, as the general computer audio.  Mute is not on.  This has happened between a start and another.  Maybe had something to with a nuisance 'Power DVD' (may be not the right name) program this dominant kept Windows Media Player.

  Just a guess... but maybe you need an AC3 Filter:

• Audio player through Windows media player when playing music on a DVD or hard drive.

  Original title: WMP. Ignores the audio files on my computer.

  Windows Media Player.  Whenever reading a dvd or music on my hard drive, he jumps on a regular basis.

  Hi nanageek,

  1. what version of media player do you use?

  2. when the problem started?

  3. This occurs when you try to play a file in particular?

  4. you remember to make changes to the computer before this problem?

  This problem may be related to the sound card.

  The audio driver should be updated. Check to see if an updated driver is available for your computer.

• Windows Media Player is not responding when a DVD is inserted in the drive of the computer

  Windows Media Player is set as default program for reading DVD but when I insert a movie on the disc, the drive does not open.  I am also unable to open the DVD of the first Media Player opening.  When I play some older DVD, the player actually open and operate.  I guess I must miss some codecs or something but don't know where to find them or how to install them.

  Yes, you need codecs.

• Windows Media Player starts to play the CD/DVD (in any tab) with AutoPlay disabled

  On any tab, Windows Media Player 11 (WMP11) starts automatically play a CD/DVD when inserted.  Regardless it's 'Take no Action' set for each media or device on the AutoPlay control panel.  The OS is Vista Ultimate 64-bit.  The only modification or plug-in is Windows Live Messenger Music Plug-in that has been disabled.

  Steps to reproduce (in the tab extract)

  1. The default value for all devices and media types 'take no Action' (via Control Panel)
  2. Open WMP11
  3. Change to tab extract, click on the drop down arrow
  4. Make sure that "Never" is selected under ' Rip CD when inserted automatically "
  5. Insert an audio CD
  6. You will notice that WMP11 won't start Ripper but starts to play

  This isn't the desired system response.  I want the player to display the information of the album but not start playing.  Currently, I have to manually stop CD/DVD every time.  This behavior produces on each tab not only the tab extract.  However, this behavior does not occur if I play any format of media when you insert a CD/DVD.

  I have a number of albums with information that WMP does not reflect accurately or replaced with incorrect catalog data.  Before the tear, I want to fix the information.

  To be clear, what follows has already been done and checked:

  1. Go to the control panel
  2. Select "Hardware and sound"
  3. Select 'AutoPlay'
  4. Make sure "AutoPlay for all media and devices use" is checked
  5. Select 'take no Action' for each item listed
  6. Select 'Save'

  Please try my instructions in the following thread:
