    HI! I've been looking for a DVD playback codec. Yes, I know this codec is included in many, many different codec packs. No, I don't need any codec pack suggestions or recommendations. What I'm looking for is just the DVD playback codec!!! That's it. Nothing less, nothing more. I've done some quick Googling and all I can find is many, many sites plugging their particular favorite pack. Once again: I DO NOT want a full codec pack. I just want the single DVD playback codec. The idea is to get DVD playback without having to install a different media player or a full pack of codecs.

    THANKS!

    Oh yeah... this would be for Windows XP and Windows Media Player 9 or 10.... ;)

    Thanks for the link JP, but I can't get the freekin' thing to download.... I click your link, then type in the download code, clicked the "click here to download", waited the 45sec, and it said "please wait" and I waited quite awhile and no dice....

    WHAT?!?!?! You got that message TOO?!?!?! That means I'm not actually the 999,999th visitor. What?!?! Is that a scam or something????

    (yes, I'm being very sarcastic)
    LOL roflmao

    Sorry to pop your bubble.;)
    Hope you didn't click to see what you won. Probably more than you would want.
    But we have people here that could help you get rid of it.:wave:-D

    Hmmm... I tried the 1st link again on a different PC and it just sat at the "Please wait...." again, but the 2nd link worked OK. As soon as I get a chance to install this codec, I'll post about it's functionality.
    :-D
    THANKS!

    Hi everyone, I joined up so that I could offer my thanks for your help. I also recently did a fresh install of XP Pro Sp2. I downloaded the first suggested pack in this thread and installed it but couldn't get it to work. So I uninstalled it and tried the pack suggested by Just_Playin. It's a very easy and quick install and it works perfectly! Many, many thanks!!! You guys are great and I'll be recommending this site to my students. :D

    Not to resurrect an old thread here, but this codec does work fine, but it seems that the volume level is VERY low when using this codec. If I playback a DVD using a paid app like WinDVD on the same computer w/o making any volume changes to anything anywhere, the volume is fine. So- if anyone can recommend another DVD-ONLY codec, I'd be very happy. And on another note- the Vista Codec Pack does NOT provide DVD playback support with Windows Media Player.....
    THANKS!
