Hello All,
When I tried to use Nero Showtime to view a DVD, I got a popup window stating "Due to patent license restrictions, MPEG-2 encoding/decoding/playback is not available. This feature can be added by installing the DVD-Video Plug-In.", even though I've already done that. Does anyone have any suggestions for me to try ? By the way...I can watch the same dvd movie correctly using ms windows media player 10 . By the way..this is the plugin that I installed thinking it would correct the problem:
Nero DVD-Mpeg2 Plugin
Thanks
David
p.s....This should have been my very first post.. :-(

It sounds like a plugin prob even thou you did install the plug you will need to install the audio pugin for Nero, DVD-Mpeg2 as far as i know is only for video and not sound, check out the Nero website they may have more info ont this.
good luck

That the prob then OEM does not come with all the plugins, it's stupid how they give you software and you still need to pay for parts for it as i found out when i got my burner with nero OEM edition.

It seems to be shareware which means you still need to pay for it, apart for paying for it theres no legal way around it, you could always use a free media player.

Hi DW49,
IF you have installed the MPEG2/DVD Plugin, you should not get this message from Nero ShowTime or even NeroVIsion Express when playing or creating a DVD-Video disc.
The fact that you are still able to play even after this message occurs, indicates that the plugin did install, though not 100%.
I would recommend the following.
1) Use the below link to download our Nero General Clean tool and uninstall our Nero software. And then reboot your system.
2) Install Nero from your OEM discs that came with your Recorder
3) Install the MPEG2/DVD encoder that you recently purchased and downloaded
4) DOwnload our latest Nero 6.6.0.13 and NeroVision 3.1.0.7 and install over your older versions.
Now see if you are able to play or create a DVD-Video disc without getting this warnning message.
P.S. OEMs who bundle our software with their recorders choose what to include with their Recorder Bundles. A number of times they choose to leave out some feature, such as Plugins, to lower their cost. This is not decided by the software developer.

No offense taken. :-)
Besides, it gives me a chance to educate someone new to the Recording world that you need to research before you buy. No bundle is the same, even if the software and recorders seem to be the same.

Nero enables and disables stuff based on serials. Pretty sure that the dshow filters that come with it handle MPEG/AC3 (no extra installs), etc. fine, that is as long as you have a serial that allows it.

As I stated previously..the only Nero software that I have is what came bundled with my new dvd burner. The version # is 6.3.1.17 bundled. Thanks for trying to help me...I was really looking forward to watching a dvd using Nero showtime, but unless I can get the audio portion to work correctly, I guess I'll just continue to use ms windows media player 10. Have a GREAT day..

Dear ccampbell,
I downloaded and installed / used the Nero general clean tool, like you suggested. I then re-installed the oem Nero suite that came with my new dvd burner . I tried playing a dvd movie again, and virtually got the same results. The video portion plays fine..but still no sound. I also re-installed the Nero DVD-Mpeg2 Plug-in.exe file into the Nero program file folder. I still receive the pop up window about due to copyrights..etc., the audio cannot play. It says I need to download / purchase the plug-in that I already have. ?? Thank goodness I can still play a dvd via ms windows media player 10.

As I stated before..really the only problem I have is that I don't have any sound when I play a dvd movie using Nero showtime. Do I really need to download and install the latest version of Nero 6.6.0.13, just to try anf correct this sound problem ? If I could just get rid of the popup notification that says the player can't play the sound , and to download the 'dvd-plugin' I'd be a happy Nero user.

Hi DW49,
Could you send me the MPEG-2/DVD Plugin that you are using?
I will install your version of Nero on a Clean system and then install the Plugin to see if I can duplicate the problem and see why this is occuring.
You can send it to me at techsupport4@nero.com

Hi I have exactly the opposite problem! I use OEM package comes with my DVD writer. I have video and audio on Nero showtime, but no audio in Media Player 10 or Real Player. To enable audio in Media Player, I need to set the audio mode from 6-speaker to 2-speaker (My PC has 2 + 1-sub woofer speakers). Seem to me the plug in auto configure speaker base on movie type.
p/s: To choose speaker type in Media player, to go Option\DVD tab. Select property from the Nero plugin pop up. You must stop the player.
Any one have similar problem?

Dear David,
Pls try to right click your mouse at the showtime screen while the player is in stop mode. Look for configuration or setting (I can't remember which one, this computer does not have Nero). There is an option to pick the speaker type, I think should be under Audio (Pls navigate around).
Good luck...

Dear David,
I have solved my problem by installing latest Nero update Nero.com/enu/Nero_6_Ultra_Edition_Update_Update.php" class="korostus" target="_blank">http://ww2.Nero.com/enu/Nero_6_Ultra_Edition_Update_Update.php
I did try your Stinky codec but problem still exist. I do not have any third party DVD plug on my system. May be worth while to uninstall all of your third party DVD plug in and then reinstall the latest Nero package.

Dear kkooi,
These codec's can really get under a persons skin sometimes...can't they . It seems that some codec's that might work for one person, may not work for another. By the way..do you have the latest ms windows media player installed on your computer: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/mp10/default.aspx
That's what makes the world a better place..when people try and help each other.
Thanks,
David :-)

Dear David,
I have Media Player 10 on my system.
Each system has unique problem due to difference hardware and software configurations. I guess many people like to help each other but most of the time we have to figure out the problem ourself, base on tips from others.
One drastic step is to uninstall all the media players and audio/video plug ins (may need to manually delete residual files from your system folders or registry keys), then install Nero to verify the problem fix. And install the rest one by one. I recommend to set a system restore point, so that you can restore to original condition quickly if first step fails.

Dear kkooi,
It's good to hear that you have the latest version of ms windows media player installed. It's really kind of strange isn't it..you are having problems with wmp, and I'm not. And I'm having problems with Nero showtime, and you aren't. I've already removed Nero once using the Nero general removal tool. Then I re-installed all of the software, and then updated it to the latest versions. But still no luck..Have a GREAT week !
David

That would be a pirated DVD-Video Plugin, so I would not recommend it. :-)
But your choice of course.
