    Anyone Know of a Good DVD Player

    i have a dvd but no dvd player, only a laptop, windows media player refuses to play it. i tried downloading a couple of free programs but they didn't work either.

              Try VLC media player. Its open source.

                You likely need a codec. Just download one.

                      VLC is the **** for everything. The only thing it lacks is the ability to display subtitles in the black ribbon below the movie for those movies with a wider aspect ratio than my screen.

                      BSplayer (used to be great, then started to bundle spyware, clean again now) is decent also. It even can automatically get subs.

                        Yeah, I've been using VLC for several years now. It really is the best media player out there plus it's free.
