Computer DVD Player Software

[jonss]

I do not own as yet, a standalone DVD player (waiting for the industry to make up its mind) and play all of my DVD's with Power DVD which was bundled with my LDW-411S. I'm not totally unhappy with PDVD but I installed a very old copy of WinDVD and the playback seemed perceptibly smoother. However, after a while this old software could'nt hack it and I had to revert to PDVD.
My question is: What player is best ie. smoothest/most configurable? Preferably free

For a Standalone hardware PLAYER, just check out any prospective models in the DVDRhelp hardware reports - you should be able to find one that can read both + and - if you require.

Now standalone DVD RECORDERS, are still crippled by +/- indecision, the threat of other formats overtaking (eg. Blu-ray), the high prices, and that for many tasks (unless you are goung to take the recorded DVD elsewhere or kepp it indefinitely) they are outgunned by HD recorders.
