What is the best DVD softwere and where to get it

[leeland]

I am looking to get some DVD software off the net to play dvds. I recently got the ati radeon 64 mb VIVO and a poineer 16x dvd drive and the sound blaster live platinum 5.1.....starting to get it all working and I don't have any software as of yet to run the DVD drive. any suggestions ? thanks for the answers if you leave any


p.s. if you could give a web site that would be extremely helpful as where to download from or where to buy from

thanks

The ATi DVD player software should have come with your Radeon. Install the "Multimedia Center" software from the CD's that came with your card.

My copy of the Pioneer 16x DVD drive came with PowerDVD on a CD, but it was a retail packaged drive.

In my opinon, if you have an ATi graphics card the ATi player works best with it.

I wonder how many warez messages you've gotten via PM.

Anyway, the best out there is PowerDVD.

Win DVD 2.3M(multichannel) has support for Radeon's dvd hardware acceleration options

tboo does it have support for all of radeon's features? i remember hearing it only has a partial support as opposed to the cinemaster ATI player...

 

[tboo]

the M version is supposed(according to an ATI tech) to have full support. The cinemaster version will do full support but you need to add some entries to the registry. Check this link out Link

The ATI software decoder definately has the best picture quality, but I haven't tried WinDVD since they added hardware support. I hope it works just as well as the ATI player because it has a much better interface.

I vouch for Power DVD 3.0. Try here.
