WMP 11 - Simply Cannot Play DVD ms624 11/23/2008 6:58:00 PM I put in a DVD and follow the VERY simple Instructions I found on the Internet - Nothing. I have WMP 11 open and the DVD loaded and it is spinning. I look and look for ways to get this to play - it just won't - on any DVD's. No messgaes no nothing.

What "Compatible DVD decoder software" do you have installed? http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/plugins.aspx#DVDDecoder Out of the box - Windows Media Player 11 does not play DVDs in Windows XP (which I assume - given where you posted - you have.) From the link above...

XP won't play DVDs "out of the box" - try using the free VLC Media Player (https://videolan.org/vlc/) - it'll happily play just about any other media file type you care to throw at it, as well.
