What do you use to watch DVDs

[f1y]

I just got my first DVD type drive.. before I starting ripping and burning... what dvd encoder player is good just to watch a DVD. And whats a good program to copy it to my harddrive?

I use Zoomplayer which can be found here using ffdshow codecs here while using WinDVD's video codec through ffdshow.

You can find a guide here to help you get it all arranged.

what about ripping?

I watch them in WMP10...:Q

I use DVD Shrink for backup purposes, though sometimes I use DVD Decrypter when watching movies that don't match my drive's own region.

I use a dvd player hooked up to a TV. Previously I thought this was what most people did.

You've never watched a DVD on a PC?

I use the Purevideo codec. I play DVDs using WMP10 or Nstantmedia.
