I'm on a Mac and I use VLC which is available from videolan.org . It's available for windows (and I think linux) also.

VLC does anything I need for video. I think ive used powerdvd before, I think it is just some bloated slow preinstalled dvd player that companies try to force onto people.

File - Open Directory (if they are in a video_ts folder)
Or if they are in an iso or similar disc image, just right click and click open with and choose VLC.
