dvd-decoder

[orra]

Have bought a new laptop - want to play DVD but the
Mediaplayer asks for a compatible DVD-decoder. Discovered
that they cost money...?
Can I do something else to get this or should'nt it be
availiable in the laptop already?

My question: how can I play a DVD record in my brand new
laptop?

You must purchase a DVD Decoder. no way around it. PowerDVD and WinDVD are
the most popular.

If the notebook comes with a DVD drive, the decoding software should have
been included. Have you asked the notebook manufacturer?

It is called Miksoft.
It is an independant DVD player, but it also lets you watch DVDs in Windows
Media Player.
