DVD decoder software needed

Title pretty much says it all.

I want to play DVD's on XP, but my NEC DVD combi did not come with software (other than Nero), and I can't find anything on the manufacturers website.

Has anyone got a link to free decoding software that is also compatible with media player 10?

I thought Windows Media Player 10 played DVDs anyway?

Can't confirm though cos I have WinDVD.

I don't believe it comes with an mpeg2 decoder.

Hi
Videolan is excellent, plays a lot more files than media player 10. But if you want to play them throught this, you will need codecs.

Hope this helps
