Any free to play DVD's on my Windows PC (XP)?

spcexcel

I've tried trial versions of this and that, as well as free junk that turned out not to work at prvsoft.com.

Nero seems to have turned into nothing more than a gimmick company selling software for people trying to somehow copy or rip off DVD's, it used to be a regular dvd playing software company.

So is there any truly free way, that works, to watch regular DVD's on my windows PC? I know roxio and stuff will do it for $15 or $20, but am I missing any free option that works...

thanks in advance.
No ... Windows media player does not play hollywood DVDs, unless a DVD Encoder was installed on your machine already. Even microsoft says, you have to go somewhere else and pay for it.

Gom or VLC player will play dvds on your xp. both of them are free

Can you recommend a free DVD decoder for Window's XP?

The only ones that Microsoft recommends require payment. When using a Mac interface, I can run DVDs without having to buy any software. Surely there's a way that I can do the same with Windows XP?

Answer
Just download VLC Player.

Or if you want to use only WMP, download K-Lite codecs.
