Can't play DVDs in WMP and the KMPlayer

[pushkar]

I got a new SONY NEC Optiarc AD-7200A DVD burner installed in my PC yesterday. The problem is that I am not able to play video DVDs in Windows Media Player (both 10 and 11) and KMPlayer. When I try using WMP, it gives this error message:

In KMPlayer, it gives Error: Can't Play DVD.

I have K-Lite Codec Pack Standard installed. I can play the same DVD in VLC Media Player. The DVD drive has the latest firmware installed.

Please don't tell me to dump WMP and use some other software. I use WMP only under special conditions.

Dude, please see the screenshot I have linked in my post. The error which I am getting is not the one which is caused due to non-availability of a DVD Decoder. I already have NVIDIA PureVideo Decoder installed on my XP.

Forget about Windows media Player. Use Cyberlink Power DVD. I think you would have got that in the CD bundled with your DVD Drive

Why is that you want to play DVD in WMP itself.

You did not mention that earlier

@Beta Waves, I have to use WMP to give effects of DFX Enhancer.

And no, I didn't get CyberLink PowerDVD along with the DVD drive. The CD contains only Nero 8 Essentials.

hmmm...

install K-Lite Mega Codec Pack latest version
& then try playing it in WMP

4 better movie xperience use power DVD 8.0 or WinDVD 9 Plus....
coz they play better than WMP....& after all its ur choice

I don't think this is a codec problem, because the player doesn't even try to play it. As soon as the player opens, it gives this error. And with nvidia decoder installed, I don't think it needs another codec pack.

OK, I tried it. It still doesn't work.

Just for your information, I had another DVD burner about two years ago. At that time, I was able to play DVDs using WMP. But that burner went defective after 1-2 months.

But since that time, I have reinstalled Windows one or two times and installed numerous applications.

I know my PC has some software problem. The DVD disc doesn't have any problem. Thats what I want to solve.

You can try installing K-Lite Codec Pack. It wont hurt to install, just 13 mb or so.
