Have a look: http://www.afterdawn.com/software/video_software/video_players/

thanks for the help

but the programs were limited trials or they lacked the necessary codecs.

Is it possible to find a free codec/decoder to allow windows media player to play dvd's? (that's what i was originally trying to do before i downloaded a trial of powerdvd)

The codecs required to playback DVDs must be licensed so anything that includes said codec will be a paid-for program.

On the upside the basic versions of both PowerDVD and WinDVD can be had for under $10 on ebay

thanks for your help.

i think buying powerdvd over ebay is the easiest solution.

Thanks again for the help.

Also the versions on eBay are OEM software.
