How to Play DVD Movies on Zoom Player Smoothly?

Q: "I have been trying to get my Zoom Player to play DVD's once they are inserted into my CD/DVD drive. Problem is, when I go to Start >Default Programs > Change Auto Play Settings, and I select the arrow to choose a program under DVD movie, Zoom Player isn't listed as one of the media player options to choose from. Any solutions?"

Zoom Player has grown into the most solid and diverse Media Playback suites on the market today. It works in two modes. A Media mode which can play any file supported by DirectShow (any file which plays in Windows Media Player) and a DVD mode which uses pre-installed DirectShow DVD filters to play DVD content. However, DVD structures are complicated, especially some new DVDs which are protected by the advanced DVD copy protection, Zoom Player can't read all the DVDs. Don't worry, we'll share the solid solution to help you play DVD movies on Zoom Player smoothly.
