computer dvd problem  

nice one modstar! I was coming in to respond to this to say get klite media player classic, al the codecs necessary to play loads of file types.

Alice

Thanks alice! I'm glad you know about it too! Who would have thought that it's just a plugin for Kazaa.

Thanks...to Modstar and Alice..I installed k lite codec pack and now its working fine...Is there an option to increase or amplify the volume to 400 as in VLC?

Ya I installed vlc...I got it all playing right....But after some time a black screen comes up....Some 'vlc hardware'...something like that...Is that an error?

What are the other substitutes for vlc?

You can try some Free players at "http://www.filehippo.com/software/multimedia" for example:

Bsplayer
Gomplayer
Kmplayer
mediaplayer classic
quicktime alternative
etc.

Lot of this players have the most popular codecs built-in.

oh!!! thanks ....that provide a lot of info...

Can we install vlc in ubuntu?

Of course!
Search it at synaptic packages or download it from the author pages:
http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-ubuntu.html

thanks...But one of my friends told that we can do it via the command sudo apt-get install vlc command..Will the version be bad?

Check the author pages that i wrote in last comment, there explain how to install with sudo command ;-)

woow!!! that explains it all
