What are the best apps for Warp 4 (base level) and
eCS to play DVD's, preferrably with the ability to
use small screen sizes when the pc is rather slow?

AFAIK there's only one app that can even remotely play DVDs under OS/2,
WarpVision. (Publically available, anyway.)

WarpVision can sort of play some (and only some) DVDs, but with some
fairly major limitations (e.g. no menu support). I wouldn't expect
much success on a "rather slow" PC, however.
