I downloaded the software to play a PAL format DVD on my computer. Before the software finished downloading, the DVD played beautifully. Great stuff!

I would have to concur with the rest of the folks here... PowerDVD 7 Sucks...unless they have patched it up. I doubt it. PowerDVD 6 is better....but as already stated above, VLC Player RULES the lot. Much better support and its Free. Too many glitchy out of sync issues with divx and xvid playback. ffdshow is a good solid codec manager. If it doesn't work with that...then i suggest using your sales receipt for toilet paper. nfw

I don't know anyone who uses this piece of garbage ahead of WinDVD or other video players and to pay $ 65 plus for it is the ultimate insult.

I am a Nero user for sometime but having read this review I bought the software Power Dvd Deluxe. I wish I had not! $65 down the drain, I fear. It will not play any kind of DVD on my sytem, just starts and then apologetically cloese, sending an error file somewhere
