| 234664 | 2004-05-06 05:24:00 | This is driving me crazy, I am wanted to play stuff I got off a DVD. It works on the computer that has the DVD player, but the one I want to play it on, does not have one. I have installed Divx, and InterActual player, neither work. |

| 234665 | 2004-05-06 05:46:00 | When you say 'DVD player' do you mean the DVD-ROM drive?? If so then you won't be able to read a DVD in a CD-ROM/CDRW drive. If the both PC's have a DVD-ROM drive in them then you need some software to read the DVD. DivX won't work until you convert the DVD movie into a DivX avi. InterActual player should work though. Does it come up with an error? |

| 234666 | 2004-05-06 05:53:00 | The files are not on DVD, i used smartripper, and DVDx to put them to harddrive, and some other whatsit to convert them to mpeg 02. I can not play them, or the extracted vob files on the computer without the DVD-rom. I thought DivX could play vob files, so I had not tried going to avi. WMP just lookes for a codec on the website or something, then says error downloading codec, because there is none or something. |

| 234667 | 2004-05-06 06:04:00 | Rip it using DVD Shrink from dvdshrink.org You can use a plugin then for WinAmp, or VideoLAN Client (Why didnt I think of VLC earlier today?) to play the DVD's. Then, look into DivX conversion once you've ripped it properly if you're short on HDD space :-) Chill. |

| 234668 | 2004-05-06 06:05:00 | Ah that's right I did read your other post about this. Try media player classic (www.divx-digest.com). That's what I use to view DVD files off a HDD. |

| 234669 | 2004-05-06 06:39:00 | I have other posts about this? oops. But you still have not explained the fact that they work on one computer, not on the other. |

| 234670 | 2004-05-06 06:41:00 | Are you trying to share the DVD Drive via the network by any chance? Could you explain a little more by "It works on one but not the other"? Error messages? Apps used?? Chill. |

| 234671 | 2004-05-06 08:54:00 | > Could you explain a little more by "It works on one but not the other"? I think he means that the same files that were ripped off the DVD are on both computers but he can only play them on the computer with the DVD drive. |

| 234672 | 2004-05-06 09:56:00 | simply install the dvd software that you use on the pc with the dvd drive onto the other pc. | tweak'e (174) | ||
| 234673 | 2004-05-06 11:05:00 | OK. I thought InterActual, or DivX would do it though, thats why I got them. Now I just have to find the disk somewhere. Thanks |
