Can't Play DVDs in WMP 11.
Hey,
When I try to play a DVD in WMP 11 I get this error (Its the same for any DVDs, even those without copy protection): Windows Media Player cannot play this DVD because there is a problem with digital copy protection between your DVD drive, decoder, and video card. Try installing an updated driver for your video card. Please help as I am running the latest drivers avalible on the ATI website. Thanks, Tom |

If you dont already have a DVD player codec (like Cyber DVD and stuff) then WMP wont play them, as it doesnt have its own codec. I use Media Player Classic for my DVDs.

try the link I sent you it has codec's built into it so dvd playback should work, if not you could try what Burgerbob said and use a program for dvd playback(powerdvd, windvd, etc...)

Media Player Classic Win2k/XP You can have it and WMP11 on at the same time but I don't know if it works on Vista (try running it compatibility mode if it doesn't work, and assuming vista has a compatibility mode)
