[pchelpers] Re: dvd decoder

Do you have DVD playing software installed, such as PowerDVD?  If so,
try opening PowerDVD software first, then browsing to your DVD drive and
opening the DVD that way.

If you don't have DVD playing software installed, you might try a few
free ones, such as VideoLAN:  http://www.videolan.org/   

VideoLAN plays just about anything.  I only use it when nothing else
will work as previous versions were not very stable (the newest version
supposedly fixed many bugs, however).  Again, you may have to browse to
your DVD folder if the movie doesn't automatically start in VideoLAN.
