Belfast Boy Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 My laptop is just back from dell having had the motherboard replaced. Now when I try to play dvd's it says "Windows Media Player cannot play the DVD because a compatible DVD decoder is not installed on your computer." Is there somewhere I can download this from or would I be better using a whole new program for viewing dvd's / listening to mp3's on my laptop. I am looking for free software, it used to work fine before the laptop died. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrissy Bee Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 http://www.free-codecs.com/download/K_Lite_Codec_Pack.htm Has a free DVD decoder in it. Get the standard pack. It also contains everything else you'll want (xvid, real alternative, etc.). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest j.smith1981 Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 I'd personally go for a software from www.download.com and search for DVD players basically. Their pritty good at things like that because people review things on there and give you some assurity in what their good for and not good for etc plus user ratings is what I prioritise in. I could get you by some means InterVideo but thats a commercial program that I got a friend to crack and I use it now as full version haha. Hope you get one soon Jez Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
