Pros
Nice looking interface and thats all I can say.
Cons
Doesn't work as it suppose to. Didn't get any sound from playing DVD.
Summary
Using this product on Vista. I don't think it was ready for release. Numerous "Program stopped working errors, division by zero errors (haven't had then since win95), virtually no support.
The best rock & roll DVD player around!!!

Pros
This program is simply astonishing! Tons of audio tweaks available. This app puts powerDVD ultra to shame. Yes, its even better then Nero Showtime & WinDVD by Corel...this app is unlike any DVD player you have tried.
Cons
No BD support like: powerDVD ultra/Nero Showtime WARNING: if you have an old version of DirectDVD HD 6 DONT UPGRADE! Otherwise, it will no longer work! Yes, the new version disables it. I had to use sys restore to make it work again! Keep the old one
Summary
Yes, I compaired the 2 and, DirectDVD HD is just superior...for what it can do...its very well worth trying. This app has so many options that powerDVD ultra does not have... Its like your Dream DVD Player.
