A Review of PowerDVD Linux – expensive, but just works

,----[ Quote ]
| As much as we hate to say this, PowerDVD is damn nice. There was no setup 
| required, and it was reliable as all hell. While some distros (eg, Linux 
| Mint) come out of the box with Open-Source DVD players, PowerDVDs colors 
| simply looked a lot better. None of the weird stuff - automatic playing, 
| subtitles, menuing, slow motion - was a problem.

DVD Playback In Vista: It All Depends

,----[ Quote ]
| This isn't really news if you've been paying attention to the fine print 
| about what is and what isn't available in the various editions of Windows 
| Vista. In fact it is just another in what seems like an increasing line of 
| curiosities regarding Vista functionality, as we wait for software vendors 
| and driver developers to catch up. It seems there is a bit of a Catch 22 
| regarding DVD playback at the moment.

| features, then finally then move onto testing.
