    Some movies come with DVD Player Programs (Intervideo).

    I would download ZPL its only 1. something MB and plays every format you can think of "AVI, DIVX, XVID, MPEG, Flac Audio, Monkey Audio, Matroska, Windows Media, OGM, RealMedia, QuickTime, Flash and more" This link is to the CNET site http://www.download.com/Zoom-Player-Standard/3000-2139_4-10345000.html?tag=lst-6-1

    If this player doesn't work then you may have a Driver/Hardware conflict

    Good Luck
