For Windows 7 N or KN editions, get the Media Feature Pack. Included in Windows 7 Starter, Home Premium, Professional, Ultimate, and Enterprise editions.

It is also interesting that the next version of Windows Media Player, the one shipping with Windows 8, won't support DVD playback anymore like version 12 does.Windows Media Player is available for Windows-based devices. What's however available for WMP 12 are skin, plug-in and visualizations that one can download from the Microsoft website for the media player. Windows 7 users therefore do not need to download the latest version of the player anymore. It needs to be noted that Windows Media Player 12 is only available for Windows 7, and that the software ships with the operating system by default.
Update:Â Windows Media Player 11 is still available on the linked website for Windows XP users who can't use the latest version of the player as it is no longer compatible with the operating system. I would not rely on Media Player but suggest you take a look at incredible alternatives that are faster and better, VLC comes to my mind. (lots of synchronizing errors, playback errors and the like). If you run into troubles you can take a look at the readme for Windows Media Player 11 for XP which contains a large list of known issues. I have not installed it at my home computer, there could be a second check during the installation of the tool. Try this download if you want to avoid the check. Please note that Microsoft might check for WGA (Windows genuine advantage) before you are able to download the file from the official website.
