Default [Resolved] old DVD-RW drive on new computer
I just recently built a new computer and brought my old DVD-RW (Sony DRU-830A) drive over to the computer. I don't have the installation CD that came with the burner and now I can't play DVDs. I already tried looking for the codecs on the Sony site to no avail. Is there any place where I can't get the codecs for free or will I have to call Sony?

Thanks. I installed a trial version of PowerDVD 6 and that solved the problem. I'll upgrade the firmware as well.
