If you want to avoid malicious codes, it is recommended that you download DVD decoder freeware programs only from reputed websites. An even better way is to download trail versions of branded DVD decoders.

Moreover, you should also not forget that trial versions of branded DVD decoders are highly unlikely to contain malicious codes, something that is always a possibility with freeware programs. So, if you do not want to take too many risks, just go for trial versions. They are as good as free DVD decoders, trust me!
