Best low resource DVD Playback software?

[narzy]

Alright OT brotheren & sisterhood I've got a low end lappy with not enough memory that I recently installed windows XP on and I need the best low resource DVD playing software I can find. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I can't remember or not if VLC takes advantage of what ever hardware encoding that laptop has or not..

VLC worked great, thanks! 🙂

Windows Media Player?

 

[Cal166]

Windows Classic Media Player

i think he meant to say Media Player Classic, which doesn't need a separate dvd decoder
