I have just purchased a Compaq Laptop C773TU It came with preloaded DOS, I have now installed win XP SP2 on it The problem i am facing is that inspite of installing codecs, Media Player 11 does not shows me the picture when I play a DVD, it just plays the sound If I try with Nero Showtime (Nero7), it plays the movie but the quality of the video is very low. Please Help
Did you ever try using VLC Media Player. No problems and the video quality is very good. Download from here
As far as i Know wmp11 cant play dvds without a dvd decoder Like Power Dvd.Install Power Dvd On Your machine and enjoy dvds.As far as Low quality Videos On Vlc Media Player Is concerned Have You Installed the Graphic accelrator software that Came With Your machine
I dont use Power DVD because it costs money$$$ You could try the free AVS dvd player found at http://www.download.com/AVS-DVD-Player/3000-7970_4-10491860.html?cdlPid=10669161 It seems ok. It can also convert stereo sound to 5.1 or 7.1 dolby surround. If you are willing to pay money then you could use Power DVD, which is still one of the best players or you could also buy Windvd. The trial is at http://www.download.com/Corel-WinDVD/3000-7970_4-10208797.html Edge
I know that AVS is not really good, but VLC has always worked fine for me, even though it does not have many DVD conrrols. Windvd is just as good as powerdvd. I tried them both out.
