I watch all my movies through my modded xbox with xbox media center on my 62" tv

software, what software? All you need is Windows Media Player.

BTW those options were not very choosable. I watch dvds and 'clips' on my computer. But only when im too lazy to burn them to dvd, cause you dont want to waste a blank dvd for a crap movie. So basically just watch them on the comp for testing.

I'll watch some stuff on my computer when I'm working some thing. However, for hard core movie viewing I leave that to my 65" wide screen & yamaha/onkyo/Infinity setup. BTW Dark, I love that player but last time I tried it, it kept locking up on me.

I use PowerDVD and KazaLite Codec Pack. Run a lead from the computer to the TV if it is not in a supported format that the home DVD player can detect.

I�ve watched one or two movies on the computer monitor

Windows Media Player doesn't excite me very much.

so the comp would be the last place i would watch a movie

Me too - Yamaha driving a 13 year old pair of Polk SRS 2.3s with Monitor 5s doing surround duties. I got the DVD reader for software...

I only watch DVDs on my computer. My T.V. is slightly smaller than my computer monitor anyway, and I only use it for hockey (it's been broken the past year, and I haven't fixed it, since there wasn't any NHL season)

I got WinDVD and PowerDVD with various optical drives I've purchased, but I purchased PowerDVD for the latest version and all the features I wanted, which seemed like the best deal at the time, and I haven't really regretted it.

I'm slowly upgrading my home theatre speakers which are all connected to my computer, they make for fun while playing games. (Currently a mix of Klipsch, Boston Acoustics and Pioneer)

exellent how many people FOUND the players hahaha

**Vikingod** · Aug 5, 2005, 10:28 AM

I used to, not anymore. In my old house, the wife and I would watch them in our bedroom before we went to sleep. We don't do that anymore.

niceguyrichy · Aug 5, 2005, 11:27 AM

Never on my PC.
Once or twice on the move on my handheld, but I don't think I have ever watched a full dvd on my actual computer.
That's what the 28" widescreen flat screen tv with 400W 5.1 system's for.
My monitor is a crappy 17" Compaq crt at the mo anyway.

dsdsdk · Aug 5, 2005, 11:32 AM

why put "found" in ""?

WMP with k-lite codec (Cyberlink DVD decoder)

Majin GeoDooD · Aug 5, 2005, 11:52 AM

Yea there should be another option other than "found". I use Media Player Classic to watch DVDs.
