Hi again

Sorry for posting a 2nd thread in here in short space of time but im reinstalling all my software now so have a few problems, basiaclly ive sold my old graphics card which had the DVD playback software I used to use on CD that went with it, my new x1800 XT doesnt have any and ive never managed to get windows media player to play DVDs (which would be the best solution) probably because of regional problems or whatever.

Can anyone recommend some good freeware DVD playback software? Thanks

power DVD 6 should do the trick.

VLC media player is used a lot, but i've had a problem with it occasionally.

I use Nvidia Purevideo Decoder and would definitely reccomend it. Excellent image quality.

How do you get DVDs to play in media player 10 then? Just comes up with an error for me and shuts down everytime.

You need an MPEG2 codec, such as the nvidia purevideo one. Once installed you can then view DVDs in WMP10.
