Can anyone recommend an easy to use program for the computer for playing dvds besides Windows Crap Media Player?

You might want to try power dvd. At least I think that's what the name of the program is. just put the dvd in to your cd drive and it starts up

Aswell as it playing dvd's it plays practically every type of media file and is free. www.videolan.org

There is some info on using power DVD with jaws on jaws-users.com, on the tips and tricks page.

HTH!

I use Intervideo WinDVD, it came with my hp laptop. I find it easy to use and it has some great keyboard shortcuts.

where can you get keyboard shortcuts in intervideo?
It does one strange think - when I call context menu in film, it announces some item, but actually, the cursor is at the item above.
This problem only occurs with windoweyes.

There's a program similar to PowerDVD in interface called DVD X Player.
I've heard of Intervideo WinDVD, but could never get it to work. If someone could post the keyboard shortcuts, that would be great.
