When people are trying to fix this problem they often end up at the Microsoft website where there are left with a choice of decoders that are priced around $14.95.
This sounds like a reasonable price, however you can also download a free Windows XP codec pack that will do the same job. http://www.free-codecs.com/XP_Codec_Pack_download.htm When you have download it, install it, and then Bob's your uncle! (your done).
This XP Codec pack will not only install the DVD codec's you need, but it will also install extra audio codec's for playback of DVD movies.
Same problem occurs in some versions of Windows Vista which is unbelievable. They really should have included these codec's with this operating system. Windows Vista Home premium and Ultimate do have the codecs you need to play a dvd in Windows Media player, however the others do not. Here is the Vista Codec Pack http://www.free-codecs.com/download/Vista_Codec_Package.htm
