Good Free DVD Player?

[olrac]

I recently installed a new S3 64 Mb Graphics card. It works great however, my WinDVD software does not like it and every time I try to play a dvd my system restarts. Anyways, what a good alternative program that I dont have to spend money to play my dvd's?

Yeah, Windvd chaps my a$$ too.

Microdvd and PowerDvD are good, with Powerdvd being the better of the two.

I tried that program and its fantastic! Thanks for the advice!

S3 64 MB? Are those pro cards or something?

Yes, it has the 410 chipset which is on the S3 and the Viper 2 with 64 mb.

you know, back when i was a diamond fan, i almost bought that card....unfortunately, diamond went under, and so did the viper...which was a great card...
how fast is it...
oh and something funny about dells....some guy bought a 1.9 ghz p4 system, and it has a viper 1 in it...HAHAHAHAHAHA
nice...what a way to compliment the 1.9 ghz!
muahahahaha.....and i bet the system was using pc-133 too...geeze...

hehe- same happened w/ my friend- he got a 2Ghz Dell w/ Radeon 32MB.

yeah, but at least the radeon is somewhat new...the viper is pretty damn old by todays standards...and newer games will at least play on the radeon...
but damn, it should be 64 megs, and at least a radeon 7500...

Haha! That radeon can't run ANYTHING. I can't even play Deus Ex at a playable frame rate!
