I rented like 5 Dvds, and it wont let me play them.
it becomes "Unknown Dvd" and when i hit play it gives me this error message: Windows Media Player cannot play this DVD because a compatible DVD decoder is not installed on your computer.
It takes me to this site here: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/plugins.aspx#DVDDecoder site where i can purchase a DVD encoder? WTF? i used to play Dvds for free???
I installed the latest version of windows media player and still no luck!
Can someone help me? These are original DVDs from blockbuster!
