Windows Vista Home Basic Media Player 11

[jrank001]

Hi. I have windows vista home basic. I want to use my Windows Media Player 11 to watch a DVD. It tells me I need a MPEG 2 codec. I looked all around this site trying to find a free one. Any ideas out there? If nothing is available, are there any free players that will work?

Thanks
