Is there a way to play DVDs on my WMP if it's version 9?

Question

So I want to play my DVDs on Windows Media Player (9), and I was wondering if this version plays DVDs at all. I can't upgrade or update to WMP 11 or other versions bc of a license management certificate issue, and I REALLY want to play them on my WMP. What do you suggest I do? What's the best way to go about this?

Answer 1

WMP 9 should be able to play DVD's but only if you have DVD decoder software installed (Intervideo, WinDVD, etc...). WMP will not play dvds right out of the box.

Answer 2

You should be able to play dvds in windows media player 9, or if you can't you can download K-lite mega codec pack and it will install the DVD codecs for you and you will have WMP 9 ready to play DVDs

(Make sure you select Profile 2 during setup, it will be obvious to spot)
