I put a DVD into my Samsung DVD player and it will not play in Windows Media Center. It tells me I need to buy a DVD code?

My suggestion would be to use something other than WMC, like VLC.

Hello, a way around it is to get codec packs like the following ones:http://www.codecguide.com/or,http://shark007.net/

Only selected versions of Windows come with a DVD Decoder (MPEG2 Decoder) which enables you to playback DVDs. For all other versions you need to install a third-party Decoder to watch them in Windows Media Player or Windows Media Center.http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/downloads/windows-media-player/plug-ins
