Whats wrong with windows media player on my computer ??

Question

i dont want any third party programs like vlc

how come i can play cds, install and play dvd games, but i cant play any dvd movies

i tried using real player and it didnt work either

help what should i do

i repeat

i do not want any third party programs

Answer 1

first u put the dvd in and then just click on default play .. or auto play or play it by wmp. then if it doesn't work u might have downloaded wrong codecs search for another one and don't forget to install it ... actually vlc is good one u r just under rating it.. due to its ugly look..  

Answer 2

Let me guess.. have you got a new pc?

I decided to post a new article on www.ageniusblog.com about this

Answer 3

Windows media player right,you should be using WMP 11,not any older version i supposed.Otherwise

No choice but a third party program,realplayer is not good enough.Go for kmplayer

Answer 4

Either:

1) Your DVD is region locked

2) Your Media Player is corrupted

3) The DVD itself is damaged/corrupted

4) The codecs are not compatible/Wrong codecs

5) CD/DVD drive damaged or has wrong software operating it.

6) Is a Copied/Pirate DVD (Although they usually do work)

7) Real Player is also corrupt (Not likely)

From all these possibilites, I think that your DVD is either damaged or corrupt, as Windows Media Player can't play it, nor can Real Player. I would suggest borrowing a copy of the DVD as seeing if that works, or try the DVD on another computer.

Hope my advice helps
