Where do i get a dvd decoder?

Where do i get a free dvd decoder for windows media player?

  • when i try to play a dvd a message comes up saying in need a dvd decoder! i need a free one from a site i can trust!

  • Answer:

    no more decoders, just try a comprehensive media player. It will solve any possible decoder problems later, and what's more, this is compatible to all DVD formats. VLC media player is this tool, and better, that is free. VLC (initially VideoLAN Client) is a highly portable Multimedia player for various audio and video formats (MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, DivX, mp3, ogg...) as well as DVDs, VCDs, and various streaming protocols. http://www.brothersoft.com/vlc-media-player-61497.html?utm_source=answer&utm_medium=yuki&utm_campaign=Computers_Internet

i have windows media player 12 with this codec pack: http://www.cccp-project.net/ it plays DVDs although im not sure if its the codec pack or just media player 12

Why bother chasing after codecs? (There are dozens of them and you need the correct one for each movie.) VLC doesn't use external codecs. http://www.videolan.org/vlc/

divx.com then download ac3filter

maybe you need to get a dvd ripper help you, Personally, I use AVS Video Converter for all video conversion, I used it to convert all my DVD rips from .avi to .mp4's for my iPod. Here's some of the features from their site: Convert Video between Almost Any Formats: HD Video (inc. AVCHD, MPEG-2 HD and WMV HD), TOD, MOD, M2TS, AVI (DivX, Xvid, etc.), MP4 (inc. Sony PSP and Apple iPod), WMV, 3GP, QuickTime (MOV, QT), SWF, DVD, VOB, VRO, MPEG-1, 2, 4, H.263, H.264, Real Video, DVR-MS, MKV, FLV etc. If you want a try,here: http://www.avs4you.com/AVS-Video-Converter.aspx?sct=aff&ct=regnow&cid=175028 if you stick to freeware, Handbrake is pretty good, and free. hope it is useful
