I have a CD rom drive that also plays DVD's, but would like something other than windows media player to be able to play them on. The drive itself came with Niro software, but I've found that it's not only inaccessible, but it takes up a ton of resources.
So, if anyone knows of something that's accessible, I would really appreciate the info.

I Use WinDVD its really accessible as you can use shortcut keys for everything. Its pretty good in that it will also play VCDs.

You can hit the application key in WinDVD too. But I like the fact that you have keyboard shortcuts. I never found any of those in Power DVD.
