Dvd Won't Play

[zippy]

I have easy media creator 7 installed. Operating system is win XP2. I have an external LaCie d2 DVDRW/CDRW and it won't play a dvd. I have tried playing dvd with windows media player 11 and an error says I need to install a dvd encoder compatable with windows media player. Does anyone know if Media Creator 7 has an encoder included in its installation.

This is your problem right here

 

"I have tried playing dvd with windows media player 11"

 

Uninstall WMP11 and also IE7 if you installed that (they really mess some apps up)

Depending on whether you have version 7 or 7.5, Easy Media Creator comes with DVD playing software. Roxio Player comes with verson 7 and I think both CinePlayer and Roxio Player are part of the EMC 7.5 suite.
