The simplest way is to install a test version of a commercial player
and un-install it again. The codecs remain on the hard disk and can be
used even by Microsoft's Media Player.

If you don't want to do it that way, you can ovbtain codecs for free,
like Xvid;-), and use them in any given player. The DVD players aren't
much more than proprietary players, which use those or similar codecs,
after all.

Googling, I found
http://www.cliprex.com/ (not tested)
where there is even a link to the Fraunhofer DVD codec to download
