Is there any sort of free software that would allow for DVD's to be watched from a laptop? Can anyone give any advice whatsoever on the matter??

Thanks...!

VLC Player gets my vote.

No messing about with various codecs

Thanks very much for that. Has been passed on and he'd managed to download one of them succesfully (not sure which one)!!

Thanks again. :D

(Redundant i guess now, but...)

A second vote for VLC here too.

VLC gets my vote. Completely free (not some trial period and then send us your wallet) and copes with all regions fine without locking your drive after 5 changes or anything silly.

He tells me it was VLC that he downloaded and that he's really impressed, so thanks everyone. :D

I agree with VLC, it plays everything!
