    If you have a DVD player, then you should have something with it to watch dvd's on.....

    .....Media Player plays them, as long as you have the codecs

    What operating system? VLC couldn't be simpler on Windows. It can be a bit of a bitch to get it up and running OK on Linux but that's another story.
