DVD Software

[Brynn]

So, i have just got a new monitor, and want to watch dvd's on it. However my pc didn't come with any dvd viewing software.

Does anyone know of freeware software, I downloaded some, however it only lets me watch about 20 mins of the dvd before it closes it.

Any advice would be greatly apreciated

PowerDVD and winDVD are the main commercial players.

They are apparently worth the cost of the licence, compared to free ones... I don't own DVDs anyway, so can't comment!

Best thing is to buy a new DVD player, or DVD writer, and get the software with it, particularly if you get a non-OEM one. Chances are you'll need a better writer anyway with the dual-layer ones coming out, some you can get for under £40 easily.

Sorry to resurrect this thread but I saw this in a newsletter and thought about free DVD Player software, you can find one here.
