Can you recommend a free DVD decoder for Window's XP?

NMPD

The only ones that Microsoft recommends require payment. When using a Mac interface, I can run DVDs without having to buy any software. Surely there's a way that I can do the same with Windows XP?

Answer
Just download VLC Player.

Or if you want to use only WMP, download K-Lite codecs.

Can you recommend a good video player to replace Windows media player?

Can you recommend a good video player to replace Windows media player?

Needs to be free, and as good as Media player. Media Player is not playing all of my downloaded files, Iâm running XP and this is for downloaded files, not DVDâs movies.

Answer
I've tried tons of alternatives including all of the ones mentioned here (in the comments area) and i find these are the best, in order of importance, and the reasons why:

1. Gom Player

Why?: It seems these guys decided to look and steal the best of what makes the other players good and incorporate it into a very smart, clean interface. It can play some partial files but can't play some things like Vobs, and Bin files

Download: http://www.gomplayer.com/download.html

2. Vlc Player

Why?: This is the granddaddy that can play ANY video file out there. It's user interface is GAWD-AWFUL (quite possibly the most annoying and developer abused tool when it comes to user interface ever). It is solely because it can play ANY movie file including ANY partially downloaded video file that makes it a very important part of video players. Besides that i have only bad things to say about this program.

Download: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/

3. Media Player Classic

Why?: This one was put together by a hacker team who was fed up with Microsoft and their half-arsed work on Windows Media Player and took the v6.0 Media Player and spruced it up BIG TIME. It has a lot of features and can play some partial files well,

Download: http://www.afterdawn.com/software/video_software/video_players/media_player_classic.cfm

For me i use ALL 3 of these ones together since each can do something the other cant. But Gom is the closest to being perfect. For you i recommend you get Gom Player and depending if you are a big p2p downloader i would also recommend u get Vlc Player too (to play partial movie downloads -- this program is incredible at that).

I also recommend you download and install the K-Lite Codec Pack..this will give you all the video codecs that you need to play ANY movies/videos that you come across without concern for cases like video runs but no audio, or vise-versa...

How do I play photographs on a DVD player?

G-Mo 16

If I burn jpeg (or other image file types) onto a blank DVD disc, will it play on a regular DVD player? If not, how can I do this?

Answer
You can use software to create slideshow DVD's.

Nero PhotoShow is one of the best slideshow software available. You can download a free trial.
http://www.usnero.photoshow.com/

Ulead cd and dvd picture show 4 is also highly recommended.
http://www.ulead.com/dps/runme.htm

Roxio's PhotoSuite would be another alternative, however Roxio does not match Nero's popularity.
http://www.roxio.com/enu/store/photo.html

Windows PhotoStory 3 is a free alternative if you have XP.
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/digitalphotography/photostory/default.mspx

Windows Movie Maker is another free choice, which is not all that bad, although there are many more features in the above choices.

How do I put the pictures from my panasonic lumix camera into my laptop?

best dvd player free download xp image

Sky

Ok so i recently had a sleepover and i have a lot of pictures i wantto put on facebook but how do i put it on my laptop? i have a SD card and a card reader in my laptop so i put it in but i can't find the pictures. I clicked computer but the only "removable disk" was for the dvd player thingy. help?

Answer
Your laptops card reader might not detect your card if it is bigger than 2G.


Download camera to pc

You have 3 ways to do this.

1. install the software that came with the camera and connect your camera via the USB cord, put your camera in playback mode. Your software should auto download your camera.

2. Use a card reader (you need a external USB card reader if your card is over 2G). Open MyComputer (XP) or Computer (vista) and see your card, open it and copy paste from your card to your pictures file or videos to your videos file. Please note that videos and pictures are in 2 different folders on your card.

3. If you have Windows Vista with Windows Photo Gallery, then you do not need any software, just hook your camera to your pc, via the USB cord and put the camera in playback mode, WPG will auto download and the program will launch and voila your pics and videos will be there.

If you want to use Windows Movie Maker to edit your cameras videos, you will need to convert the videos using a free video converter, http://www.handbrake.fr/ or http://www.any-video-converter.com/download-avc-free.php

How do I convert a DVD taken off my sony camcorder so it will play on my computer?

Scott H

I videotaped myself playing guitar and singing; then I used a standard DVD player to download it to. The DVD will play on a home DVD player but Windows says the file is not supported. I cannot open it or upload it on my Dell Dimension E510.

Answer
Just finalize disk & insert to pc drive to upload/import to pc to edit / share

There are 3 types of files on DvD disc=>.vob, .ifo & .bup. IFO is an index file containing navigational info, i.e., where a video chapter begins & where audio & subtitle streams exist w/in the movie (VOB) file. Only the video.vob file is used for editing - convert if not supported.

>>> Import VOB files (mpeg2) directly using Ulead VStudio or Power Director
http://video-editing-software-review.top...

Or use .FREE. Windows movie maker (entry-level editor bundled w/ XP or Vista)

Unfortunately, .vob is not supported by wmmaker.
Convert video.vob files to avi or wmv first before import to editing app.
=>Try Prism or Kates (free video converter)
- google, download & open app
- set supported output format/resolution (avi; wmv) & pc folder destination
- insert FINALIZED DvD disc to pc drive
- add video.vob files from DvD folder/Video_TS

video editing process- XP/wmm2
>>> open wmm- start/all programs/wmm->TASK pane
1. Import converted video files, music, pics-
2. Edit- drag/drop video files->timeline & enhance w/effects, transition, music & titles
3. Finish (render)- save Movie âOK for youTube, also save Project.msmmw file
>>> Share-burn to DvD, use DvD authoring app, e.g.,DvD Flick, Nero, etc.)

For Vista/wmm6, tâis similar: Import/ Edit/ Publish/

What kinds of movie files can you play on a DVD player that is DIVX certified?

marsroxx

I just bought a Philips DVP5960 upconverting DVD player and I tried to play some .AVI files with it but nothing happened. The manual says it will play .WMA files. Is it easy to convert from .AVI to .WMA? Help! Any information on DIVX and DVD players will be helpful! Thanks!

Answer
AVI is for audio and video, as you already know it but you're getting confused with wmA (AUDIO) and wmV (VIDEO).

WMA is just like mp3 promoted by microsoft for compressed audio format.

Now to your problem to watch DIVX movies on DVD player. Your player muct be DIVX compatible to play divx and phillips does make those. You need to check the manual or online for compatibility.

If it's not compatible, dont worry. Let me give you the simplest possible solution. You need to convert DIVX movies into DVD Video format and burn it in VR mode - sounds complex don worry - read on.

Windows XP media center can burn DVDs for you but it does not come with DIVX codecs to read divx movies required for conversion. Download FREE codecs from divx.com, start windows media center, goto video, add dovx video, burn. Inset into you phillips player and ENJOY!!!

Last piece of advice: make sure you check the compatibility of DVDR format of your phillips DVD player. There are still some boxes which support only one format DVD+R or DVD-R and use the same as required by your DVD player.

Hope this helps.
