PowerDVD
XP is clearly one of the finest DVD players available for Windows. It has
some great features that other software, like WinDVD, don’t even have. The
bunch of new features teamed-up with the handy remote control device make
PowerDVD XP the software of choice when it comes to flawlessly watch DVDs on
your computer. However, I have to say that the new version will be useful
only if you need one of the new audio decoding or playback features (or
hardware acceleration). In case you don’t need them, you can perfectly keep
using PowerDVD
