RE: comp suppose to play DVD...not working:(...
Who said I don't know what DeCSS (=right spelling :p) is? What I meant with my unclear "hu?" was:

DeCSS is an illegal program to crack the (old) CSS copy protection used on some DVD's which aren't meant to be copied.

But the error that NoName is getting doesn't have anything todo with this as he can't even play the DVD (or so he said in his first posts).

The CSS copy protection doesn't prevent playing the DVD (it would then be kind of pointless to even make and sell the DVD).


PS: So, infact you're breaking forum rules for suggestion this (although it wouldn't do any good anyways)

i mean the legal decoders you purchase in dvd playing software. You cant play dvds on ur pc without powerdvd or simillar, otherwise wmp and other programs will say there is no dvd decoding device.

Yes you can. All programs which support playing of DVD's can... erm... play DVD's :D (all you need are your normal DVD-drivers for your DVD device)

WMP doesn't depend on PowerDVD (or similar) to be installed, or vice versa. Also there is no decoding needed what-so-ever for CSS in the way you say because, as said, it is a copy protection, not a play protection.
