Windows 98 cannot play DVD??? - VRForums - SITEX 2009

Hi all,

My computer is running on Win's 98. Recently, I bought a Benq 1650V DVD-ROM. After installing, I can play DVD. There is sound but no image/picture.

I had tried uninstall & install again, searches many sites for help but to no avail.

Can anyone help.

Thanks a lot.

Hi Macdy,

I did but still cannot.

Do you know how to play DVD with Windows Media Player? What software do I need to download?

Thanks,

sometimes u just need to install and update Windows Media Player. but for this case, best method is use another program.

it's called VLC.

Hi Maxdy,

Can play DVD by VLC but picture move in part & part. However, sound is ok.

Nevermind, thanks a lot.

Probably its missing codec. Try DivX player. Download it from downloads.com or try to downlaod WMP 10. See if it works. Sorry i not using Win 98 so I don't know the best solution for you.

Hi Static X. Long time no see...

dvds does not need any codecs to play them. they're uncompressed video format. probably you need a realiable dvd player like WinDVD or PowerDVD.
