==================================
An MPEG-2 Decoder is what allows your
system to *Play* a DVD. That wouldn't help
in the current situation. If you do wish to play
DVDs...the following freebie may be worth a try:

VLC media player

I would still suggest that personally...I would
download and install the K-Lite Mega Codec
Pack.

Yes...video editing is complicated. Proceed
at your own risk.
