DVD driver and decoder

I cannot play DVD on my laptop. I think i need a driver and a decoder. Can i get this for free? I am using Win XP. Please help

 

You need PowerDVD. It is a player which allows you to watch DVDs on your PC.

Get it here: http://download.com.com/3000-2139-10019562.html

 

Also I little trick, get powerdvd on, then you can watch it through media player......as it utilises the driver of powerdvd......

 

Does this little trick still work when the trial period is over baabaa?

 

how do i watch the dvd thru media player using powerdvd? moreover does the limit of 30 min video apply if i use media player?

 

You just use media player to watch and play your DVD. I don't think the limit does apply kardi03.

Good luck

 

i downloaded powerdvd and tried several dvds but it keeps giving me window saying insert disk in e drive. Please help me

 

Good question Koola, answer. do not know as I have the full version of powerdvd.....

Worth looking into I think....

My dad showed me it....

Nothing but media player installed....inserted dvd - no go..
Then installed powerdvd.
Inserted dvd, opened up media player...Bingo....

dll/codecs etc must utilise the same ones.....

kardi03...it sounds like it has defaulted to a different drive. Go into the configuration page (click on spanner OR ctrl c) and set the correct drive up...

Also uncheck the play upon insertion (bloody annoying)...
