Windows Media Player, also known as WMP, is the default media player for Windows PC. It accepts various video and audio files as input, such as WMV, AVI, MPG, MP4 and audio CD, data CD and data DVD. However, DVD is considered an obsolete technology, and today's ultra-thin laptops and tablets have abandoned the DVD drive. Microsoft has also abandoned Windows Media Center since Windows 8.1, so there is no longer a built-in option to play DVDs from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10.
If the error "Windows Media Player cannot play the DVD because a compatible DVD decoder is not installed on your computer" is displayed on Windows Media Player, it means that the plug-in required for playing DVD (called mpeg-2 decoder) is not installed. To get rid of this error, you need a professional DVD ripper to rip DVD movies to WMV and other video formats supported by Windows Media Player.
UkeySoft DVD Ripper is specially designed to rip and convert DVDs to MP4, AVI, MOV, WMV, FLV, etc. In addition, it is not only capable of converting videos with high quality, but also supports converting DVDs to high / standard definition (HD / SD) video formats. With its help, you can directly play DVDs on Windows Media Player without installing any codec pack, DVD decoder, upgrading DVD driver, removing any 3rd party software. Therefore, if Windows Media Player cannot play DVDs, or you want to play these disc files on a range of devices, please use the following guide to rip and convert DVD files.
