In order to play DVDs on your PC you need to have a MPEG2 codec installed. One workaround is the d/load the Power DVD demo, install it, then uninstall it. This will remove the player but leave teh codec behind.
You can then use WMP or another freeware DVD player like Video Lan or Maxus(sp) to play your DVDs. -
Correct, just keep in mind that while all of the decoders out there can handle MPEG2 files, not all can handle CSS encrypted MPEG2 data like on a DVD. Make sure that it has this ability before paying for anything.
