Re: Windows Media 11 not playing DVDs


Yeah - that's why it can be good to start a new thread as opposed to
dogpiling on an existing one. =)

What are the results under WMP's Help:About:Technical Support Information
menu tool under "MPEG Filters"?

OK I don't know what an MPEG Filter is.
How do I check my system and get that list
I'm getting lost in these postings.

Thanks

No, none of those third party MPEG components have ever been installed by
any version of Windows Media Player whatosever.

The Windows Media Player installer does not and should not know about the
MPEG filters installed to your system, and should not be in the business
of
attempting to guess if you have installed Good or Bad filters or codecs.

The correct Microsoft MPEG filter is already installed to Oke's system -
it's the one marked "Microsoft" in that list.

This has been a "problem" (feature, really) since day one: you've always
been able to install your own MPEG filters that overrode the Microsoft
ones.
That's what has happened here. Because Windows Media Player isn't in the
business of micro-managing your filters, there's nothing you can do
within
the player to handle this.

It is a good idea to think about what multimedia software you install to
your system and not install random codecs/filters.

Could I just get a WMP Update and when WMP stomped on the APP that
stomped
on
WMP I would know the culpret.
Hay! I did; It was WMP 11 that was installed last and WMP 11 didn't fix
the
problem. Do I need to get the correct MPEG filter from MS? Doesn't it
come
with WMP 11?

Hm, so you've installed three different sets of codecs that stomp on
the
Windows App's settings and made it not work like it was supposed to.
Any
reason for doing that? What installed the large variety of MPEG
filters
you
list below?

I'd bet that if you just had the Microsoft MPEG filters installed,
which
is
how the system should work before it's touched, this would work just
right.
I believe the Ligos filters in particular below might cause problems,
but
the key thing is that your machine has overwritten the default
DVD/MPEG
filters. This is very much related to why this wouldn't work.

One way for this to keep "working like it is supposed to" is to
disallow
you
from installing random or bad software on the computer, but that
wouldn't
make anyone happy. =)

I'd suggest figuring out which set of filters is bad and then
complaining
to
whomever installed those to your system. If vendors don't ship
software
that doesn't work, this would be much less likely to break. =)

Here are the results you asked for. I am not a techie and have
absolutely
no
idea what this means. I do agree with PUDDLER - it would be nice for
a
Windows App to work like it is supposed to.

Usually this breaks down because other tools stomp on WMP's
decoders.
It
can be hard and/or bad to prevent things from stomping on other
things
like
that. =\

Looks like MS needs to hire a consultant programmer from VLC or
CyberLink.
I don't like to add another application to do what the Windows
APP
should
do.
Is it too much to ask that what I paid for should work and be
supported?

If I use Media Center or Media Player now the Video and sound

POWERDVD by CyberLink works OK.
CD's play OK in all three APPS.
I just installed Media Player 11. It did not fix anything.
I have looked at all Options / Settings and have not found
anything
to make it better.
I looks like a buffer or timing problem; maybe caused by a
Microsoft
Update that I shouldnt have applied.
I appreciate any suggestions
=====================
The following free player might be worth a try:

VLC Media Player
