DVD Software for laptop

Speculator · 2010-04-07 19:22:59

Hi folks, Tried to play a DVD on my laptop yesterday but got a message telling me that I did not have software to play the DVD. Can I download this software from the net or do I have to purchase it from a PC store? Any idea how much it costs?

A 'regular' DVD, like a movie from Xtravision? Or a movie downloaded off t'internet? Either way, something like MediaPlayerClassic or VLC, combined with KLite Codec Pack, should sort you out. Google them, I'm too lazy to make links !

+1 for VLC, is fine on its own for commercial dvd's.
