Corel WinDVD 9

[markcu]

Hi,

I'm considering moving from PDVD to Corels WINDVD for watching my Hi-def media (Both Blu-ray and HD-DVD)

Is it any good?
Are there any reasons why this would be a good/bad idea?
Does work ok with iso's. virtual clone drive, and anydvd hd?

Many thanks for your input.

Dunno. I never got it to work reliably. If it does (you must be lucky), BD movies stutter like hell under XP.

Not yet. At the moment, it doesn't play BD isos with VCD, only HD DVD.
Difficult to fix, as I have a hard time to get it to play anything at all.

WinDVD plays *encrypted* BD isos (e.g. created from original disc with AnyDVD disabled) mounted with Daemon Tools, provided that AnyDVD is enabled for a virtual drive (SamuriHL's method).

As soon as James enables VCD to allow to change media type either with UI or by modifying .dvd description file, it should play images (both decrypted and encrypted) mounted wth VCD, too. :)

But I'm also rather sceptical about moving from PowerDVD to WinDVD permanently.

PowerDVD is the best choice!
I would never try any apps from former InterVideo now renamed Corel.
There apps crash and, they will let you down at some points. Cyberlink is the best! ;)
