Playing a DVD Movie

If you have a DVD drive and decoder hardware or software on your computer, you can play DVD movies with Windows Media Player. The decoder allows Windows Media Player to view the content on the DVD. If you don't have a decoder, you can purchase one from a third party manufacturer. When you play a DVD movie, a list of titles appear with a section of content from the movie. You can use the titles to browse through the contents of the DVD.
