This capability is available for Home Premium, Ultimate and Enterprise only. Last but not least, Windows Media Player may be unable to play DVDs that are copy-protected and region-locked.

Users need to turn to a solid DVD decrypter software to convert DVD to Windows Media Player. In this way, they can not only play DVD content in Windows Media Player, but also organize movie collection in an easier way.
