After buying windowsXp, a dvd Player, a dvd...I'm not about to buy anything to play the bastad. So what do you guys use to play dvds on your pc? Something free mind you. The below is 3 of the better apps I've found after a little bit of searching, but I'm sure there is a better I've yet to find.


EiloThek Shareware:

* Automatic aspect ratio
* Audio stream selection
* Selection of available subtitles

* ect ect...

ShowShifter Freeware: Early versions anyway

edit: Not real "up to date" with all this, but I would like Windows Media to play it...everything I'm reading though requires you to buy something for it to work through Windows Media.

Not without some sort of DVD decoder, which is always third-party, nad they all cost money. But thats because WMP sucks ass.

why don't you just warez the sh*t like every other cheap f*ck on these boards? hm?

whatever you wind up doing, PowerDVD is still the ultimate, imo. worth every penny.

:lol:

I try and not warez to much stuff...so when I can I try and get the free stuff. So, this powerdvd thing...is it a seprate app or will it play dvds through WMP.

We all understand your love for Microsoft products, and like every other person that acts like you it is neither needed, or helpful here. You don't like them, ok...A lot of people don't. I don't like some of stuff they do, but after I turned ten I stopped posting on msg boards about how the most popular and most used OS sucked bawls and how it was totally useless.

Fucking grow up and accept the fact that Bill owns your ass on a daily basis kid.

Hmm, did I say Windows Sucks ass? No, as that would be foolish when I have a machine with XP on it that I use daily. I did say WMP sucks, and thats fact, since you can get media players with much more in the way of features, decoder support, and less bloat for the same price (free) So, in short, fuck off dork[e]

And many others (myself included) have no problem with WM10 and find that it does all we require.

On another note would you two quit snivelling?! I don't feel editing posts constantly so attack the idea, not the person.

And it plays DVDs quite well I've found.

Precisely. Not going to name any here, as I don't know the legality attached to them, but there is a PM button.
