Because its still beta and its generally not a good idea to advise random people to use beta software.

I'm using WMP11 and it doesn't say "BETA" anywhere, not even the installer. There would have been something tellingme it was beta right?

Many programs will play DVDs. I mainly use VLC as it seems to have codecs for EVEYTHING lol. VOB files can be played in any media player, but you must select the right one (some contain menus and extras).

You don't need AnyDVD to play a DVD. It is used to break the encryption on the DVD so you can rip it.

There are a few decoders out there that will allow you to play a DVD. They are included in the Klite Mega Codec Pack. Though I don't want you to download a huge pack like that just to play a movie. Google it or use MPC/VLC.

A DVD decoder use to play movies doesn't get rid of the copy protections, mearly it just allows you to play it.

I used to have a DVD drive, and it played them just fine, but a bit back I got myself a Lite-On DVD burner, and it wouldn't play DVDs.  I grabbed AnyDVD, and it played them just fine all of a sudden.  Though when I upgraded the firmware, it started playing DVDs just fine without AnyDVD.

(This might be one of the many random glitches that I often get that no one else does, or has ever even heard of happening)

ShawnZ, my copy wasn't exactly downloaded from their site ;) I can't find anywhere on the PROGRAM to suggest it's a BETA.
