I have windows media center edition 2005. Im trying to make DVDs run in media center. I have power dvd installed but when i try and watch a dvd in media center it just keeps trying to read the dvd. I need to get this to work. I have other third party dvd players but i know this one worked before. Is there any configuration setting i have to look for? any ideas on how to go about this?

through my research...there are no free dvd decoders for windows media player...if you have other dvd software..why would you want to play the dvds through media player?

well im creating a demo machine for windows media center 2005. I need everything in the media center program to work.

then you will probably have to purchase a dvd decoder....or research it on the MS site

yeah you have to buy a third party dvd decoder. I have power dvd 5 and that doesnt work. I built another demo machine though and it did work.
