    Trying to play DVDs in my DVD player, but getting a message that says "compatible DVD encoder not installed" in Windows Media Player (operating Windows XP on my Thinkpad).

    IBM tells me I need WIN DVD player software, but that I have to buy it. Anyone have recommendations of a free software solution so I can watch my DVDs?

    Thanks!

    you could download the klite codec pack.

    If you do need a different media player though, i would have to agree with foogoo, you should get vlc.
