Problems with Windows Media Player

[robh84]

Can anyone help? I'm unable to play video on WMP. I insert a dvd into the drive and theres no video. SOme audio but no video. The dvd will play with Power DVD or Nero, but not WMP. I'm also unable to view internet video, does anyone have any ideas? I'm using XP home edition. Thanks

I recommend ffdshow myself.

But also, the problem is Windows Media Player

You should get Media Player Classic, it plays more formats than WMP and isn't quite as annoying.

This is the solution.
I highly recommend K-Lite.

Okay. I'll chime it too. I have always used the K-lite codec pack and it has done well for me.

It also includes what DRF was saying above plus more.

It has worked well in XP, Vista, and Windows 7.

More than like your problem with WMP will be fixed as well because it sounds like it's missing a codec that XP does not have pre-installed.

Good Luck
