WMP 12 will not play Store bought DVD's, it will sometimes open the menu screen or FBI warning then stops and screen has a black background (does not go black) and in the top left says unknown DVD. Other times it claims there is a issue between decoder, wmp and video card. Install a updated driver for video card. This is however not true I have the latest driver and it checks fine with the system. Even rolling back the driver has no effect. It plays other media fine and copies but not store bought DVD's.
Things I have tried:
Disabling and re-enabling WMP and Media center
Updating DRM and resetting DRM
SFC Scannow
Adding codecs and removing codecs
tested with other players MPHC, VLC, SMplayer and they all work fine.
Installed all updates and newest drivers for audio and video and Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit.
Used Microsoft media player fix-it (Did not fix-it)
Turned Hardware acceleration on and off.
ran troubleshooter for dvd drive and WMP player says 'cannot find the problem'
Tried switching from Region free DVD player to a Region 1 external player
There is no change it just won't play DVD's no matter what I try.
This is a new (1 week old) clean install of WIn 7 64 bit Ultimate, it is Genuine and worked fine for the first week. I have not tweaked it. Everything else works and tests fine. I have installed a 1GB Pegatron Radeon HD 6450 PCI-E 16 video card, SIIG Sound-wave Audio surround card and 4GB Ram. The DVD drive is a multirecorder lite on.
WMP 12 is being stubborn, but I like it for Radio streaming and other small things. But It should play DVDs and did for about a week, I did nothing but install Windows auto-updates and it won't work. I cannot find an update that directly affected it (or is related to WMP) either. I see a lot of DRM associtated issues and complaints about WMP 12 online (It is ugly and non-customizable.) But there are almost no solutions that work, Any ideas?
