this looks like a really comprehensive program.. i really liked the InterVideo player i had several years ago.. very nice to use, crystal clear, very simple lots of usable features

For playing DVDs the best I've found is K-Multimedia Player, it has nice accessible controls for brightness, contrast and so forth both hardware and software based.

Since I'm almost always broke I'm biased toward free stuff, I'm sure there are better programs out there but these are what I've found that work for me and don't cost anything.

In order to copy protected DVDs you will need something like Alcohol52%, another freebie that will let you make ISO files from protected DVDs.. This is not a no brainer type of thing to do though, it does take a little knowledge.

You will need to find out what sort of copy protection there is on the DVDs, for that use Protection ID.. also a freebie.
