I use PowerDVD. IMAO it's the best software DVD player on the market.

Any free ones out there?

I like PowerDVD. It has everything I need.

But since you're looking for a free one and you're using win2k, you can use the free one included in win2k. Run C:\WINNT\System32\dvdplay.exe. I don't think you need a decoder, but if you do just download the demo player from windvd or powerdvd but use dvdplay.exe and it should work.

I also vote for PowerDVD, but it isn't free.

PowerDVD is one of those increasingly rare programs that is actually worth the money.

Yes...
InterActual Player

But, remember you usually get what you pay for! 🙂

I use Leadtek's bundled player that came with my video card.

Also you can Windows Media player and it can play DVDs just fine.

WMP only plays DVD's if you have a decoder installed. It will not play DVD's "out of the box".
