What software are you going to use to play DVD's?.. As usually the decoder comes with the software..

A free version which I use to play it is 'Media Player Classic', then install the decoder/codec, (or visa versa..)..

I guess you have tried WMP?



..Edit:..On Google there are quite a few useful results, so worth trying.

**Also Check this out "PowerDVD 5" - £3.50! Great price, for some great software, especially if you can't find a better free version.

I use the nVidia decoders myself.

yeah i tried the nVidia ones, but to even get the free trial i need a product key and they want the last four digits of my credit card...
