How do i make windows media player play DVD's?

[Maximilian]

I think its garbage that they call it a "media" player and it cant even play a media thats not that long away from being replaced.

Anyways, i cant seem to find a codec or plugin that will work. Any help?

Get VLC. WMP sucks for DVDs.

Edit - To answer your original question, install a supported DVD decoder (Cyberlink, Intervideo) - for the most part you have to pay money for them, but ATi/nVidia have free ones for their card users IIRC.

- M4H

Most DVD drives include software that will install the codecs (In my case it was Cyberlink PowerDVD). I've never had any problems and I always watch my DVDs in WMP.
