codec for wmp 8 needed

Windows XP SP1
Windows MP 8.00.00.4487

Please direct me to a free codec so I can play commercial
DVDs.

Sony DVD - R DW-U18A . No codec with the device, nor
are any available from Sony, that I can find.

Thanks.

WC

1. Install WinDVD trial version but dont use the software. WMP then keep
using the codec fine.
2. Use Media Player Classic which has built in codec
