DVD player/codec pack needed

Hey,
Whats the best DVD player app for Vista x64?
Or is it best just to use WMP with added codecs?
Preveously I use Power DVD ultra, but I dont think it supports x64.
Thanks,

CCCP is a good codec pack for WMP and Itunes. Two good dvd playing apps are WinDVD9 or Powerdvd 8 by cyberlink.

"VLC media player is a highly portable multimedia player for various audio and video formats (MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, DivX, mp3, ogg, ...) as well as DVDs, VCDs, and various streaming protocols. It can also be used as a server to stream in unicast or multicast in IPv4 or IPv6 on a high-bandwidth network"-VLC media player - Overview

Also try This codec Package.

When dealing with codecs, more does not equal better.
Having the least amount on your system is the best configuration.
This is exactly what the Vista Codec Package does for you.

You will no longer be restricted to using a specific player.
Windows MediaPlayer and Vista MediaCenter will be able to play all your files
