PowerDVD 3.0 or WinDVD 2000. I think the retail price of either is around $50, but you can pick up an OEM copy of PowerDVD for $5 + shipping at mwave.com

I really like PowerDVD... very spiffy

bundled with Asus video cards, it works awesome for me.

I prefer PowerDVD because it was the first one to incorporate dolby headphone into it's audio options. WinDVD has it now too, so it's really a toss up for me, but I'll continue to use my PowerDVD 3.0 as it works great for me.

WinDVD - Higher quality and sound

PowerDVD - More features

So if you're only going to watch a DVD on your PC I would do neither, I would buy a Toshiba SD1700 DVD Player from your local Best Buy for $139.99 this week and watch it on your TV!
