Title: Can I play DVD's on Windows Media Player?
Post by: Tye on September 16, 2006, 01:27:15 PM

 I just found a torrent of a Phish DVD of a show I went to.

 don't have a DVD drive yet so I can't burn and watch. Can I just play it on wmp?

If not are there any suggestions?

Yes.  Make sure that you have the latest version and browse to the ts_video folder and highlight all of the files and click OPEN.  It should play fine.

 I may have to do that I downloaded Windows Media Player 10 and I get this Error when I try to play this
DVD file:
" Windows Media Player cannot play the DVD because a compatible DVD decoder is not installed on your computer. "  ???

Hey Bean
 I d/l'd that program and it plays the dvd files but it plays for a few seconds then stops and starts and does that through the whole track
 
 I noticed if I have the Spectrum graph on it does the same thing with audio but if I shut it off it plays just fine.
 Is there something that you know of that could be making the video files do this???
