Windows Forum / Windows Vista / General Topics / May 2008Why OH! Why can't I play DVD's in Windows Media
As the subject line says : Why OH! Why can't I play DVD's in Windows Media Player for Vista anymore?? This is what I have installed as for the Windows Media Player for Vista. Look at ALL the listed under "MPEG/DVD Filters" I have. So why in the hell I can't play simple retail movie DVD's anymore. Windows Media Player Version 11.0.6000.6344 Operating System Version: 6.0.6000 System Locale: en-US Service Pack: 0.0 User Locale: en-US Build Lab: 6000.vista_gdr.071009-1548 Geo ID: United States

My Answer : The Windows MCE 2005 Operating System on the same computer plays DVD's fine in Media player,(Dual booted) with Microsoft Vista Home Premium 32-Bit OS, which the DVD's DO NOT play in vista media player. And Yes, My Dell Notebook with Vista Basic does play the DVD fine in vista media player. You asked : Can you play a DVD now that you could also play 2 weeks ago? My Answer : Yes, just not in the Microsoft Vista Home Premium 32-Bit OS. You asked : Have you tried loading the free KLite Codec pack My Answer : This does not solve the issue, does not work.

These are what are referred to as "other players" when I asked "Are any of your other players able to play the DVD?" The answer you gave cited other OPERATING SYSTEMS that can play your DVD. That's not what I asked. Can your other PLAYERS - ON THE SAME OPERATING S-Y-S-T-E-M - play the DVDs? And, just to be clear, you DID install the suggested codec packs on the same operating system that you are having trouble playing the DVDs on - right? jim > You asked : > [quoted text clipped - 307 lines] >>>>> >>>>> None Found You asked : These are what are referred to as "other players" when I asked "Are any of your other players able to play the DVD?" My Answer : Ok, Let me make it clear, On the vista operating system I can play the DVD's on the other installed stand alone players; such as, Cyberlink PowerDVD 7 and Sonic CinePlayer. But, I can NOT play DVD's in the Vista Media Player. Which I really want to use. Also, You have to understand, over two weeks ago I had no problems playing tons of DVD movies in the Vista Media Player. I did not install or change anything that would interfere with the vista media player. > You said "Also, I have had already installed, Cyberlink PowerDVD 7 Deluxe > with [quoted text clipped - 332 lines] >>>>>> >>>>>> None Found > You asked : > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > DVD's on the other installed stand alone players; such as, Cyberlink > PowerDVD 7 and Sonic CinePlayer.

Could the DVD have a different country code? Are any error messages shown when you try and play the DVD? Do you hear the sounds and see no picture? jim Your other question : And, just to be clear, you DID install the suggested codec packs on the same operating system that you are having trouble playing the DVDs on - right? Yes!! I Tried many suggested codec packs. They did not work or fix the problem. > You said "Also, I have had already installed, Cyberlink PowerDVD 7 Deluxe > with [quoted text clipped - 332 lines] >>>>>> >>>>>> None Found > Your other question : > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > Yes!!

Have you tried using System Restore to go back to 2 weeks ago on your PC and see if the DVD will play? jim The only media I can play in the Vista Media Player is: "VCD" CD's, "MPEG" CD or files, "AVI" CD or files, "MP3" CD or files, "MIDI" files, "DIVX" files. I just can not play simple retail DVD movies in the Vista Media Player. > You said "Also, I have had already installed, Cyberlink PowerDVD 7 Deluxe > with [quoted text clipped - 332 lines] >>>>>> >>>>>> None Found > The only media I can play in the Vista Media Player is: > > "VCD" CD's, "MPEG" CD or files, "AVI" CD or files, "MP3" CD or files, > "MIDI" files, "DIVX" files. > > I just can not play simple retail DVD movies in the Vista Media Player.

Hope it will solve the issue. If not then see the region encoding lock for your DVD, either the same as your region. If it not helpful then please just post the error screenshot so we can understand the problem. Signatureblueknight6 |
