I had this new pioneer dvd-rw from newegg, and brand new windows xp pro but I think I still missing something. Can you guys help me out please? I known it has something to do with decoder software or hardware but can't verify which to get or install.

The codecs that Windows Media Player can download and the klite codec pack are both for types of files (mpeg's and avi's) you would download. I thought you were saying that WMP will not play a DVD movie that you are attempting to play in your new DVD drive. For that you need a DVD decoder. I have never seen a free DVD decoder (I think there are royalties involved that prevent that).

You can easily determine if that is the case by downloading the free trial of WinDVD here:

that includes a DVD decoder. If that works, then you have to decide whether to buy a program such as WinDVD or buy a decoder that WMP can use.

What type of burning software do you have? Usually those software suites (whether it be Roxio or Nero) also include a DVD player that will have the decoder built in.

actually klite mega codec pack includes all the codecs and players he will need to play anything.

no need to pay for a dvd player when you can get it for free http://www.kltforums.com/klt/mm/sm/36_1_10.gif
