best 'free' dvd program

windows media player needs to have a DVD program installed to play dvds i think.


Fusion media player might play dvds
 
Windows media (if it's configured juuusstt right), otherwise you can get either PowerDVD or WinDVD for pretty cheap at CSFO.

of the two, I think PowerDVD is better.

VLC is cool, but I use Xine (linux app, the other biggy is Mplayer for linux).


The cool thing about VLC is that you can use it to set up a simple media stream for people to watch/listen over a network/internet. It's the client side (even though it can do simple serving) for the VLS (video lan server.). Have clients and server versions for windows/OS X/Linux among others.


Good stuff and completely free.

Why?

I use both on different machines. The current PowerDVD 5 takes up 16 MB of space and Intervideo Platinum 5 takes up twice as much at 31 MB! Performance-wise, I can't tell a difference using Nvidia 4200 cards and 19" Trinitrons. I tend to lean towards PowerDVD because it takes up less space.


However unpopular it is ...I always install it ...the free Real Player does a good job playing DVDs.
