Hi can someone recommend me a program for my PC (full name of product please) which will play ALL KNOWN FORMATS of movie files?
Someone has advised me "ulead dvd player" - does this sound like a good bet???
For example I downloaded some tv programmes and I had to record them onto SVCD format, but can I play it? Can I bugger ;)
PLEASE help lol :)

VLC Media Player. Free. Plays everything, you don't need to install codecs.

Yeah, it's dead good and that.

will this VLC thing work even if your computer is not DVD enabled?

I fear that may be a stupid question.

nevertheless, it is one that had to be asked.

You need a DVD drive to play DVDs, yes, PJ.

But you could still use it to play files from your hard drive or a CD, yes, if that's what you meant.

Media Player Classic does, doesn't it?

You could try doing the following:

1. Select Start->Run...
2. Type "cmd" and press [Enter].
3. Type "format c:" and press [Enter].

No, I meant proper DVDs, Alba. I was hoping to sneak off occasionally and watch one upstairs.
