| 545569 | 2007-04-30 09:13:00 | Just downloaded the Trial ver, installed and it's working fine. But have got only 30 days to use it.I imagine that the codec installed when you installed the trial version will work with Windows Media Player indefinitely, but the trial version application will only work for 30 days. So after the 30 days WMP should still be able to use it. I could be wrong, but I doubt it :D Mike. |

| 545570 | 2007-04-30 09:53:00 | My XP machine's Windows Media Player 11 plays the DVD happily and why the newer Vista's Media Player could not play the same DVD? Is there any settings somewhere to overcome this problem? | bk T (215) | ||
| 545571 | 2007-04-30 10:22:00 | You must have had DVD codecs installed at some stage. I know on Kelly Theriot's website there is a reg hack to enable DVD playback on WMP, but I tried it and couldn't get it to work. WMP should obtain the codecs from the PowerDVD trial version you downloaded. Have you tried it a DVD in in WMP since you got that PowerDVD trial version? |

| 545573 | 2007-04-30 10:56:00 | You can use the GPL MPEG1/2 Codecs (sourceforge.net), if you install something like AnyDVD (www.slysoft.com) or DVD Idle Pro (www.dvdidle.com) to DeCSS the DVD. However this still involves buying software. |

| 545574 | 2007-04-30 11:04:00 | Found an older ver of PowerDVD, installed but Vista doesn't like it, says it has a known issue. When I bought my new vista PC last month I got a copy of power DVD 6 on disc. I installed it anyway and got the same "known issues" message. I haven't found any issues with it, and windows even suggested a download to fix it. |

| 545576 | 2007-04-30 12:05:00 | I notice that it is a HP laptop. If you go to HP's website, some laptop model's have winDVD available for download from the software/drivers download section... And if your model doesn't have it, there are always other models to try that I KNOW have it available... its only the basic program with 2.1 audio support only but it does have a fully working decoder. As Im sure you can tell, I had the exact same problem when I installed vista (business) on my compaq laptop. |
