My brother in law is looking for a free DVD decoder/viewer for his computer. I reminded him that Windows comes with Media Player. I don't know what else is out there, anyy suggestions?

Thanks. Being the guy he is, I think he is looking for freeware though. Still don't understand why he doesn't use Windows Media Player.

Does he want to watch a DVD thats in his DVD-ROM drive? If so, WMP wont do that.

One option I can think of is using a program called dvddecrypter, and copy the dvd to his hard drive. That removes the encryption, allowing it to be played with WMP.

Confused... I watch DVD's on my PC using WMP all the time.
