Playing dvd on pc w/o powerdvd ??

Bacon · July 12, 2007, 17:18:18 PM

Any decent free players around, i tried one lastnight and it simply refused to play my disc, it said i needed to set the region code on the drive, the drive was already set to region 2 and the dvd i wanted to watch was region 2 so..? clueless really about that

So looking for a free alternative to power dvd

vlc.

Plays anything, with no need of any codecs or anything.

Media Player Classic, Easier to use than VLC. Comes with most "codec packs" out there.

Much love for MPC though, thanks, problem solved

VLC should work with anything. You may need to change the video output on vista.

I got xp, and vlc gave some error, i would download and install it again but i think thats a bit much

Whats wrong with media player 11? Plays DVDs fine.

I love media player 11

but unless you have windows mce it wont play dvds out of the box

also it is has a nasty habit of crashing if you confuse it even slightly

i get atleast 1 crash a day
