you'll never find a "free" DVD player as the vendor of the player (software) has to pay royalties to the MPEG-2 development group. this is also why you have to buy the plug-in for Windows Media Player for WindowsXp to make it able to play DVDs... sorry bro, but you're pretty much outta luck.

drivers are one thing... mose OSs since 98SE had built in DVD-ROM "support" as in it'll read a DVD-Disc... i think he's talking about MPEG-2 decoding software... the stuff you need to watch a movie.
