Where can I obtain free codecs for my WMP 10?

Question by Im2hard2please: Where can I obtain free codecs for my WMP 10?
My Windows Media Player, version 10 won’t play DVD’s. It will do most everything else. When I try to play a DVD movie, it says I don’t have the proper codec.

Where can I get the free codecs to make WMP allow me to play DVD movies?

Why would Microsoft provide a downloadable WMP 10 that doesn’t play DVD movie? Why would the codecs not be included?

Is there a website forum dedicated to WMP that used to discuss this sort of problem?
