WMP cannot play the DVD wants me to change the resolution or color display.

I just received a refurbished laptop and try to play a DVD on it.  WMP said it can't play the DVD he wants me to change my screen resolution or color my screen displays.  I've done these two, and again, it will not play any DVD I put in there!  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, mama

Thank you for your answers, it was the decoder.  It has not been installed correctly.  All fixed now, I just use Classic WMP to play the DVD.   Thanks again, mama

  • WMP cannot play the dvd because it is not able to activate the analog copy on the output display protection.

    using windows 7 in my HP Pavilion a1110n desktop and cd plays end. When I put a dvd, it won't play. The reason he gives is that "it is not possible to activate the analog copy on the output display protection." He also told me to try the update driver for the video card. I went into the menu devices and he had to manually update the graphics card - but it just says that the more recent driver already installed! What makes things worse is that I can't just walk out of the old graphics card because it is integrated in the motherboard! Please, any ideas?

    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:

    • > 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.

    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!

  • Vista Ultimate cannot play the DVD because of the DRM

    I have Windows Vista Ultimate installed on a workstation Dell T5400 with Nvidia Quadro FX 1700 graphics card, old monitors and one audio interface Focusrite Saffire. I am watching a DVD on this computer, but have been unable to do. Whenever I try to read the DVD, I get the following 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 installed the latest Dell drivers for this video card. I understand that Vista ultimate is supposed to read the DVD. I also tried the free 'vlc' program to read the DVD and it is unable to do the same. It is frustrating, as I'm not trying to make digital copies of what that is is not clear to me why digital copy protection would be involved.

    Any suggestions?

    Artuero, software decoding DVD comes 3rd party and is not available from Microsoft - it means reinstall this software, you must locate and either perform a repair or reinstall from the CD.  I find it interesting that you are unable to read a DVD in the player VLC Media as is the only free software that I am aware of that contains a built in DVD decoder.  You may want to try to go to file and then open in VLC and opening an of the. VOB files containined in the folder VIDEO_TS to DVD as a test.

    -In Windows Media Player, press the ALT key and select Help on Windows Media Player
    -Click on the Support information link, paste the content in this thread so that we can take look at what codecs/decoders is currently installed.
