best program to watch DVD's on the PC with?

shard · Sep 11, 2005

yeah as the title says, what is the best?

i have powerDVD, but imo the picture quality is not the best, and from what i have read, that it doesnt support full surround sound without paying for their uber overpriced edition

I know nothing about watching DVDs on my computer, um, i watch my pr0n on Divx if that helps

I think we both know it doesn't, so you can refrain from these kinds of posts in the future

cyberlink powerdvd is a good one. it came with my cd/dvd drive though, not sure if it's available as retail software.

well after some snooping around, i found that cyberlink powerdvd actualy has a much better version, albiet a bit more pricey, but i dled the trail version of the full setup, and trust me, way better picture quality then the OEM software that comes with the DVD drives

Powerdvd is the best software that I have tried for playing dvd on the computer.

i'll definately have to try that. i'm quite happy with my current software, but better picture is also good.

i think it has to do with the revised CLPV mode, and it helps only on some movies, others can just be a hopeless cuase

media player classic is pretty good, and with the right video codecs on your system, it can play more or less any video (including quicktime, real, windows media)

All DVD applications that I have tried left much to be desired from.

I have DVD Player for the purpose of playing DVDs.

Can't say enough good things about MPC. I don't use any other player for movies, regardless of what format they're in.

you could try the VLC media player, its a basic player and pretty small, free also, and it plays just about EVERYTHING its rediculous, but i use media player to watch dvd's and havent had a complaint..

Always thought windvd's visuals were sharper than powerdvd. For now I've got the pure decoder from nv runnnin' on WM10. Once I got to know the keyboard shortcuts and found the TweakMP Powertoy, my life had been made better

Best part about the tmp prog has to be the ability to disable the bars from coming up EVERYTIME my mouse moves. They only come up now if I go to the top or bottom.

I personally use VLC Player, never had a problem

Well, I have my Logitech Z-5500 on the way, I will tell you guys how they sound with PowerDVD. Since I got the full version now, I should be able to use all the different audio options.

Yes. Adobe After Effects. Its price isn't too nice though.

I second this. I love windvd for playing dvds. I get it free with my asus board so every time I build a new computer I get a newer version. Think I am up to version 5 or 6 platinum.

I bought retail version somewhere for $5. Works great but isnt ASUS restricted.
