Playing DVD's on laptop

[Coppertop84]

Hi all,

I have tried playing a film DVD on my laptop (Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Windows XP) but it will not let me and says something about not compatible because of DVD decoder.

Does anyone know if there is anything free I can do to make my laptop compatible to play DVD's?

Thanks

Sounds like you have the wrong region code to play on your laptop

Download this excellent little media player which will play things others won't

More than likely it will play using this software
