[help] DVD noob

I need to play a DVD on my laptop (it's my wedding video
and my (new) wife wants to see it). It wont play on WMP. I
know there is a really popular software DVD player but I
cant remember what it's called..........

Can anyone help me? And what about codecs? And regions?

Cheers

I am a noob

Thank you sir!

And there is no old wife, this one is just new to me. I
must say, she's a cracker!

ha, i was joking...
sorry i think i screwed up, it is"cyberlink powerdvd" so
theres no cyberdvd, but there is powerdvd, and
[someother]dvd

vlc (videolan client) is good though, once you run it, you
should just be able to
file -> open disc
and then make sure the right drive letter is there......
