[Need] Free dvd decoder software for windows

My brother's dell came with Cine. It sucks, it crashes on scratched dvds that all our other computers have no trouble handling, and if you right click on the video are (which is how you access the file and options menu on the player we use), it pops up a Cine dialog which makes it near impossible to use whatever program you were.

Is there a good free DVD Decoding software for windows that can be used instead?

Install this and when the configuration comes up, make sure you select MPEG-2 under the decoding options. You can then play DVDs in Windows Media Player.

I already had that (on mine). I was hoping for something more complete, but I guess I'll throw dvd43 on his computer as well
Thanks

(Also, with your method, there's a DVD Playback checkbox you need to check as well, it appears when you select mpeg2 from the list)

I use DVDFab and it's worked great - only two discs wouldn't work and they were so bad they glitched my DVD-R as well.

I agree. I switched from InterVideo to DVDFab.

I hate VLC and I already have a player. I was looking purely for the decoding software.

DVDFab is ripping though isn't it?

Yeah, I think a few people got confused what you were asking for.

K-Lite codec pack.

I'd do that, but only as a last resort. The only reason is, my player has built in codecs so I don't want to add more than I have to.

Ideally, since that just combines a bunch of codecs, I'd just install whichever one made DVDs work.

In the mean time though, as I said, I have it working with FFDShow.

I've tried them all free MPEG-2 codecs and FFDShow's is the only one that satisfies me.
