Well, I'm not stealing it :)

We're going to put it on my system since she never uses it and I have a nice self-built setup than her. Now what software would you guys recommend for viewing DVDs on my Win2K machine?

This will be my first time delving into the whole DVD thang :) Thanks guys and gals!

She has a cdrw and I'm going to throw into her system a CDRom drive as a replacement.

She always asking me to get a TV for my small studio since she literally spend all of her time there, which is cool w/ me :)

So I figure we can watch some movies on my puter.

WinDVD works fine w/out decoder card.

Do you know that 12X DVD cost around $50 shipped nowaday? Of course, you already knew those meal you bought her cost more than that...;)

I like WinDVD 2000 from www.intervideo.com. The other popular player is PowerDVD 3 from www.cyberlink.com.

While I prefer WinDVD, you can apperntly get an OEM copy of PowerDVD for $5+shipping. So that's probably the better choice. Not sure wehre you get the $5 PowerDVD though, it's not from their site.
