My DVD-RW came with WinDVD 4, which has one of the worst DVD interfaces i've ever seen, and the sound is choppy when it plays. VideoLan has beautiful video output, but a nasty interface and the the timeline seeking when using hotkeys is often completely off, jumping chapters when it's only supposed to jump a few seconds. Windows Media Player does the job, but the video output isn't that great, and it's not very configurable. BS Player doesn't even play DVDs, yet.

Is there a solid freeware DVD player out there that has configurable hotkeys, deinterlacing options, and maybe a screen capture option? i'd take two out of three at this point.

I've yet to see a freeware DVD player, period. Sorry.

In Win9x and WinNT flavors for y'all.

Another option is vlc, but I also prefer Media Player Classic.

No wonder it's so good, even skeptical guys should embrace it, after all it's XBMC's core!

Yea, WMPC should work. 'free' software dvd players are sketchy / hard to come by because your supposed to be paying a fee to the MPAA to decode dvds (why the xbox dvd player isn't included but why the ps2 can use dvd compression on its fmv).

I love Media Player Classic. Simple, clean interface, plays everything, and plays it well. You'll even be able to take advantage of 5.1 soundtracks, all in a free program.
