I downloaded PowerDVD 8 from CyberLink at C/Net.
Got the Free trial version.
Works like a charm. Solved alotta MSMediaPlayer issues.
DVDs now play.
Mac
But I am NOT taking away from Skuzzys sails. I just D/L'd a Beta Version that is ONLY free for a Month.
Cyberlink makes a trial version available for downloading. And yes, once it is installed the MPEG-2 codec is installed which allows any video player to play DVD's after that.
