Watching DVDs on computer

[newty]

I was wondering if anyone knows any free software that would enable me to watch DVD movies on my computer. I have WinDVD that came with the purchase of my current laptop. I cannot install this software on my desktop because it is a non-HP computer. So, are there any free DVD players out there?

Windows media player should do it.

you can get loads do a search but realplayer should play them.

i will be astounded if your computer does not already have something

Make sure that Windows Media Player has updated the correct Codec.

i just did this last week so i can watch movies here and i used power dvd 6 and it works great if you were closer you could use it but good luck i am about to go watch gridiron gang here

I highly highly recommend VLC player. It literally plays every video format I've come across and the best thing is no more downloading codecs. Ever. It's great.

Hey I use the VLC player too but only for watching broadcast TV at work (IPTV).

WinDVD should work on any computer,if you are familiar with that program just install on desktop if you have disk.
