Hello... is there anyway i can get a free dvd decoder. I have a pioneer dvd-rw dvr-111d but i cant play dvds.. i downloaded a free trial of interwin dvd and i could play dvds but only for 14 days... where can i get a dvd decoder for free as im not willing to shell out any money... i expected the decoder to come free with teh dvd player... thanks in advance for any replies :)

You can get a Windows Media Player Classic that includes a DVD decoder here. http://www.afterdawn.com/software/v... I have tried it and it works well. Stuart
