DVD decoder

[MargeB]

where can i get one? it's missing from my laptop, I have all the other software and the drive 'works' but all apps that use DVDs say that they can't play cos they're missing a decoder. Are there any around? free?

thanks a lot in advance

This site seems to have some free ones, I'll have a look for more.

see if that fulfills your needs :)

otherwise, try powerDVD, which will install the decoder so you can play DVDs in windows media player, for example.
