I thought it was because I'm using an iMac and the drivers for Windows weren't complete or whatever. So MS tells me I have to buy a DVD codec. Cheers! Are there any free ones compatible with Media Player? http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=j--8iXVv2_U On the sixth day God created Manchester "You gotta get that sand out your vaj!" x13 www.bossbaddie.com

It's pretty stupid; but I figure M$ assumes you'd get a codec with your DVD drive (Unless you OEM your gear like I do). As for a free one, I can't think of any legal way to get a free codec (unless you use one of them shitty online dvd players with the built in codecs) Craps, I'm an old man!

I have the same problem btw, but you can load the dvd through parallels, but then you'd need to copy the files or something and boot into windows fully (assuming you were using bootcamp with parallels and that you had parallels ) http://bfollington.tumblr.com

I suppose this is one of the benefits of OSX, native MPEG2 support. ah well. I've settled with VLC for DVDs now. Not ideal but it'll have to do. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=j--8iXVv2_U On the sixth day God created Manchester "You gotta get that sand out your vaj!" x13 www.bossbaddie.com

I don't have any kind of specialty DVD player programs on my PC, and Windows Media Player opens up my DVD's and plays them fine. http://www.facebook.com/truediamondgame

DaVince This fool just HAD to have a custom rating Registered 04/09/2004 Points 7998	27th February, 2007 at 13:55:27 - Huh? No, the K-Lite Codec Pack, which has nothing to do with Kazaa. Old member (~2004-2007).
Tim I'm on here way too much Registered 25/08/2006 Points 132	27th February, 2007 at 15:49:03 - That's what I thought :\ ... K-Lite = Kazaa Lite to me K++, hehe. Not that I've ever used it before in my entire life... <_< >_> A 'friend' had it once. http://www.SilverNova.co.uk
