CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
Don't let the hit-or-miss nature of the installation documentation throw you. Even if you have to update components on your machine, you're only moments away from DVD-viewing satisfaction. With an easy-to-use and visually pleasing interface and a bevy of extra features, WinDVD is a demoware dream come true.
The app provides unlimited, theater-perfect playback for the duration of its two-week run on your PC. A slider control improves on the usual Forward and Back buttons, so pinpointing your favorite movie scenes is as fun as watching them in the program's crystal-clear display. Advanced viewing-time controls let you repace the action to fit your available viewing time. The program also features a handful of audio options for Dolby systems and simple headphones.
A full complement of video options includes basic adjustments such as color, contrast, and gamma, as well as advanced tools for monitor calibration. The program's massive 30MB frame also contains great capturing and handling tools for up to six frames at a time. You also can choose to have the movie play as your desktop picture. Give the supersize WinDVD enough CPU room to run and enjoy unfettered viewing pleasure.
Publisher's description
From Corel :WinDVD Platinum 5.0 gives you all the great features of WinDVD Platinum, such as DivX support, Dolby virtual speakers, and video effects, while new features include Movie Encyclopedia (when you watch a DVD, you can look up information about the stars, the director, and related movies). It includes support for Hyper-Threading, a new technology that allows one microprocessor to behave like a pool of processors; a special design for maximum performance with Intel P4 chips; and progressive de-interlacing, a state-of-the-art algorithm that creates a smooth and clear display of interlaced video content. WinDVD Platinum 5.0 also features support for gamma correction, 96KHz/24-bit audio decoding, Language Mate, and Windows Media support. It's an even greater value now that it includes the Mobile Technology Pack. This version also features minor improvements and bug fixes. Try the new InterActual Pack, which gives you access to exciting online content for enhancing your DVDs.
