I have a DVD player on my Windows XP computer but can't get any DVD to play on it.?

BCD3

Two different times I've downloaded DVD decoders but neighter has helped the problem. My CD player works just fine on my computer, but I can't understand why the DVD player won't work. My DVD slot says on the front of it DVD ROM. When I put the DVD in it just spins for a few minutes then nothing happens. What am I doing wrong? Do I need to activate something on the computer to get the DVD to work? Please, help.
I have a DVD player in my computer.

Answer
DVD with a copyright protect always. So I think that is the problem.

Or your DVD player not support your DVD version.

I play my DVD on computer with my Windows Media Player. Just use Aimersoft DVD Ripper to converter my DVD to AVI format.

Once I get a new DVD, I can enjoy it anywhere as I want. such as my iPod, Zune, computer etc. So I recommend you get one. Or free try it first: http://www.aimersoft.com/dvd-ripper.html#161

Hope this may help you.

Is there an pre-installed DVD player on windows XP?

Bob L

If so how do I access it
I have the drive nut when I but a DVD in it wont run

Answer
No.

You can upgrade the Windows Media player so it can play DVDs, but it wasn't pre-installed with Windows XP.

I think, you can double check microsoft though, the latest version of Windows Media Player comes with the aiblity to play DVDs - but check the update page for Windows Media Player.

But the native version of XP did not.

Phil

I have a lightscribe dvd player and windows XP. was using nero software that translated it but now the subscription expired. nero wants $80 for the new version. is there free software to burn mpeg to dvd?

Answer
http://www.download.com/DVD-Tools/3150-7970_4-0.html?tag=dir

go here and investigate burning tools at cnet.com. The link is to the dvd software download page. Most of them will have trials then you'll have to buy but there may be a few free ones on the list. If you do a lot of internet downloading of video files etc... try Plato it works great. You can convert almost any video file from the internet into dvd quality... even streaming video... it's pretty amazing.

Answer
there is a better choice and an easy way, you can try RZ DVD Creator, it can create standard video DVD from any movies with DVD title menu and chapter menu, i have used it, it can directly convert and burn any videos to DVD(DVD+R, DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+RW, DVD-DL, DVD+DL, etc), such as avi to DVD, wmv to DVD, mpg to DVD, etc.

It can burn multi videos to one disc, and can auto fit the size.

Work well on my computer, easy to use, i like it, following is a step by step guide about video DVD creation:

Hope it can help you.

What are possible causes for my newly built pc to not recognize the dvd player?

freebird31

i have built my pc and installed windows xp and everything is fine, I triple checked everything and I can't find the fault when it comes to the recognition of the dvd player by my system during boot.

What do I do next?

type nr dvd: LGGH- 20NSRBB
Motherboard: EVGA NF750i

any input appreciated! thanks.

Answer
I suspect you are going to have to do two things:

- Make sure the latest drivers for the DVD player are installed on your system. Check the manufacturer's web site.
- If that doesn't help, you should double-check the BIOS settings in terms of this DVD player. Maybe this tip might work - http://forums.microsoft.com/msdn/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=3711126&SiteID=1
