winDVD vs. PowerDVD

I got one with my dvd player and the other with my new video card. What's everyone's preference?

Both good, I prefer PowerDVD. Install them both, use whichever works best for you.

I prefer PowerDVD over WinDVD, with my setup I can't get WinDVD to output to both my monitor and s-video out at the same time, but PowerDVD does this without a problem.

I prefer PowerDVD. I've tried using WinDVD, but it has sound glitches with some of my DVD's (most notably Reservoir Dogs), and PowerDVD plays those same movies flawlessly. For me, it's really a no brainer.

My reason is more shallow... I simply like the PowerDVD interface better. Just what I got more comfortable with early on.

The winner was definately Power DVD. WinDVD had sound problems with 2 of the movies I tried. Nothing more annoying than glitches halfway through
