Installing video codec on Windows Media Player Vista

When I try to play a DVD , windows media player says it hasn`t got the video codec to run it. ! (not much of a "media" player.... )
I have googled and found an MPEG2 codec, that is supposed to solve the problem, but HOW do I install it, and WHERE do I install it to. so that WMP will reconise it....
I have installed VLC media player, and it works fine, but I like to have the graphic equalizer working when watching music videos, and I like the way WMP works.... (well it did with my XP, but I can`t remember that far back as to how I got it working ! ! !)

Thanks for the hint about graphic equalizer on the VLC player.... .. Do you know if you can make "playlists" on VLC? if so how?

Never actually used playlists in any music/video app so far, though. I just prefer to leave on random
Edit: You may find something useful here.
