It is also region free which most of the other aren't. I can't imagine french students only playing region 1 encoded DVDs can you. www.videolan.org _________________________ ========================== the chewtoy for the dog of Life

ZP is a front-end UI that will use just about any of the available DirectX filters...ie it doesn't include codecs of it's own. But it is without doubt the most flexible UI there is. And free. _________________________ Mk2a 60GB Blue. Serial 030102962 sig.mp3: File Format not Valid.

I eventually found some DVD player on my system that works fine and does what I need to do, which is play DVDs. It had a very slight cliping of the sound, but I think that may have been do to me trying to open the ATI DVD player earlier and having it never open. I'll try it again and see if it's smoother. I need a new video card... _________________________ Matt
