Power DVD is good, though perhaps not as accessible as it used to be. 
Realplayer will also play DVD's and do so quite well.

Joan Ann,

You'll need to install a codec for windows media which will allow it to
understand the way the content is encoded on the disk, for DVD data this
is usually called MPEG-2.

There are free codecs out there if you do a search in google, or if you
trust Microsoft then a list of Microsoft approved ones are here:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/plugins.aspx#DVDDec
oder

Power DVD seems to be a decent bet, it costs $14.99 according to
this(http://www.burnworld.com/software/dvd-decoder/dvd-decoder-software.
htm). I've had no experience with it personally though.

You don't of course have to use Windows Media, it's possible that Real
Player (or some other similar player) will have built-in support for
MPEG-2. Others on here might know more about this than me.

Hope this helps,

Ciaran

Hi all
I was trying to play a DVD on my laptop using Windows media player and,
I
got the following message "Windows Media Player cannot play the DVD
because
a compatible DVD decoder is not installed on your computer".  Can I
download
a DVD decoder for Windows Media Player?

Thanks
Joan Ann.
