hi, i have been searching the web for days now and i cant figure this out.
i cant seem to get my External USB Optical Disk Drive to work. i would plug it into my inspiron mini, and it opens up interactual player. witch shows the movie title but says that it cant play it. it works for CD's with itunes and stuff like that but not with DVD's. please help me. thanks a ton,
dvd's require a codec in order to play. you might have to download a dvd codec pack. k-lite is a free one and it has it's own player. you can download it from filehippo.com
yeh, windows gives you a nice player but no way to use it. k-lite has its own player but as you're installing it you can associate the codec with windows media player. that way you have 2 players to use. there's other ones out there. realplayer is one and that allows you to download tube movies from the internet. like youtube movies or any streaming movies.

Thanks for your instruction! It's good for reference, Now I understand more about it.

Which external drive do you have? What is the OS? Are you sure it is a DVD drive?
