i looked and looked around the m$ and all i came up with is that you can get the codec with 3rd party software. of course that is what you are trying to avoid.

started looking around for free players and this is the best i could come up with. maybe you can get the codec from that.

hope this helps and i will keep searching for ya

I use WinDVD, so I don't know if this will work. There's a codec pack that you could download and it has almost any codec you could think of. It's called Nimo Codec Pack and it's recommended by almost everyone at VCDHelp. See if that'll work.

I don't have any personal experience with DVD players in XP, but I did come up with a couple of MSKB articles that might be of some help to you...
