How to Play Movies in Windows 8 RP

Hi all,

I am trying to play movie from a DVD in Windows 8 RP but nothing happens.

I tried installing Windows Media Player 11 but the program told me that it already has Windows Media Player 12


Can anyone shed any light on this please ?

Thanks.

MS are getting rid of all kinds of useful things from Win8 - dvd playback being one of them.

No point in wasting time and effort, I would just use VLC

VideoLAN - Official page for VLC media player, the Open Source video framework!

Thanks SIW2 that worked great
