DVD software
Hey guys,
Due to a recent reformat I have lost some of my software that I no longer have access to.
One of these was a DVD Player.
I was using PowerDVD and loved the program. Do you guys have any recommendations? $ is a little bit of a concern so I can't be spending too much. Freeware is welcome
Let me know what programs have worked for you guys!

personally i like windvd better then powerdvd, using version 6 right now, has a lot of cool features (such as still capture, more rare then you think)
windows media player really isn't the greatest dvd player, but it does get the job done

I know this is an old thread, but I have a related question. My company just handed out laptops to the field guys (and girls) which include DVD players. The software is InterVideo WinDVD 4. From my VERY limited experience with computer DVD players, the program is OK except for the fact that I have to turn the volume on the software and the computer all the way up in order to barely hear it. The sound on the computer works fine in any other application. Is this a typical problem with this version? Do I just need to upgrade? I'll be using the player alot at work so I'm not above buying some decent software - any ideas.

BTT.
I just pulled a DVD ROM out of my wife PC to put into my kids PC since their CD gave up the ghost. I wanted them to be able to watch DVD's but soon discovered there wasn't anything to play them with installed
I read in this thread that it was possible to get plug ins for Win Media Player, so I went into WMP -> Plug-Ins and was taken to the MS site. I recognized the Intervideo plugin (I have the full version on my laptop - came with it) I like this program, so thought that would be a good plugin. I download it and install.
Best feature is that it comes with a mini DVD player which is what I wanted all along. Set that up for my kids and now one is enjoying a movie. I love it that they are enamored with headphones!
Thanks for this thread!
