Title: OpenSource (free) DVD playback software???
Post by: Tongy on September 12, 2006, 19:10:30 PM
Anyone know of any opensource (that works on XP) DVD playback software. I know PowerDVD is cheap as anything but I need it quicker than a spplier can shup it.

Did the last time I installed it for somebody. Or at least I dont remember having to install a codec. :lol: Tested with a Region one disc from the rental place. Worked dandy.
