How to play DVD on WMP 11?

Hey Guys, It might be easy to answer to my question, but I am really irritated. I cant play DVD on my laptop using WMP 11, It ask for right codec’s and redirects me to windows site but till yet I couldn’t find out the right codec for it I tried it several times, either I have to play DVD in media direct or Divx player but how do I play it in WMP. Any solutions should I get it from you all, which specific codec should I use to play DVD format movies. Any help much appreciated. Thanks.

If you're using Windows 7 you can use the Windows Media Center and it should play from there.

You can also use Shark's Codecs for Windows 7 which will add every codec needed for the common video and audio files today.

If you have a 64 bit OS there is a plugin pack for that also.

Hi Johnmark2

Windows Media Center in Windows 7 is quite good with DVDs my wife uses it quite a lot.
