The only free media player that I know of that plays DVDs is VLC. Go to:
http://www.videolan.org/vlc/
It will also allow you to multi-steam the DVD over a network (Way cool)

Bwahaha!

Control panel, add/remove software, REMOVE WMP9!

If that is still possible? Probably not...

Go to www.free-codecs.com or the mirror www.codecsdownload.com and check out the free goodies. More players and codecs than you can figure out how to use in a lifetime. Several of the free players can play DVDs.

Especially checkout the 'Real Alternative' and 'Quicktime Alternative' codec packs. You can listen to 'RealMedia' or watch Quicktime movies WITHOUT the respective branded player browbeating you to buy the registered Version!

A codec is the software needed to read and decompress a specific format for video and/or audio.
