What is it that you want this "DVD decoder driver" to do? Rip DVDs to
disk? Play back DVDs by itself? Play back DVDs in some other program? Or
is it something else entirely?

Please answer above your signature. It looks like you have sent an empty
post otherwise.

What you want is an mpeg 2 decoder. This is the compression used by DVD
video.

If you have PowerDVD, Nero burning ROM which can create DVD video discs or
any other DVD player or DVD disc creator, (usually bundled with new DVD
drives), then chances are these programs have installed a DVD decoder on
your system.

Did you uninstall any program that can create DVDs or view them on your PC?

In any case, try searching for OpenSource MPEG2 Video Decoder. This will
probably work for you.
