Summary: Of all the gin joints, in all the world ...
Comment:
Having been a longtime user of WinDVD in its earlier versions, and long before Corel bought them, I was glad to come across this product as I badly needed to replace my 2002 version that I was still running.
I installed this on a relatively new version of Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 and experienced absolutely no problems at all. Just a word to those installing this program though for the first time. This program forces you to add the dashes ( - ) when you're inputting the serial code to authenticate the installation. In all the years of inputting serial codes, this must be the first time I had to put in the dashes. After it errored out several times and I kept checking it, I scratched my head in wild wonder until it occurred to me to make the adjustment.
You also have the choice to install Quicktime, which most people should already have and Real Player. In the old days Real Player was the absolute last thing that you would want to put on windows as it had a nasty habit of corrupting the registry. These days, it plays nice and gets along well in the classroom with others. I've used Real Player without any issues for the last two years.
Even though this program advertises clearly on the box that it's for Blu-ray, you do not have to have a Blu-Ray player to install and use it. One of the benefits of the program is that it has some of the best 1080i upsampling capabilities of any program currently on the market for the same money.
Out of curiosity I was able to watch several movies that were graphically superior with the program. I watched The Prestige, Blade Runner - The Final Cut, Casablanca (a must see in high def) and Harold and Maude (a real "film" with film qualities and drawbacks and a good test DVD to check out all the cool features offered. The All2HD feature on Casablanca does an incredible job with the blacks and multi-gray tones. But I don't recommend it for older color films that haven't yet been restored as the program works overtime trying to really make it "pop", which causes repetitive video lagging. In these cases I recommend:
In Enhance Video: Cinema Enhancement - Upsampling - Sharpness.
If you check these boxes, you'll see a fantastic image without the interference of lag. The audio enhancements are also interesting, but limited depending on the system that your using or connected to. I didn't do anything greater than the default settings as adjusting the audio just caused the sound to seem artificial. These settings are more for home movies or lower-budget films that could benefit from such tampering.
This is a fantastic program and from what I can see, and the best program to have on your PC to watch movies with.
The screen cap feature is also easy to use and produces nice quality caps for those that run websites dedicated to just such a thing. I placed two up in the photo section. No, that's not me holding that newborn.
I guess since I mentioned this, I might as well put in a link just in case you weren't aware.

Summary: DON'T BUY IF YOU ARE RUNNING VISTA!!!
Comment: The application simply will not play a DVD at all nor will it even stay running for any length of time without crashing from a 'WinDVD MFC Application has stopped working' error.

Summary: WinDVD9 is a definite Plus
Comment: This is an excellent software for PC playback of DVD's, HD DVD's and Blu-ray discs. It automatically detects the disc type and plays back flawlessly.It even works well on an iMac computer running Windows XP. The only drawback is that it does not play individual files as it should be able to do when the file or folder playback is selected as the source in the pop-up menu.I think it is an improvement over the previous version of WinDVD8 Platinum which could play back either HD DVD's or Blu-ray, but not both since one had to select which type of HD disc during installation. The new version also installs quicker and is ready to run almost instantly after installation.

Summary: Nice upconvert for DVDs
Comment: Although I don't have a Blu-Ray player yet, I've found that this does do a nice job of displaying DVDs. The bulb on our DLP tv recently burned out, and we had to wait a week for a replacement. Our son needed to watch his cartoons, and was happy watching them on the computer this way.

Summary: Great show!
Comment: Added this to my HP with Vista and it makes my DVDs come alive. Even though I have a standard dvd drive in my box, I still found the dvd to have more punch to it over windvd 8 that came preinstalled on my pc.
