You need PowerDVD. It is a player which allows you to watch DVDs on your PC.

You just use media player to watch and play your DVD. I don't think the limit does apply kardi03.

Good luck

Good question Koola, answer. do not know as I have the full version of powerdvd.....

Worth looking into I think....

My dad showed me it....

Nothing but media player installed....inserted dvd - no go..
Then installed powerdvd.
Inserted dvd, opened up media player...Bingo....

dll/codecs etc must utilise the same ones.....

kardi03...it sounds like it has defaulted to a different drive. Go into the configuration page (click on spanner OR ctrl c) and set the correct drive up...

Also uncheck the play upon insertion (bloody annoying)...
