WMP, WinDVD, PowerDVD or any other program that can play MPEG-1.

The best one I've tried so far is Radlight. With Radlight you can set the aspect ratio to "free" and it will play the 352x480 res correctly. Windows media player can't get the aspect ratio right and the video is shrunk down if you have any tv blocks overscan set ( i.e. addborders(8,8,8,8,)). WinDVD doesn't play the audio in sync because it doesn't like mpeg1 vbr audio (?i think)

I see that the latest WMP plays dvds- has anyone seen this? So if you don't have windvd or powerdvd you can use WMP to authenticate the drive before ripping the dvd.

There are other players in the tools section at vcdhelp.

I'm going to have to check out Radlight. As for WMP, it has an almost quasi-spyware built into it. Every single time you run a DVD (or even any mpeg file it seems), it contacts a microsoft server to get "chapter information." Which I guess it can't do without first identifying what you're playing. It also stores a list on your harddrive of all the DVDs you've used WMP to play. Zoomplayer plays DVDs, so that's atleast one free alternative, and I'm sure there are a lot more.

You're right- I completely forgot about this nuisance when I posted, when playing a clip with WMP 8.0 it always goes back to small window and says something like "updating tracks" and then my firewall blocks it and i have to hit cancel. This completely sucks and I will uninstall WMP right now Back to wmp 7.1 for me.

Also be careful with Radlight it also installs a program called "weathercast" which might be adware or spyware too.

Thank you for the reality check!!

You're lucky, I'm running XP, so I can't even go back to anything earlier than 8. Fortunately it still has 6.4 on it (just type mplayer2.exe) in the Run window-- unfortunatley this doesn't play DVDs.

I think I may stick with Zoom Player after all.
