OK, so I'm one of those people who do not have a TV - yes, you read that right. I was so addicted to watching tv I gave mine away. But I do watch a lot of DVD's late night. I have Dell's Cineplayer on my computer it locks up so often, to the point I have to manually reboot.

Can anyone suggest a good DVD player software I can buy and install in place of Cineplayer? Here's a link I found on a review of the top 10 DVD player software. What do you think?

Try VLC media player.

You're not alone. wink.gif

I second VLC player, and profit to add another question : how can one see video on a PC with color management?

I realized that unchecking the "use overlay" checkbox in VLC did it, but fear it could put a huge load on the CPU?

Stick with freeware for this one. VLC is the first one I reach for. Sometimes I get some stuttering with some DVDs on an older laptop, and switching to Media Player Classic (http://sourceforge.net/projects/guliverkli2/) will usually sort it out.

PS. Don't forget to get the codecs for Media Player Classic from ffdshow at http://sourceforge.net/projects/ffdshow/
They tend use less cpu.
