VLC is only free in that you don't pay for the software itself, if you read the doucmentation they expect *you* to buy the relevant mpeg decoder license.

Always read the small print!!! Are others using this without knowing about the licence.

And if you use VLC to read/play CSS protected discs, your breaking the law.

I have used this in the past:

Just a simple DVD-Video player, completely freeware, no need for any external codecs. Basically like PowerDVD or WinDVD, but free.
