Why Does Wmp9?

[serpico]

After a new min the player shuts down...I have all the codec's installed on my PC

[kAb]

maybe thats the problem, u have all the codecs

i got my WMP free, but not from kazaa.

i've never actually used it to play dvd's though, cause a DVD program came with my computer.
check the microsoft site for updates though.
do any error reports come up?

[Shinigami_[R.I.P.]]

Use a DVD player proggy like PowerDVD. Search for it on Kazaa.

I heard WMP9 isn't all that good. If you wanna play DVDs, use PowerDVD just as Shinigami said.

WMP9 is worst performance player you can found.
I have weak machine so I know. Order is (what I tested, from most efficient down):

1. PowerDVD 4.0
2. BSPlayer
3. WMP *

If you have P-IV, then WMP9 is right for you. Or if you don't need video, just audio (but w/o visualizations).

There is a special codec for WMP9 called X Pack and PowerPack.. by Intervideo and some other company..that allow you to rip mp3s and playback dvds in WMP9

You are using XP, yeah?

WMP won't play DVDs if you don't use XP.
