For paid, I actually recommend WinDVD from Intervideo. For free, I've had excellent results with VLC and MPC (Media Player Classic - I installed it as part of the K-Lite Codec Pack). Regards, zakaluka2.
Yes, for both cases. For Windows: Go into the Task Manager, and right-click on any process. You will see a "Set Affinity" button. You can select which core the process will run on. However, you must do this on a...
