If you need a player, check your commercial DVD movies. Often they
include a player and probably also include the codecs. I wouldn't say
they're great players, buy hey, they work. One of these might also
include the codec you need to Windows media player. Insert DVD on your
computer and see if software attempts to install. :^)

He's right... many DVD movies come with the "Interactual 2.0" player
included. I don't know if it leaves the right codec behind for media
player... but it will play DVD's ok.
