DVD playback codec thinger?
Does anyone have a link to a free codec for DVD playback? I just want to watch DVDs on my desktop, and so far everything I've tried has either failed, or asked for money.
I don't really know much about media software, I just want something simple that lets me watch my movies, and I definitely don't want to have to pay for it. Is that so much to ask? |

VLC can play just about everything out there, give that a try. its free, multi platform, but a bit complex. |
Yeah vlc is very good. No need for any codec packs, it just works out of the box.
|
It works!
Thanks a lot guys, I can watch movies again. : ) |
np, it's a wonderful program.
|
It's also illegal to use in the United States, thanks to the Digital Millenium Copyright Act. Complain to your representive today.
|
fair use still trumps it, today at least.

If anyone needs codec files to encode/decode actual multimedia content, a collection of them have ended up here. http://www.free-codecs.com/ . Be aware that while I have had great success with this package for more than a year, YMMV.
