Notice I didn't say "what's the best...............". I'm currently using WinDVD V7. I realize it is one of the more popular, if not the most popular DVD players out there, BUT I has just come to my attention everytime you start the program, it creates three cookies buried in that damn 'Documents & Settings' folder! I don't know if they are sent anywhere, but the fact is I find that unacceptable. That brings me here to ask; What DVD player software do you use and why and have you tried anything else? BTW, this is SD DVD, NOT HD/BluRay.
Mate i would have to say the best DVD player software would be whatever works for you. I personally like Cyberlink PowerDVD.
1. Most all "work", 2. I don't really want to try a dozen different programs, 3. Power DVD is a another 'hog' program (50 to 90MB), tried that and uninstalled it right away. BTW; please don't bother telling me abour how cheap large HDDs' are, that isn't the issue here. Less is better.
