I got you covered

to view dvd's you need the proper codec.

and download the k-lite FULL pack. It will play anything that you will ever throw at windows media player.

The best actual media player is VLC player.

Why? The k-lite codec pack is awesome, it's pretty much a single click install. No problems ever.

VLC doesn't need additional codecs. The program comes packed with support for most media filetypes.
