O.P. Huh?  PC DVD players...
Hi I put a dvd in my laptop, tryed to play it on WM.....but then it said you need a plug-in.
I thought ohh..well thats easy i will just download the plug-in. It turns out you have to pay for it.

So if you know anygood free DVD players could you please post.
( I don't really want to pay :P:$)


Thanks

Well, Media Player Classic can play, if you still can't then I'll suggets downloading K-Lite Codec Pack, the full version is the only one with DVD decoders. With this you'll be able to play DVDs on your computer.

To play  DVD in Windows Media Player, you need a DVD Decoder (software). You might have gotten one free with your video card, check the bundles software.

You can play DVDs using VLC media player. You wont need a DVD decoder to play DVDs in VLC.

VLC == free software to play DVDs (and lots of other things)

PS codec packs are shit
