309744 2005-01-02 06:54:00 I have just ressurected a DVD-Rom from an old machine and installed it in my backup machine, a PIII with 98SE OS. It works fine with music CD and programme CD but I believe I need some software to allow it to show DVD movies onscreen. Does anyone know a site for downloading such shareware/freeware or if necessary a suitable trial version of a bought programme?Tried the Ulead site but it wouldn't connect as the page was down.
Awaiting with eager anticipation. As this is my first posting this year, may I take this opportunity to wish all the forum members a prosperous and grumpy-less New Year.
Cheers,
Ken

309745 2005-01-02 06:59:00 PowerDVD has a try free option. I am sure there are others out there though Obelix (752)
309746 2005-01-02 06:59:00 MS provide free plugins to give Media player the ability to playback DVD's,I wouldn't be surprised if WMP10 can do it natively.

You could also aquire the klite codec pack which incluse a DVD codec.

And there is a windows version of a Linux app that does the trick as well.....

309747 2005-01-02 07:00:00 You could try powerdvd www.gocyberlink

Windvd http://www.intervideo.com

Altho, these are both shareware/trials, and most probably limited to so many minutes of sound or video.

Or Videolan http://www.videolan.org I think plays most things, and is free.
