good DVD plyer?

[hirantha]

anyone know a good DVD player i mean the software not the hardware.
i heard Nvidia got one anyone know the name? i can pay up to $29.99 anything beyond that is no use. Thanx

The Bronze NVIDIA DVD decoder is $20 and works very well. It just runs with Windows Media Player.

You can also download Media Player Classic, which is free and supports DVDs, though IMO the picture quality isn't as good.

Thanx for the reply. but is there any player that works just it self without Windows media or real players?

Believe it or not, Nero's Playtime works great! I like it better than PowerDVD. It can be obtained from Nero's website, along with the Nero suite (burning ROM)

I use MPC too. But instead of its built in DVD decoder, I use Purevideo.

(Install Purevideo and uncheck Mpeg-2 video in MPC internal filter options)

Purevideo is the best IMO. I have the platinum version with great dts decoder as well.

mplayer is the best youll get for free period.

Isn't Nero's Playtime just a rebadged PowerDVD with a different interface?
