| 545579 | 2007-04-30 12:45:00 | 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. Thanks, Sherman. There are hundreds of HP models. Apparently, my model doesn't have it. Is there any clue at all to look for it? |

| 545580 | 2007-04-30 12:47:00 | You still need a program to DeCSS the disk if you use a freeware MPEG2 decoder. If by Freeware you mean commercial codec illegally distributed buried in a free codec pack then sure, Im with you all the way. Though real freeware decoders have been discussed here in the past and I have never seen anyone state the need for any such software. DeCSS I presume to be the platform the DVD rippers are built upon? |
