HaterNob Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 I'm setting up a new PC for my folks that they bought from Dell. It came with some BULLSHIT Dell media player which I've removed because it was utter SHIT! I've tried to get PowerDvD down but can only seem to get a trial version. The computers also got media center installed but I need the DvD codec, can I get it for free somewhere? Cheers in advance,pz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liam Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 Media Player Classic looks rough and rugged, but it handles pretty much EVERYTHING very well and it incredibly light on resources. It's on sourceforge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaterNob Posted September 29, 2006 Author Share Posted September 29, 2006 Ed mang, cheers for the advice but I'm installing this on my Mam's computer so I'm a bit dubious about fucking with torrents. @ Liam - I'll give that a go, cheers mang. pz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

savwar Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 yeah vlc is great, everthing works in it,but its real bare, and what annoys me is theres no popup menu when your in fullscreen mode... sometimes Media player classic(real alternative) stalls for me but my pc is shit... i had interwin dvd or intervideo win dvd or whetever its called before, and it had nice features like capturing screen shots and shit.... might try and get that again... i need a new one..

savwar Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 what annoys me is theres no popup menu when your in fullscreen mode...Right click the screen. Dunno if that's the sort of menu you mean though. nah i mean the bar along the bottom with volume & to scroll along the time like in real alternative.... oh yeah and it doesn't have a rewind (search button) function, you can click back on the bar but you cant watch shit in reverse if ya get me...., not that i do that... although i used watch movies i wanna get through quickly tho at 1.5X, not with like chipmunk voices just quicker talking... i would like that feature again...time saving with pointless viewing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
