Personally i prefer WinDVD but there are some codec packs and such that will allow you to play DVDs in Media Player Classic and Windows Media Player.

Yeah the lack of DVD decoding software built into WindowsXP or Windows Media player sort of chaps my ass. Such a simple thing, I really think Microsoft ought to have supported it.
