I ran belarc advisor to try to specify more on the model and stuff but thats all that came up
Try VLC. It does not require any external codec installation. http://www.afterdawn.com/software/video_software/video_players/vlc.cfm
Yeah it seems that the dvd works fine. It's a software problem and VLC should fix that. I use KMPlayer which works great also.
