I want to watch a movie on my computer, what should I install?

I'm trying to play a movie on my computer (from a disc). It says:

Windows Media Player cannot play the DVD because a compatible DVD decoder is not installed on your computer

Is there anything I can download that doesn't cost any money?

Update:

I have Vista if that matters

    VLC - it plays just about anything. Also, the cost is exactly what you asked for - free.

    You need DVD Ripper software.

    You can download the Daniusoft DVD Ripper. It can rip DVD to video file and play on PC, you can get it free to rip dvd one month without limitation.

    It's upgrade now, supports ISO, MKV, MKA file ripping, adding two real-time windows and many dvd ripping edit functions.

    I got free download at http://www.convert-video-dvd.com/dvd-ripper.html#1...
