Maybe something is really f***ed up with the codecs in your system. Unfortunately, I don't know how to clean your system from all codecs, so you can start on clean. This is why I never installed codecs on windows and using a program with all codecs integrated into the player.
As I said before, I use PotPlayer for all videos and Mirillis Splash Lite (both free and all codecs integrated) for HD videos.
Sometime I use VLC player if both fails and for playing ISO files.

sounds like you have some sort of conflicting code package. i myself only use bsplayer and i have never installed any add on codecs.

maybe check to see what codecs you have installed and remove them all and start from fresh.

you could also try this

have you checked if you have the correct drivers for the optical drive itself? win7 requires different drivers compared to win xp.
If the optical drive is a bit older it could be a driver problem.

Since Windows 7 I never install any drivers, all drivers are into the Windows or in Windows Update. I didn't install video driver for my NVidia card and I don't have problems with any video or DVD.
But, Rafal, you can check your video driver and if there is some problems and you can try to download the latest one and install it.

I read somewhere that dvd support is not the same on the different windows 7 versions.
This page shows the differences: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_7_editions
The starter / home basic editions don't have built in mpeg decoders.

Exactly, I think that's the problem. Unfortunately I still haven't found the solution :( Do you guys know of any good mpeg codecs that I could use?
