Playing DVD's in Windows Media Player ?

[roman-28]

Hi

Just had new pc with Media Centre edition and windows media player or the Media centre will not play dvd's.

Anyone recommend a decoder for this.

Thanks.

If you got this PC with MCE already installed, you should have the decoder built-in.

If you installed MCE yourself with the 2 CD set (OEM get 3 CDs with extras such as encoder), then you just need to install something like WinDVD and you should be able to play DVDs and TV pictures.

HTH

That's what i thought ? Got a Acer t180dc with mce pre installed. Prob will just d/l some other player.

Anyone suggest a decent one.

powerDVD Ultra (will also do HD-DVD or Blu-ray if you upgrade in the future)

@ duffy, I have the OEM, it's only 2 discs and there was nothing extra, I had to install an mpeg2 codec before it would play DVDs
