DVD Decoder

[Miles.]

Can anyone help me find a DVD decoder that I don't have to pay for?

I've tried Google, and other search engines and can't find ****.

What does that do? I read it but I thought the topic poster wanted something so he could play foreign DVDs?

DVD Shrink is software to backup DVD discs. You can use this software in conjunction with DVD burning software of your choice, to make a backup copy of any DVD video disc.

DVD Shrink will also burn your backup DVD, if you have installed the latest version of Nero. You can download a demo version of Nero here. If you already possess alternative burning software and prefer to stick with it, then you can still use DVD Shrink. The output from DVD Shrink can be saved as files on your hard drive, which you can then burn with software of your choice.

DVD Shrink is free software. You should never pay for DVD Shrink.

I've looked at the DVDShrink program. I don't necessarily want to rip the DVDs onto my hard drive.

Here it goes:
I have a DVD drive, and before I reformatted my hard drive (you guessed it, German **** ;) ) I could play DVDs.

Now, I throw in a DVD, and the player shows an error and tells me I need a DVD "decoder."

Thanks for your concern, gentleman.
