I tried to watch Single Video Theory DVD on my windows media player, and it said "Windows Media Player cannot play the DVD because a compatible DVD decoder is not installed on your computer." I was wondering how i would go about finding a DVD decoder to install on my computer. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

I don't know if there are any free DVD decoders for Windows Media Player. I found this one, but it's not free:

This is what you want. It can be found on the internet if you look...

Maybe I'm just stupid and can't do a proper search, but I can't find it :oops:

Alright, thanks to Buggy, the media player now reads the dvd, however it still won't play it, and gives this message...
"Windows Media Player cannot play DVD video. Open Display in Control Panel, and then lower your screen resolution and color quality settings. To view the DVD Troubleshooter, click More Information."
Well i followed the instructions and tried playing it and it still wouldn't work. Can anyone help? Thanks

you may need to upgrade your video drivers, but really anything since the pentium II should be able to play DVDs.

You might want to skip windows media player altogether, and look for the real windvd player, wherever you found the pack for wmp
