PC User ID: 900755 United States 02/09/2011 09:56 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Need computer help on DVD Player and a Decoder! Hey guys, I'm needing some information. I don't know if this matters, but I use Firefox on my Windows XP. I have some DVDs I need to watch, and am uncertain of what I need to download. Apparently my pc doesn't play DVDs, but I am reading that there are plenty of plug-ins, and decoders available. I was hoping for free, for whatever it is that I need to download, but am willing to pay if it insures safety from adware. Here are some of the links I have been reading: [ link to www.ehow.com] [ link to windows.microsoft.com] [ link to fileforum.betanews.com] This above link is for a free dvd player, One review, negative about adware :(. )Not looking for any problems!) Do I need to download BOTH, a DVD Player AND a Decoder??? Can anyone enlightening me on what I should do to get rolling here? I hate to download the wrong thing, or do anything to mess up my pc :((.Thanks in advance! |

You need to look for a player that have all the audio and video codecs. I have a DivX player, realplayer, window media player and Alplayer. I mainly use Alplayer when playing videos. |
