It looks like you installed a "codec pack" which installed a number of
things you don't want to your system. I'd imagine that this is getting in
the way of playback.

Codec packs are almost always extremely poorly designed, and as such should
be removed with prejudice...

Hello there,

I have been trying to figure this out the whole day, but couldn't.
Maybe someone knows better?!

Windows Media Player Version 10 cannot recognize my DVD, though it can
play its video. No sound, however with this one.

I get the following error message: "Windows Media Player cannot play
DVD video. Open Display in Control Panel, and then lower your screen
resolution and color quality settings. To view the DVD Troubleshooter,
click More Information."

Lowering the resolution and color quality settings did not help.
Everything else that the trouble shooter recommended, neither.

My guess is that I am missing an audio codec. For the audio codecs
installed on my computer see the list below. However, I am not sure,
whether this is the problem. And if yes, I have no idea which codec is
missing.

On the DVD the audio files are protected, so I can't see, what type
they are.

Any advise would be much appreciated - thanx!

Michaela
