A DVD decoder is something like PowerDVD or WinDVD software packages.
They often come included with the software of the DVD burner you
purchased, if they come with software at all. Did your DVD burner not
come with any software? I believe both PowerDVD and WinDVD have plugins
that you can purchase to plugin to your WMP to allow it to play DVD's.
