third party mac software to watch pc burned dvd's?

[wbambic]

i have a large collection of dvd's that i burned on my pc using roxio easy media creator 8 drag-to-disc. they are primarily dvd+r dl but also dvd-r and dvd+r. these all play nicely on my stand-alone dvd players, however these will not play on my new macbook even when i "open dvd media" and point to the dvd's video_ts folder. they do play if i copy the files to the hd and "open dvd media", but i would prefer not to have to do that. is there a third party media player that could work? or are there any other suggestions? thanks for any help!
