  • I Had the Same Problem, Again, Recently and the K-Lite Codec Pack Didn't Work for Me Either
    I had the same problem, again, recently and the k-lite codec pack didn't work for me either. I am running Windows 7, and got my DVD's working with Neuroguide by downloading the codecs from http://www.windows7codecs.com/ I went there and found that they also offer a Windows 8 package at http://www.windows8codecs.com/ You may want to try that. -- Jim Friess Sorry to be late in posting about DVDFab. There is a free version which I find excellent. I copy all DVDs (often double density DVDs are needed), and never have difficulty. The copy only includes the movie so there is no ploughing through warnings and adverts. The copy works equally well with Neuroguide and Brainmaster DVD players. Google “DVDfab free” to find it. Atholl Today at 12:40 PM Hi, Here are a set of instructions that completely fixed my problem. This is compiled from several previous threads, mostly from Nick Dogris. I have included links, and several folks have had their problems resolved using the steps below. Hope it helps: 1. Upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 8.1 … This link will give you all the details. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/upgrade-assistant- download-online-faq ($119.99) and Windows 8.1 Pro (199.99). This link shows you a comparison of the features in each…http://windows.microsoft.com/en- us/windows/compare. Note: 8.1 Pro does not come with Windows Media Center, you still have to buy the “8.1 Pro Pack” detailed in #2 below.
