please do not include bad answers like Vista Sucks
coz I also know that
or
an alternative player

thanks

Answer
You do not want an alternative player. Why not. Windows Media Player sucks and I could go on a trip around the world when I was given a dollar for everytime somebody had trouble with wmp. You have to download all kind of codecs etc and then you still can't be sure. Leave wmp alone as soon as possible and make your live easy.
I will recommend an alternative player anyway.. Gomplayer. It is free and plays all file types, audio, dvd's without having to download anything.
Go to preferences -- Others -- select All File Types and Codecs.
As a nice bonus you can make nice pictures (screen captures) of the video (DVD) you are watching.
Right click on player for menu then Control Panel (F7). Click on CP or hit F7. Now youl can make screen captures.
It is up to you whether to keep on struggling with wmp or download Gomplayer

I have a lightscribe dvd player and windows XP. was using nero software that translated it but now the subscription expired. nero wants $80 for the new version. is there free software to burn mpeg to dvd?

Answer
http://www.download.com/DVD-Tools/3150-7970_4-0.html?tag=dir

go here and investigate burning tools at cnet.com. The link is to the dvd software download page. Most of them will have trials then you'll have to buy but there may be a few free ones on the list. If you do a lot of internet downloading of video files etc... try Plato it works great. You can convert almost any video file from the internet into dvd quality... even streaming video... it's pretty amazing.

best dvd player on windows image

TheHelper

I have a VAIO Laptop with a DVD Player (Windows Media Player). Is it possible If the shop can change my DVD Player so that it can play Blue Rays and DVDs?

Thank You,
X
PS: If possible, please list your source.

Answer
I can't say definitely for your model, but usually laptop CD/DVD/Blu-ray drives are replaceable even if they're not meant to be user replaceable.

Your best option is to take it to a computer repair shop, they can open it up and have a look
(note opening laptops is a very fiddly procedure there is like a million screws and you need a precision screwdriver set to do it.).

If it is, you or the repair shop should be able to purchase a " laptop blu ray drive " from ebay or a computer parts seller. It doesn't matter what make, it's a standard fitting.

What is the best FREE region free DVD player to run on Windows Vista?

best dvd player on windows image

gt_bayarea

Windows Media Player on my new PC running Windows Vista is limiting my ability to play foreign language DVDs purchased in other countries (it says that the DVD is not made for region 1). It I tried to look for a FREE region-independent DVD player software, but my search turned up only unreliable players like RioDVD Region Free Player. Are there any recommendations out there?

Thanks.

Answer
VLC media player will play literally anything. It's hard to find files that VLC won't play. (Well, of course I mean files that are media files)

best dvd player on windows image

Dilford

i have a ton of blank DVD's and a wmv of the video. How do i burn it to the dvd so i can play it on a dvd player? im running windows 7 64 bit. and the software needs to be FREE.

Answer
Use Windows DVD Maker.

I am using a tool called DVD Creator which lets me burn WMV and all other kinds of videos to DVD easily. Any format you want, it can burn to DVDs. Supports Single and Dual Layer Disc. Easy to use and professional. It lets you burn multiple WMV movies on one DVD disc. And it's fast.

Once you've burnt the DVD, you can watch it on DVD player through TV.

You may give it a try. Check out the step by step guide at:
http://www.dvd-creator-converter.com/tutorials/convert-wmv-to-dvd.html

Best of luck.

Is there a dvd player available that will read and play a windows media video disk?

chimaymx

is there a dvd player that can play a windows media video disk?

Answer
There isn't dvd player which can read and play windows media video disc, because most regular DVD player only recognize the standard video DVD which include VOB, IFO and BUP files, some Divx/Xvid DVD player can read divx/xvid avi videos on dvd disc. So if you want to convert/burn any videos to DVD to play well on regular DVD player, you should use the right program, I am using RZ DVD Creator to do this well, it can convert any burn any movies to video DVD/Divx AVI video/Xvid AVI video, such as convert/burn windows media video to video DVD, etc. You can yahoo or google serach RZ DVD Creator and download it, easy to use, good quality, hope it can help you.
