I am installing a new PC at the MDs house of a company my company supports and i have come without a free copy of power DVD.

I need a player thats simple to use and not too large or the codecs needed to get WMP working with DVDs it has to be legit. links if possible?

Its 2o'clock now...Hurry im sure you guys can do it.

I heard if you download the trial of Power DVD you get the codecs which run DVDs on WMP9? Is this true and do the codecs stay on when the 30 days is up?

It is true that installing PowerDVD (or any other MPEG2 player) automatically allows Windows Media Player to play DVD-movies also, but when the trial expires it will disable the MPEG2 (DVD-Video) decoder, thereby making it inaccessible to Windows Media Player. What you need is a truly free MPEG2 player that doesn't expire and whose MPEG2 decoder will automatically be detected by Windows Media Player:
