VLC is possibly the best dvd playback program i have ever experienced. its so simple to use too. had this weird file format, forgot what it was, but it was all these folders and stuff. i couldnt play it with anything, and then i just dragged and dropped in into VLC, and it started playing... wow.
 
Media Player Classic, IMO, has a better interface than VLC. I just find it easier to use and easier to go through the settings in media player classic too.
Not that it really matters, there both free.

I use PowerDVD since it came with a DVD player somewhere along the line.
Same here. I've also used Windows Medial Player 10 but I think I prefer PowerDVD. And, I'm getting Nero 6.6 from an ebay purchase; haven't received it yet but will try the Nero ShowTime 2 that comes with it, although that is not the reason I bought it.

So the PureVideo decoder can improve DVD quality just by using it?


edit: Damn, only 3 supported players after I get the damn Purevideo decoder? So that, new drivers, one of the 3 crappy supported players (I said above can't stand PowerDVD, and Iwon't let WMP 10 anywhere near my hard drive, so I guess I'll try WinDVD to test out if it looks any better), then additional programs too, plus something to encode. Damn... not sure if I feel like spending half my time this weekend messing with that stuff!

purevideo is a joke. nvidia charges for it and it is in no way superior to ati's video solution whihc is free.
 
Do skins really change the interface -that is the ergonomics of layout and menus or simply cosmetically tart it up?

cosmetic (kòz-mèt´îk) noun
2. Something superficial that is used to cover a deficit or defect.
