This is WiMP 11? hmm... does it have any Vista-like digital restriction management built in?

Go download VLC and try that. It shouldn't complain.

Sounds like it might be problem w/ your DVD codec. I'm w/ bicostp; download VLC, it doesn't require a codec & will play just about every format you throw at it. (It'll even read VCD ISO/BIN files!)

Im not sure how to fix it but i heard that the new windows meda player had a lot of problems. just use an old version of media player then it should play it.

Makes me glad I never upgraded my WMP, still version 9, I think, maybe 10. Yes go with VLC, I use it more and more, I might even replace MWP with VLC in my quick launch button section. As for codecs! Go download a open source codecs pack. PowerDVD/WinDVD suck for getting the MPEG-2 codecs, just get the thing without a damn program.

Good luck
