Can your PC play a DVD-Video movie?

Having a DVD-ROM or DVD-RW drive in your computer is not good enough to play a DVD movie. You also need to have the following application installed.

• Install a free media player program. VLC Media player (VLC) plays DVDs and almost all other videos out of the box. You can also use Windows Media Player, which comes installed on most PCs and is simple for beginner users, but requires extra software to play DVDs and many other video formats.
• If you are using Windows Media Player, upgrade to the latest version. Go to the help menu to find a link to the latest upgrade, currently version 11.
• Install an MPEG 2 codec. This is the file you need for Windows Media Player to know how to interpret the files on the DVD. Download a free MPEG 2 codec. While there are several versions, including Stinkycodec that are purportedly functional and free.
