DVD Software

Really a simple question I think...

I have two DVD playback options

1) WinDVD
2) PowerDVD

Which is better? I do not want to install both.

Thanks in advance.

To be honest, neither one is really better then the other, they are essentially the same program. Both have plenty of options for playback and run very well. Its a toss-up between them. I like PowerDVD but WinDVD is just as well.

I use WinDVD but only because it came with a notebook I have. Power DVD is considered by most to be the best. Actually Windows Media Player in XP works as well as anything. I jus watch movies on my notebook once in a while in Hotels so if it will show the movie it works for me.

I prefer PowerDVD, mainly because I find it more comfortable and you have more options.
But that's a personal preference. They both decode MPEG-2 very well.
