    I was kinda stupid and deleted my DVD decoder by mistake before I created my backup discs. I mistook it for bloatware..... Anyway, any good free ones out there, or do I have to buy a new one? I only noticed it because I couldn't play a DVD for one of my multimedia and design courses. It was Cyberlink PowerDVD I think. Stupid me....

    VLC will play almost anything and is cross-platform as well as free.
