What if any instructions came with the "mpeg2-codec you purchased"? Did you follow them? cd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

idaho Posted December 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2009 Explain how you except the player to work, details please? cd i have a dvd that i want to view (i have ran it on my other laptop so i know the dvd works) i put the dvd in the laptop and the windows player comes up but nothing happens. before downloading the mpeg2-codec I would get the error that i needed the mpeg2-codec. i clicked on something (can't remember just where) and it said the codec weren't correct, but the roxio website where i purchased those codec's show these are the correct ones for windows xp. am i missing the correct hardware?

What are you calling "winDVD player" this, http://www.corel.com/servlet/Satellite/us/...mp;tabview=tab0? If so why did you buy DVD Decoder Pack 2.3.1, WinDVD comes with all you need too watch DVD's. cd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
