Playing DVD in WMP 10 without installing a DVD software

Mr. Monte · 30th January 2006, 05:25

I'm building a PC and don;t want to load any commercial DVD player SW on it. Is there a DVD player codec I can load that will allow WMP10 to play DVD's?

TIA

well decoding mpeg-2 video and ac3 audio from inside a .mpg (aka .vob) is easy and obviously possible in free players

the thing is a dvd is more than just that. so do these filters support all the menu stuff aso?

Yeah, sure. You get full dvd menus on wmp after installing them iirc

But i guess there some issues with them, since
he removed it from download page.
