The player I was telling you about, is called: Media Player Classic Home cinema . It is free.
One other user kindly wrote and told me, that the same player bunddles with some other packs. But you might have to look them up, if you want. I found the CCCP package, and it is easy to get, if you go to Ninite.com. Also, first you get the Ninite installer, you can very easily keep your software up-to-date, at any given time later. Simply just run the installer again, and it will check for new updates, and install them if any are available. A dream to work with, that installer.
Both the player itself, and the CCCP package that bunddles it, is free. And it does - to my opinion - a far better job than all the mainstream products that I have seen. Products like Windows Media Player, PowerDVD, VLC and so forth. They don't play all movie formats, and they are only so much for accessibility.
If you want the player, but disagree in the bundle, try googling the Media Player Classic Home cinema, and see which bundles you might get. But the quickest and easiest way I know of, would be to go through Ninite.com. First you are there, make a sellection that will cover all your other computer needs, that they could cover - like the Flash, Firefox, Itunes or any other category and software they provide. Then it will be a real easy thing to keep your computer updated, in a free and effortless way - later on.

I thought VLC was quite accessible, but it does speak information quite strangely I will say. So I'm glad an alternative exists, CCCP!

Ever so often, we get the question here on thelist, for such a software, that is accessible and easily operated with WE.I have tried several, but they all seem to be only this much accessible. Recently I came across a software called CCCP, and which among others, hold a DVD playback software. Easiest way to get hold of it, is to go to Ninite.com . Choose Windows, and tab your way through the checkboxes, and check the CCCP box. Then go to the Download Installer link, and download and run the installer. First installed, go to your start menu and the Programs submenu. Find Combined Community Codec Pack . Hit Enter and choose Media Player Cinema Home ; which is the actual DVD player. When in the main screen of the player, hit Alt-F, to open the File menu. Then hit D, to open a DVD. You are taken to a File open screen, as you know it from hundreds of other Windows software. Shift-Tab twice, and scroll down to your DVD drive. Hit Enter, and the movie is loaded into the software. Press Space to start or pause the movie playback. Press the Period key to stop playback. PageUp and PageDown moves to previous or next Title or Chapter. Left and Right arrows moves you a few seconds backward or forward in the playback. And the Up and Down arrows adjust the playback volume. If you quickly want to navigate the movie's Titles and Chapters, press Alt-N, followed by J. Then arrow up and down through the selection, and hit Enter on the desired one. If you position your mouse at the very bottom row of the screen, here you will find the time line. It shows you the current time position of the playback, and the total length of the current Title. Even - I guess - you could use the Hotspot app, for setting hotspots to read you these infos at the touch of a hotkey. The software is, far as I have been able to test it, fully accessible. Menus are good old-styled Windows menus, and infos on the screen are fully readable - even though you might want to use your mouse keys for reading the screen. All in all, a good easy alternative to any other DVDplayback software that I have been in touch with. Seems to be free as well.Yet another benefit, is that I had several DVDs here, that none of the main stream software would play properly. Windows Media Player - for one - insisted that my display driver was outdated; even if going through HP's updater told me all drivers are up-to-date. So, with none of the mainstream products, my fully legally bought DVDs would not play. Soon as I installed the CCCP software, and use their DVD player, these movies play just wonderfully. Hope this info is helpful to some of you listers!GW-Info messages are archived at http://www.gwmicro.com/gwinfo.
