- I had to give a rating so it get's 1 star
IT appears that Corel has messed up the WinDVD product.

My problems:

1) Trial version will not work on Windows XP x64, PowerDVD trial does.

2) Tech support responses are the standard dribble you can query online.
Even if youmention you tried the online help, you still get the same
response from tech support.

3) No Blu-Ray trial available from Corel WinDVD. I need it for seeing how
well blu0ray plays. I would have to assume the blu-ray plays correctly.
Not much of a problem since the trial will not work.

PowerDVD does have a Blu-Ray trial available

4) Unable to download a new trial. Repeatedly tells me my trial period
has ended. Removed everything per their help/tech ... Read More

- One Main Reason to Buy This: Time Stretch
Upconverting to HD type quality is a great feature, however, there is one main reason to buy WinDVD, and it's a good one:

Time Stretch

For several editions now, WinDVD has had a feature called Time Stretch. Essentially, this allows you to watch a movie faster than its original time. For example, a 2 hour movie in only 1.5 hours. You could even watch a movie TWICE as FAST as it normally would be (2 hours becomes only 1) but then everyone sounds like chipmunks, and the action is very fast. This allows you to watch more movies in less amount of time. When time is short, this can be very helpful.

That being said, this version of WinDVD doesn't seem to have keyboard shortcuts to speed up the time, forcing you to use your mouse to speed it up. Previous version(s), ... Read More

- COMMERCIAL VERSUS FREEWARE DVD PLAYER
The two commercial survivors WinDvd and PowerDvd have parlayed all the free distributions into a large market share and their costs have become astronomical and their software so complex it locks up... Might I suggest a freeware HIGH DEFINITION alternative, the VLC DVDPlayer as well as another no cost player the AVS DVD player... The VLC DVDPlayer can play MKV extensions and a ton of other formats. To test it, I watched a Spiderman I HD disc rip (.mkv) on my computer and it was beautiful....You don't always have to pay for hyped inferior software

- Crashes when All2HD enabled
Crashes immediately when All2HD (upsampling) is enabled. Unable to play DVDs until WinDVD is reinstalled.

- works well, but poor interface
I've used windvd for a lot of years, mainly because it is well-behaved and seems to play the wide variety of media that I want to play without complaint. This version is no different. I'm using this both on win xp and vista and have had no problems on either platform.

One thing that I really dislike about this version however are the controls. Everyone is familiar with vcr-style controls. Play, pause, stop, fast forward, fast reverse, and skip to next/prev chapter. So why dork with that? *boggle* But no, Coral decided that it would somehow improve the interface to remove the fast forward/fast reverse buttons and combine that functionality with the chapter forward and back. The net result is that it is a lot harder to use, and much less intuitive.
