windows media player
I have had two clients come to me asking why their dvd's wont play in windows media player.
I am burning MPEG2's in dvd architect. any thing I should be doing in order to make it play in WMP? or is this WMP's fault? |
They need a third party MPEG2 decoder. XP and the non-Home Premium or Ultimate versions of Vista don't have a native MPEG2 decoder.

Yep. That's the best way to utilize Media Player.

you can DL an update to MEDIA PLAYER from MSN site which will play DVDs. Don't remember which one it is (sorry) but I know it's free. I dl'd it for my laptop and IIRC I THINK it MIGHT be Media Player Classic. All I know is that it was free and works.

How do they normally play DVDs?
|
Media Player Classic and VLC are excellent (and free) open source tools that will play DVDs without having to install an MPEG-2 codec.
