Dvd Decoders

I have a Sony DDU161 DVD/CDROM with which I have had no problems until now...not that it is a problem but XP Media Player requests that I install/purchase a DVD Decoder.

I have just replayed 2 DVD's no problem but this new one I have just purchased will not play and comes up with the issue of DVD Decoder required.

Quite frankly I get a bit cheesed off that XP and Media Player requires that I throw extra money their way for this.

Is their any way around this please without having to hand out EXTRA bucks.

Thanks a million

Thanks Arie,

I was waiting for others to come onboard in hopeful anticipation.
I have since found a couple of sites that offer a trial run which has proved to be helpful.

I always endeavour to acknowledge and express my appreciation for any and all assistance.

Thanks for your time and help.
