How to playback a dvd on laptop

[pat patterson]

I recently burned a DVD to my laptop, which is the best software for getting it to playback.

Any Help Would Be Greatly Appreciated.

(Freeware) "VLC" player (Formerly "VideoLAN" player") should serve you admirably for playback of DVDs and virtually any other video format...

You can't "burn a DVD to a laptop," you can either burn a copy to another disk and play it, or you can copy (or "rip") the files to the laptop's hard drive. Depending on which you did exactly, the answer will differ.

Sorry I didn't clarify, I ripped the movie to my hard drive using dvddecrypter and would like to know how I can play the movie back on my laptop.

Thanks!

Depending on which you did exactly, the answer will differ.Actually, VLC can play either...

It also depends on how you ripped the movie - if the laptop has a DVD player software installed, such as PowerDVD or WinDVD, you can also play individually ripped files with those players or with Windows Media Player or VLC. Another option is to rip it in ISO format, then either mount the disk in a virtual drive or use VLC.

It also depends on how you ripped the movieNot really. VLC can play all examples mentioned...

Not really. VLC can play all examples mentioned...
...as can the various players I mentioned, depending on how the DVD was ripped. I was simply giving the options available to the question asked - there's no need to correct me.

there is often no right or wrong way when it comes to different approaches to solve a problem or answer a question (unless the answer comes from me and then it is always right :D )

please try to keep this in mind when responding to other forum members suggestions, as your responses, at times, can read as abrasive.
