Just wow!
I accidentally deleted my WinDVD player and I don't know where my recovery CDs are. Then I stumbled upon this excellent piece of software. Easy installation and instantly recognized by WMP and also by Video Decoder Checkup Utility.

The only minor minor issue I have is the volume is a bit low even after fiddling with all the controls. Maybe there's a setting I don't know.

Open software, way to go!!

Had a crash and had to reformat, so I lost my reliable, useful Acer Arcade and can't reinstall it. The Windows player is my only other immediate option for watching DVDs, but it wouldn't work, due to lack of a codec. Despite my lack of technical knowledge about this problem, all I had to do was download and unzip and install this codec, and the player IMMEDIATELY played my DVD movie, no problem, no skips, no jumpiness, no further effort on my part. So far, I'm pleased.

far and away the best freeware DVD decoder currently available. Twice as fast as the GPL one and without all the bugs of the Gabest one. If you're wondering which DVD filter to use stop looking and use this one.

Love it - I'm not technically inclined, but did read your reviews, and using it with WMP 11. Loaded right up and went to work, one unexpected pause when I first started it.

I thought that maybe I was being a bit hard on DScaler in my previous post, so I have tried it again using XP professional with service pack 2 and WMP 9.00.00.3250 on the same computer. I downloaded Dscaler5008.exe again and this time it did allow DVDs to be played with WMP even though it was not detected by the Windows XP Video Decoder Checkup Utility. However, it's performance was inferior to that of nVIDIA Pure Video Decoder 1.2 which I am using with WMP9 on another partition on the same computer. The problem is the same as what I experienced with Media Player Classic - jerky movements. My CPU is a Cyrix C3, 1 Ghz which ought to be sufficient for playing DVDs. Maybe nVIDIA is better because some of the processing load is shared between the CPU and the graphics card.

Don't waste your time with this half baked amateur effort. It doesn't work with WMP9 and Windows 98SE. The Play menu should show a DVD option when Dscaler is installed and the Tools>Options>File types menu should include a check box for DVD video but neither of these was present.

The so called help file gives no information on troubleshooting, configuring or anything else that would interest anyone who is not a programmer. Would be users are expected to join their forum and discuss among themselves how to get it to work.

If this is an XP only codec why doen't they say so?

Works great, installed easy right away, no spyware, and best of all, it's free! Best free codec on the internet. free-codecs.com is the best place to go.

What a find, this application solved all my problems. I had no problems with my DVD R/RW then after a downloading couple of rippers and burners I couldn't even play a DVD on Windows although CD's were OK. Tried various codecs ie. DivX and Codec Pack other that I can't even remember but this one came up trumps, easy download and install and it's FREE excellent keep up the good work.
PS Other user comments helped a lot, thanks.

Wonderful, one of the best freeware applications I have ever downloaded. A quick download and easy to install. The quality isn't the best, but for free anything is great, I can play DVDs now and that's all I wanted. Some advice to other people with this same problem or who are downloading this is to download WinDVD 7, and then use serials from www.seri***.ws to unlock it, it's a large file at 53MB compared to this, that's what I am trying now, but for the meantime I am using this program. Thank you free-codes.com!

Excellent! MPC's built-in DVD decoder was too slow for my old P3 so I decided I'd give this a go. To my suprise, Dscaler worked brilliantly with great quality! Don't pay for commercial DVD decoders without trying this out first.

Tip: Set deinterlacing mode to weave if it looks 'jumpy'. Also, use ffdshow to decode audio so that you can normalise it.

V. easy installation, free and safe.
Puts itself where it should be, windows media player recognizes it automatically.
If only all internet free stuff could be as helpful as this one!
