ZoomPlayer used to have a free front end.

Don't know if it is still available though.

I believe you're still gonna have to get the Mpeg 2 codec somewhere
for WMP to play DVD or SVCD.......
It comes w/ players like WinDVD.....don't know if there is a free
Mpeg 2 codec ? May be one ?

Did you hear the one about the dyslexic, agnostic, insomniac?

Just to clarify my earlier post....Media Player Classic has it's own
decoder...but you'll be able to use ONLY MPC to play DVD's...which isn't a
bad thing..it works very well.
Fusion Soft also has it's own decoder....it's a good player......and you can
also use WMP..Real Player..Jet Audio...for example, as well...they'll use
that decoder.
Get 'em both.

Not with MPC, it has a built in MPEG2 and AC3 decoders.

Sounds great, Fran !
Especially if the built in decoders could be used w/ other multimedia
programs as well. If so, it would be worth the download just for the
decoders alone.. :)

Look up Media Player Classic. It's my favorite by far, and I think you'll
like it too.

from my experience, it ain't easy. I am trying to find something that
will okay with a 900mhz/192MB RAM Windows 2000 system.

VLC - Almost works. The audio lags the video badly on the system I'm
using. VLC works okay on higher end systems.

Media Player Classic - A joke. It won't work unless you've already got
something else that works.

Fusion - I have a cdrom and a dvd in the system. This kept wanting the
cdrom. Couldn't get it to work.

BTW: you have to be very careful here. A lot of so-called dvd player
freeware is loaded with adware/spyware.
