    WMP11 not playing dvd

    Pentium 4, WinXP SP3
    WMP11 is causing me a problem. I burnt a DVD on a RW disc using Image Burn. WMP will not play the disc (shows little red x) but VLC Player and PowerDVD both play the the DVD . The burnt dvd was tested on Gspot which reports ‘codecs Installed’ but at the bottom of Gspot I pressed 1 and gspot displays ‘Status -..not rendered yet’ press 2 ,on 5 lines. On press 2 shows three errors 0x80040207 and two lines ‘Press 3 to play’ . When pressed 3 it shows video correctly on its test panel.
    Finally, I played the disc on another PC and WMP plays correctly. Any ideas please?

    If it was me I would go into add/remove programs and uninstall Windows Media Player 11 and then download Media Player 11 again from Microsoft Here : http://www.microsoft.com/windows/win...1/default.aspx and reinstall and see if it plays since you say it works on another computer.

    Tks rokytnji,
    Your suggestion worked, I also reinstalled Nero7. However, WMP11 is not showing subtitles while VLC displays subs perfectly, and other ideas please

    Sorry dude, as you can tell from my signature I run Linux. I use VLC and Gxine. Haven't used Windows except to run a printer that isn't Linux compatible and thats hooked up to the wifes Vista machine and I'm not allowed to touch it.LOL. Maybe somebody else with Media player 11 experiance can jump in and tell ya.
