    DVD’s won’t play ??
    « on: March 22, 2019, 12:17:56 AM »
    I have a Windows 8.1 laptop that won’t play my DVD’s. I keep getting a Error Code that reads. See attached. I tried the solution mentioned. But it didn’t work: here is the message.

    Error PL4013: Playback failed due to a problem with the video subsystem. You may be using an unsupported display mode or your system may not have a working decoder installed. Please ensure that your DVD decoder is functioning properly by launching it from Start | Programs.





    Thank you 🙏

    Download the FREE VLC Player and play the DVD through that and the problem should be fixed.

    Dave's option is the way to go. Windows 8 and 8.1 dropped built-in DVD support.
    I was trying to dereference Null Pointers before it was cool.
