I understand that Media player shipped with Vista has its own mpeg2 decoder
enabling the playing of dvd movies. I get the message that no suitable dvd decoder is installed. Am I missing something? Vista build 5384 AMD64 3000+ 1GB ram 256mb asus nvidia n6600 graphics |

The reason for this behavior is that the "trial period" on MPEG-2 codecs
needed for MCE/DVD playback/burn has expired around 8/31 in Vista Beta 2. Using RC1 is the right solution for now. The codecs in final Vista release would not have such an expiration.

No problemo-
off topic-but they did the same thing with Defender in XP- the beta was done Dec 31st, and it'll error out if you try and run it, have to uninstall,and get the final-lol not a peep from MSFT; at first; saw it on their website I think though-but in the meantime;had at least 15 calls from customers, saying Defender was broke in XP LOL Jeff "Technology Guy" wrote in message ...
