“I was sitting with a dilemma this weekend, i wanted to watch a dvd on my computer but i had no software to play it with. WinDVD could not be found, but it is not free or open source, that’s why i went for a search for an Open Source Alternative - VLC Media Player was the choice, and it worked like a dream, easy to use and open source - my cup of tea — Enjoy folks”
