I use VLC Media Player.  It works great!  Dell installed it for me when I 
could not play DVDs on my new laptop.  I had to disable the CyberLink 
startup item for the Dell provided Media Direct application, because it 
enables Vista Sticky and Repeat Keys in JAWS.  And for some reason, Windows 
Media Player and Windows Media Center refuse to play a DVD, because it can 
not verify that the video output is copy protected!  I think this is a Dell 
problem.

Back to the point, the default keystrokes for VLC Media Player are:
Play / Pause  Space bar
Stop  s
Full Screen   F
Volume Up  Control Up Arrow
Volume Down  Control Down Arrow
 Mute  M

But on my Dell laptop the volume controls do not seem to work, even if I try 
to redefine them.  The dialog box to redefine the interface is fairly slow 
and I initially needed sighted assistance.
But you can eventually get the gist of it.  You may have to tab through the 
dialog box and Shift tab back through them to have JAWS tell you what the 
combo box is defining.  I think this dialog box scrolls and JAWS gets 
confused.
