Need DVD Decoder/Player

[DogSoldier]

I just installed a Sony DVD IDE drive I got for x-mas.. hehe. I installed the program that came on the CD - PowerDVD - but it crashes all over the place, so I gave up on trying to get it to work. MediaPlayer 9 evidently doesn't recognize DVDs, so I'm looking for a DVD Decoder/Player. Any recomendations?

Methinks you have underlying issues, as Cyberlink's PowerDVD is a bit of hugely popular program.

That said, you could give WinDVD a whirl.

or you could download Codec Pack All, which after u install, WMP will beable to play DVD.

I installed WinDVD and it works great.. I have Return of the King and damned if it doesn't look better on my monitor than on the TV, this is fantastic! Thanks guys.

I also had trouble with PowerDVD. it worked, but it wouldn't let me FF or REW...
