Media Player Classic

Media Player Classic works quite well playing DVDs.

Has all the DVD codecs built in, as well as support for a majority of audio formats, all in one neat package.

Took a look at VLC, but it's FAQ states that it saves it's config file to the C:\ drive. Don't want anything saved to the computer's hard drive, wether it be config files, temp files, or registry entries.

Using VLC here, on their web site it states to make it portable add

--no-plugins-cache and --config="vlcrc" to the command line.

Will check it out to make sure when I get home.
