Neither WMP or RealPlayer have their own DVD decoder, they 'borrow' it from your software DVD player.
If that one isn't doing the job ( installed, properly configured, etc. ) then they can't either.
In short, if Nero isn't working neither can they.
I've never been sure what PC Friendly did without a previously installed set of codecs.
l tried it out years ago, like 2001, and haven't used it since.
