Although the movie skips and stutters. Nero media player wont work either. The play indicator moves

WinXP Home SP2

640 meg memory

Media Player 10
RealOne Player Ver. 2.0
Nero 6 Media Player

None of them work.

You have to have a DVD player, such as PowerDVD or WinDVD installed to
play DVDs. The Windows Media Player uses the DVD player's codec.
That's stated up fron when opening Media Player 9 or 10. DVDshrink
has its own bulitin preview codec.
