Windows Me - Enjoy DVDs with the Media Player

November 29, 2013
Updated: April 14, 2022
Quick overview:

Der herkömmliche Windows Media Player spielt alle Formen von Audio und Videodateien ab, doch auf eine ganz wichtige Quelle lässt sich nicht zugreifen: Die DVD. Es ist auf herkömmlichem Wege unmöglich mit dem Player DVD-Videos anzusehen, weshalb man tief ins Windows Herz eingreifen muss:

1. Click on Run in the Start menu. A dialog will appear in which you enter regedit.

2. Hangeln Sie sich durch die folgenden Zweige derWindows Registrierung: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\Player\Settings. Klicken Sie mit der rechten Maustaste ins rechte Teilfenster und wählen Sie Neu/Zeichenfolge. Diesen selbsterstellten Wert taufen Sie auf den Namen EnableDVDUI.

3. Now double-click on it and enter a Yes. You now have a new function called Open DVD. From this moment on you are allowed to enjoy DVD movies with the Media Player. It is important to note that this trick only works if you already have a software DVD player (and do not want to use it) and if you have downloaded Media Player 6.4.

NOTE FOR NEW PUBLICATION:This article was produced by Sandro Villinger and comes from the Windows Tweaks archive, which has been built up since the late 1990s.

Founded Windows Tweaks as a teenager in the 90s. His helpful PC tricks made it Germany's most visited Windows site (at the time Sandro looked like this). He then went on to write elsewhere, for example for PC-Praxis, Computer Bild and PCWorld in the USA. Microsoft also poached him from us. Now Sandro is back, finally sharing his tweaks here again. For a stress-free digital everyday life. You can reach Sandro via e-mail.
