    media player and dvds

     
    About three/four years ago I took some of my codecs/decoders from my PowerDVD software and added it into my MSmedia-player. The end result was the ability to watch dvds with MSmedia player OR PowerDVD. Mission accomplished!

    The problem is I forgot what/how I did it and haven't been able to find any instructions to be able to repeat it. I have added 2 more systems and wish to do the same to them as well......

    Any suggestions???????

    Thanks for any input!

    because the massive codecs dont have the codecs to play the DVD's



    You should be able to install power dvd and then media player will pick up the codecs/decoders

    the problem with those codec packages is they sometimes mess up video and sound.
