Windows Media Player 9 & DVD's

I recently installed WMP 9, but have yet to figure out how you play
DVD's using this program. It's no real problem, as I have POWER DVD,
which is an excellent player (it came with my LG Burner). Is there a
plugin that is required?

Power DVd should have registered its codecs for use in Media Player by
default. Some program subsequent to the installation of PowerDVD maybe
has taken codec priority away from Cybelink's to something
incompatible with WMP. In any case just register PowerDVD's codecs
again with a .bat similar to that below. Or enter each line then
/Return. Edit the path if necessary to where the .ax files actually
reside.

regsvr32 C:\program files\cyberlink\shared files\videofilter\CLVSD.ax
regsvr32 c:\program files\cyberlink\shared files\audiofilter\CLAUD.ax
regsvr32 C:\program files\cyberlink\shared files\navfilter\CLNAVX.ax

... Steve ..

I tried your suggestion, still no joy. WMP 9 still won't recognize &
play DVD's.

If it were going to work it probably would have done so immediately
after installing PowerDVD anyway. I can only think there's still a
codec with higher priority that Media Player doesn't like. Look for
all files with the .ax extension and see what there is unrelated to
Cyberlink. PowerDVD and WinDVD are better players for DVDs anyway but
one last thing you can do is rip a DVD with ISObuster so that you have
just the Mpeg, then open that in Media Player 6.4 (It's still in
there, run mplayer2.exe) and on menu properties for the mpeg see what
decoder and splitter are being used..

That was a bit simplistic, obtain an Mpeg2, either DVD-720 or SVCD-480
SOMEHOW and see what Media Player 6.4 is using as the codec.
