please do not include bad answers like Vista Sucks
coz I also know that
or
an alternative player

thanks

Answer
You do not want an alternative player. Why not. Windows Media Player sucks and I could go on a trip around the world when I was given a dollar for everytime somebody had trouble with wmp. You have to download all kind of codecs etc and then you still can't be sure. Leave wmp alone as soon as possible and make your live easy.
I will recommend an alternative player anyway.. Gomplayer. It is free and plays all file types, audio, dvd's without having to download anything.
Go to preferences -- Others -- select All File Types and Codecs.
As a nice bonus you can make nice pictures (screen captures) of the video (DVD) you are watching.
Right click on player for menu then Control Panel (F7). Click on CP or hit F7. Now youl can make screen captures.
It is up to you whether to keep on struggling with wmp or download Gomplayer

I am trying to watch a dvd on windows media player, and I have done it before. Usually it lets me just click on the options on the main menu to start the movie. But it isnt letting me do it this time. I can't get it to play. I can only get to the main menu, but that's it. Is there any way I can get it to start playing??

Is it possible to update/change a Laptop (VAIO) DVD Player to a Blue Ray Player?

TheHelper

I have a VAIO Laptop with a DVD Player (Windows Media Player). Is it possible If the shop can change my DVD Player so that it can play Blue Rays and DVDs?

Thank You,
X
PS: If possible, please list your source.

Answer
I can't say definitely for your model, but usually laptop CD/DVD/Blu-ray drives are replaceable even if they're not meant to be user replaceable.

Your best option is to take it to a computer repair shop, they can open it up and have a look
(note opening laptops is a very fiddly procedure there is like a million screws and you need a precision screwdriver set to do it.).

If it is, you or the repair shop should be able to purchase a " laptop blu ray drive " from ebay or a computer parts seller. It doesn't matter what make, it's a standard fitting.

How to burn movies for home dvd players?

best dvd player on windows image

Ms Bitch

What software can I use to burn a movie for my home dvd players. I have used Windows maker and it works just fine but it takes hours to burn the complete movie. I was wondering if there is any other software that can complete the task faster.

Answer
Nero

Can I make a slideshow on windows movie maker to show on a dvd player?

misa

I made a slide show for my friends on Windows Movie Maker, but it can only show on the computer. How do I get it to play on a DVD player?

Answer
You need to be sure that you've saved your project as a movie file then use Windows DVD Maker to create a DVD you can play on DVD players. You'll find Windows DVD Maker at: Start>All Programs>Windows DVD Maker (unless you have Windows XP which can't burn DVDs - unless you've add an external DVD burner and DVD burning software - and which doesn't have Windows DVD Maker.)

Windows DVD Maker let's you add a menu to the beginning of your DVD but it's optional so, if you don't want a menu, you don't have to have one.
