Windows Media Player Won't Play DVDs

Ivan Drago · 20 May 2008 at 17:53

Whenever I put in a DVD, I get this error message...

"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."

Any ideas what is wrong? The DVD region is set correctly in device manager and I have downloaded the most recent driver for my graphics card.

Have you made sure you have a mpeg2 decoder?

I use the CCCP codec pack - does this have an MPEG2 decoder?

I have VLC and it play the DVDs fine. I just find it easier to use WMP.

Guess I may reinstall WMP.
