In defense of WMP 8+ (I still hate 7 with a passion), it's able to play WMV/ASF files without the damn buffering wait period that WMP 6.4 has.

Lastly, on the subject of video players, is MPC a DVD player as well? Also, is there a way to disable macrovision through a software means (I'm a little leery of doing a firmware upgrade, considering the problems that arose with firmware upgrades with my CD-Burner and Video card) or a DVD player (that doesn't suck) that will disable macrovision and remain as good, or at least nearly as good as PowerDVD?
Yes Media Player Classic can play DVD's.. it has its own Internal AC3 and Mpeg2 decoder or you can use PowerDVD's or WinDVD's if you want.. But i think the Macrovision stuff is done in the DVD Navigator Filter and the Video Drivers. But i don't know too many details because i don't work with Video out much.. I do know that Nvidia had sensitive drivers and sometimes they where miss tripped.. Though i will see if i can find out anything..
