0 drewster2100 Posted July 17, 2002 Share Posted July 17, 2002 i would use powerdvd xp if i were you, its good, why bother paying for something else, although i use intervideos mp3/dvd pack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 DigitalDJ Posted July 17, 2002 Share Posted July 17, 2002 i use PowerDVD 4 XP to run my DVDs but sometimes in XP i just use Windows Media Player..kinda feature less but it does the job :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 brn2prgrm Posted July 17, 2002 Share Posted July 17, 2002 I'd say PowerDVD as well. It came with both my computer and my new Geforce4 ti4200 and it worked out pretty good. But if you have an nVidia graphics card then i'd be looking forward to NVDVD, that program looks awesome so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 joshbrown Posted July 17, 2002 Author Share Posted July 17, 2002 i ask since the volume seems really low in it, and i can't find a volume control within the program itself, maybe im just stupid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 liar2 Posted July 18, 2002 Share Posted July 18, 2002 powerdvd all the way. dvd's have volume set really low for some reason. when watching a movie, i have to turn my speakers all the way up. it's really annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 generalnewbie Posted July 18, 2002 Share Posted July 18, 2002 windvd 4.0 sorry but after i compared them myself .. windvd gives better video quality plus the dvd mp3 package is SWEET! and must have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Roger H. Veteran Posted July 18, 2002 Veteran Share Posted July 18, 2002 yeah, windvd 4.0 Kicks ASS. Powerdvd can't catch that yet and talk about features now (which i still don't even use that much) PowerDVD used to have tons more features than WinDVD but since 4.0 came out that's not even an issue anymore. WinDVD has better audio and video quality and everyone knows that. www.digital-digest.com if you don't believe :) WinDVD 4.0 is better than PowerDVD XP. All the years they gave it to PowerDVD (except in video and audio quality) but now WinDVD takes it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 hobsgrg Posted July 18, 2002 Share Posted July 18, 2002 I've always used power dvd since i first got my dvd drive back in march 2000. The dirve came with windvd 2 but i had trouble with it when i replaced my firmware with a region free one as i live in the UK and wanted to play US discs, so i got powerdvd 3, and current use powerdvd XP. But if win dvd 4 is as good as u say it is then i'm definately going to give it a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 hobsgrg Posted July 18, 2002 Share Posted July 18, 2002 I've just tried out Windvd 4 and im very impressed, im going to be sticking to this from now on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Almighty1 Posted July 18, 2002 Share Posted July 18, 2002 I use both WinDVD Plus 4.0 and PowerDVD XP 4.0... While PowerDVD XP 4.0 is good... like others mentioned, the volume is a bit on the low side. WinDVD Plus 4.0 has slightly better picture quality... I have both a SGI Widescreen LCD and a 43" Pioneer Plasma display ;) WinDVD also has reference volume levels comparable to a CD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
