i just want to play dvds using Windows Media Player but i think i need to have dvd software installed (like WinDVD or PowerDVD) before i can play a dvd on WMP.
is there a way to play a dvd without having to install a prog like windvd?

i think you might need to install the nessary codecs if you want to play the dvd in win media.
some correct me if im wrong :)
you need a codec
Quote:
To play DVDs, you must have a DVD-ROM drive, and a software or hardware DVD decoder installed on your computer. If you do not have a compatible DVD decoder installed, DVD-related commands, options, and controls do not appear in the Player and you cannot play DVDs. By default, Windows does not include a DVD decoder. For more information about DVD decoders, see Windows Help.
download the latest version of the media player, if it doesnt work, then you will need to install additional codec.
