Windows Media Player error trying open a DVD file

Asked By Kenneth M Williams 0 points N/A Posted on - 07/20/2014

Hello there,

I just bought a movie on DVD and I try to run it on my PC. To open it I use Windows Media Player and I have this error. On the cover it says that I can run the movie on PC also. Can anyone help me please to open my movie on my PC ? Is there another player that can open this DVD movie ?

Thanks !

Windows Media Player cannot play the DVD. The disc was created in a manner that the player does not support.

Windows Media Player error trying open a DVD file

Hello, 

Does this error comes to all the DVD's? If not, the issue is with the codecs, the DVD format is different of what has to be supported by Windows media player. Please check the list of supported codec of window media player. 

If your DVD support that codec, run the troubleshooter. Go to Control Panel -> Troubleshooting-> search for Windows media player DVD. 

If not, you can install the codec from internet as well you can download a new media player.

Good luck..!!
