Answer 2

You can watch DVDs on Windows Media Player, you know. Also, there should be a program called PowerDVD that came with your system.

I use my Windows Media Player that came installed on my computer. Basically, all computers come with Windows Media Player installed on it...if you're using Windows operating system.

I watch DVD's on my Windows Media Player and listen to mp3's on it all the time perfectly.

Answer 4

You can use Media Center (already installed if you run windows), but you'll need a DVD decoder plug-in and I think they charge for those. Check them out here:

Or you can use DSPlayer, free and available here:

Most DVD players for computers are also sold with a decoder, so if you installed it yourself or you bought the PC with a DVD player, one should be included. It may be MediaPlayer plus one of the DVD decoder add-ons, if you are running Windows. Not free, because you already paid for it with the cost of your PC, but same effect.

Answer 5

VLC media player is free and will play dvds
