CNET Editors' review
This media player has a lot going for it, though not as much as its price would lead you to expect. Blaze DVD Player supports a variety of media formats besides DVD, including CD audio, MP3, QuickTime, and RealMedia. It offers a good variety of features, such as scene bookmarking and the ability to automatically resume playing from the place you left off watching. You also can make screenshots or even record a movie into the MPEG format (the picture quality was all right in our tests). If you need to make out fine details, you can zoom in on any area of the screen. But oddly, while the program supports parental controls, it offers only basic audio and video settings, such as color adjustments and a choice of sound schemes. The interface, on the other hand, is clear and handy. Cost is an issue, though. At the same $50 price point, WinDVD Platinum and get more video and audio options. Blaze DVD Player works well enough; its competitors just deliver a bit more for the money.Publisher's Description

"mierda. and forces Babylon search/home page on ya."

"It Promises a lot but delivers very little"
Version: BlazeDVD 6.0
Pros
Bright skin, very intuitive interface.
Cons
Sometimes can't play DVD, not so many options, the qulity of video and sound leaves a lot to be desired.
Summary
I've tried nearly 80 mediaplayers from all around the world and of all kinds, this one is on the 10's place. It's really good, but sometimes it can't play DVDs properly and I have to choose another player that plays them just right. It has everything you will need but still it feels like it lacks something and that is why I rate it so poor.

Cons
Nothing negative to say,except: GREAT PROGRAM!
Summary
Very professional looking.Has a lot of options and is a lot more valuable than many programs that you have to pay for! Two Thumbs Up !!!

Looks Great.
Doesn't use a lot of resource to play.
Beats PowerDVD by a mile.
And did I mention FREE!!Cons
None so far
Summary
You would have to pay for other DVD players to get what you get from Blaze free. It's hard to imagime what else could come from a paid version of this. Hands down, the best DVD player out there.
