Vista DVD player

[Guest]

Hello
I have a DVD player installed in my Vista home basic system, when I try and
play DVD's, I am informed I need Codecs. DOes Media Player have a way to
update the Codecs? Any advise on where to locate the codecs?

In order to play DVD's in Home Basic you have to purchase a program to play
DVD's.

Home Basic doesn't come equipped to do so by default for legal reasons.
