Thank you, Suncoast, for your tip; I could not get this codec to work properly until I downloaded your suggestion.

I fiddled with it too. You must need an Audio codec also. The following worked for me.

If you are using WMP9 and Windows 98SE don't waste your time with this codec. Once installed you should be able to see a DVD option in the Play menu and in the Tools>Options>File Types menu there should be a check box for DVD video but neither was present.

I cannot see how any of these free MPEG2 decoders could possibly work since the media players with DVD playback capability are programmed to recognize only the main commercial software decoders like NVIDIA and PowerDVD. Anything else would require tweaking of the registry which is a skill beyond the average user.

If you want a free DVD player take my advice and use Media Player Classic. It works a treat with XP as long as you have a 1 Ghz or faster processor.

The codec is ok, however, DVD videos has no sound and it doesn't seem to work with MCE 2005. Any ideas?
