As the title hints, I am having a problem. Ever since I got a new HDD, Windows Media Player will not play dvds, it says I need to buy an encoder. So, does anyone know how to solve this?

I would use the VLC Media Player. It's free and its really good. Plus you can rip an entire DVD, but I'm not sure about taking the sound off, but maybe though.

I have VLC, But, I am not going to go into why I dont want to use it.
What could I use to rip off the dvd then?

To play DVD's, if you don't like VLC, download the
KLite Codec pack. As for the audio, I don't really know

Once you're able to get the DVD's to play, you can try recording its audio straight off from your computer:

While I believe it is somewhat acceptable to record another game's sound externally (Recording the sound with a... recorder pressed against the speakers) , ripping the actually audio from the disc is illegal to my knowledge.
