PC DVD player

by mike (from canada) . Updated 21 years, 4 months ago

I am looking for ANY DECENT DVD PLAYER that works on a low-end machine. I dont care if it is for windows 95, windows 3.1, or DOS. I want it to to be able to play DVD’s without the need for me to search endlessly for the perfect codec.

At this moment, I am using Elecard’s DVD decoder package. It is the fastest package so far, but it is not able to decode the video completely Instead, I see random (character size) multi-color squares in the picture. The software that came with the DVD-ROM drive worked the same way with speed reduction. That software is Cyberlink’s PowerDVD. I have tried DOS DVDROAST, but it was not able to show a single picture in a reasonable amount of time.

Please help me solve this problem. I want to start watching DVD’s on my computer without buying additional components, and Yes, I do have a DVD player and my country settings are correct.
