Now almost 1 billion people use Windows 10. And we think Windows 10 is a great operating system and it continues to get better. But most new Windows 10 users are disappointed when they find out that Windows 10 does not play DVDs. While Microsoft does offer a DVD Playback option ($15), it&#8217;s not free and it&#8217;s not very good. It seems to be plagued with problems. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">We have a better option for playing DVDs in Windows 10 and it&#8217;s free. We use and recommend VLC Media Player. VLC Media Player supports a wide range of video and audio formats including MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, DivX, MP3, MP4, OGG and does not require downloading additional codecs to play most media formats.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">According to VideoLAN&#8217;s VLC Media Player website, VLC Media Player can play the following formats:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">MPEG-1\/2, DivX\u00ae (1\/2\/3\/4\/5\/6), MPEG-4 ASP, XviD, 3ivX D4, H.261, H.263 \/ H.263i, H.264 \/ MPEG-4 AVC, Cinepak, Theora, Dirac \/ VC-2, MJPEG (A\/B), WMV 1\/2, WMV 3 \/ WMV-9 \/ VC-1, Sorenson 1\/3, DV, On2 VP3\/VP5\/VP6, Indeo Video v3 (IV32), Real Video (1\/2\/3\/4).MPEG Layer 1\/2, MP3 &#8211; MPEG Layer 3, AAC &#8211; MPEG-4 part3, Vorbis, AC3 &#8211; A\/52, E-AC-3, MLP \/ TrueHD&gt;3, DTS, WMA 1\/2, WMA 3, FLAC, ALAC, Speex, Musepack \/ MPC, ATRAC 3, Wavpack, Mod, TrueAudio, APE, Real Audio, Alaw\/\u00b5law, AMR (3GPP), MIDI, LPCM, ADPCM, QCELP, DV Audio, QDM2\/QDMC, MACE. DVD.. and more.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">And VLC Media Player has a lot of great features including filters, effects, playlist, video snapshots, visualizations and more &#8211; all in a very simple user interface.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline; font-size: 14pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.snapfiles.com\/downloads\/videolan\/dlvideolan.html\">You can download VLC Media Player from here.<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><em>If you&#8217;re not sure if you have a 64-bit system or not, download the regular version as it works on both 32-bit and 64-bit systems.
