Check out this thread, you'll find a number of free codec packages and media players.

well i dont know wut to download this is wut the error says

"windows media player cannot play this DVD because there is a problem with digital copy protection between your DVD drive, decoder, and video card. try installing an update driver for your video card.

 

and btw i have all rdy updated my video card 

nvr mind the first download on that list works thank for the link
