Download a DVD Decoder to play DVD Movies
on your PC
What is a DVD Decoder?
A: It is a piece of software that allows
playback of DVD Movies on a PC or MAC.
Most commonly used within Windows Media
Player for Windows XP and Vista. By default WMP
does not contain a Decoder, thus the
plugin must be used for DVD playback. A decoder will not copy DVD's only play them. Look for DVD Copying here.
Benefits of a Decoder Plugin over
traditional DVD
Player Software:
- full-screen
video playback controls
- easy-to-navigate
DVD chapter listings, and integrated
cover art,
- chapter listings, actor
and director credits
- watching
on the plane, in the dorm, at
home, or in the office.
When you need a software decoder?
On machines that utilize a 600+ MHz processor
such as a Pentium II, Pentium III , Pentium
4, AMD Athlon, etc... you should use a
software decoder over a hardware device.
The software costs way less then hardware
and it gives better playback, mainly for
on-the-go.
