Version: CyberLink PowerDVD 8 7
"One of the best DVD softwares on the market..."
Pros: Its one of the best software DVD players on the market.
Great, easy to use interface.
Program is very intuitive.
Program auto detects movies inserted into the DVD drive (as long as the program is running).
Program is quite fast.
Cons: I think the only major con is that the software is not free.
Another con is the availability of this software outside of purchasing it on the internet. I think its a complete waste to download or buy on the internet, I say this because you can just go and buy a new DVD drive, as they are now dirt cheap, $20 or so...and you not only get the DVD drive, but you get Cyberlink DVD included. You usually dont get WinDVD with DVD drives...its mostly older versions (like 5 or 6) of Cyberlink, but are full versions. Even though its v5 or v6, its still better than paying $50 for a new v7 license in my opinion.

My apologies for the last review of version 6.0...that was the case of pasting the wrong review in the wrong window.

Version: CyberLink PowerDVD 8 7
Pros: Looks like the prettiest Interface I have ever seen.
Cons: Garbage !! 6 was good powerDVD 7 is buggy as hell .
Installed on 32 an 64 bit copies of xp and it sucks.
64 bit crashes,wont update etc , 32 bit also many
errors n crashes. DRM wont allow playing a copied
dvd and locks up all your players and machine.
Poor customer support, got the usual idiot response
of pls update your direct x. Registration info wont
stick an no responses to offline registration
no response to my e mails. Wont play files for
drive an not other video formats supported. Dont
waste your time n money.

"Great considering it's pre-bundled on a new Dell pc."
Pros: Most everything Dell installs on a new computer is junk. This isn't, in fact, it's pretty darned good. Nice interface, easy to use and configure, does what it says it does. Plays all my DVD's without a glitch. The on line update seems to have resolved the minor quirks in this version.
Cons: None so far.
