dvd shrink is good software that is free. simple to use and can shrink an 8gb dvd down to 4gb if needed. Then you can burn the iso file using dvd decrypter.

Help me make my DVD player work again. (software problem) Know how...?

Science

My computer has a DVD player (not burner...just player) and I am using windows XP. I also have the latest Windows media player installed. My DVD used to play movies but the computer crashed about 6 months ago and I had to reinstall XP. Now I can play video clips but NOT any DVD movies. From what I have learned...I need the right "codec's" or something? I refuse to PAY for software just to get it to work again like it used to. I have tried downloading 2 different things that claim to make it work. (They DON'T) The first one of you that gives me a link for some download (Free) that will actually get my DVD player working again....will get picked as the winner and get the 10 points. :-) Thank you in advance for your help. (If you need more info to help me get it working feel free to email me) Thank you again. I REALLY want this to work again.

Answer
Hi, I am very experienced with xp. I would tell you that codec packs do more harm than good and that it's easier to use an alternative player for videos and dvd's. I am going to give you the facts and let you decide which codec pack is right for you. See the first link at bottom for instructions and links to shark007. See the second link at bottom if you want to try an alternative player, these players can't be beat.

1. You never want more than one codec pack at a time or you will have conflicts.

2. K-lite codec pack has screwed my system 3 times now, I will never use it again even though it's the most recommned codec pack here at yahoo.

3. Shark007 does not contain a virus it is a false positive in which the owner shark007 has already submitted to the major antivirus companies for review. This pack can make wmp default for all files and is my favorite.

Here are the best codec packs, shark007, media player codec pack, combined community codec pack "cccp", and k-lite codec pack.

http://www.cccp-project.net/ (official site of combined community codec pack. I believe it comes with media player classic also.)

http://www.codecguide.com/download_kl.htm (The infamous k-lite codec pack. I believe this pack can make windows media player the default player. It also comes with media player classic also.)

http://www.mediaplayercodecpack.com/ (Media player codec pack. If you install this do not install any other codec pack before trying this one. This pack makes wmp play dvd's very good. However it does not make wmp default or associate files with wmp. You must right click the files and choose to open them with wmp. Wmp will play the files a message will come up click ok,)

I hope this helps you out. If you need further help post additional details and I will help you. See the link below for official links to shark007 and step by step instructions to install it. See the second link below if you want to try an alternative player.
