| 392080 | 2005-09-30 00:26:00 | I have just bought a 2nd hand dvd/cdrw combo drive with no software. I have no problems with the drive, it is listed and reads cd ok but wont read dvd, do I need software so that dvd's will play? | nodrog (7115) | ||
| 392081 | 2005-09-30 00:32:00 | Yes, you will need software. PowerDVD and WinDVD are the two biggest ones, but fir a freebie solution you can try VLC (http://www.videolan.org/) | Edward (31) | ||
| 392082 | 2005-09-30 00:33:00 | Yep, you do need some type of software so that dvd's can play. I think Windows media player can play dvds, but I think that depends on what version of Windows media player & windows you have. |

| 392084 | 2005-09-30 02:25:00 | Windows Media Player requires a 3rd party decrypter, so AFAIK OOTB it cant. | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
| 392085 | 2005-09-30 02:30:00 | All you need is a codec, then just about any media player can do the job. The required codec is found in many codec packs,including k-lite codec pack, just take note that if you do install a codec pack then uncheck everything apart from the ones you want. |
