are you using some specific DVD playing software(win dvd/power dvd) or Windows media player?
 
free dvd player, download Media Player Classic and then it will direct you to a free AAC decoder.

Bamn, free dvd player... you can google for the Media Player.. too lazy to link
 
i did the media player classic thing and downloaded the decoder but it plays only video with no sound... 🙁

are there any good free software decoders out there? also cant i use my radeon as a hardware decoder?
