WinDVD Pro Editor's Review

View DVD's on your computer with this must have Windows-based DVD player.

Back in the day, I remember that playing DVD's on your Windows based PC wasn't always cut and dry. While Windows media player could actually display the content, it didn't by default, as it didn't have the appropriate video codecs installed for it by default.  In order to do that on Windows XP and any version of Vista other than Vista Ultimate, you needed a third party DVD player installed.  That's when I found and fell in love with WinDVD Pro. It’s one of the best soft DVD players available for your Windows PC.

WinDVD Pro is advanced 2D, 3D, AVCHD and Blu-ray player software. The newest version supports not only 3D playback technology, but 2D to 3D conversion, and HD upscaling. If you're into the 3D experience, its conversion capabilities allow you to convert and enjoy your movies in full 3D definition. 2D to 3D conversion is supported for DVD-Video and standard and high-definition video files. WinDVD Pro provides you not only with support for Blu-ray 3D, NVIDIA 3D Vision Shutter Glasses and XpanD Polarized Glasses, it also includes anaglyph 3D glasses the box version of the software. 

You can use WinDVD Pro to quickly search online video sites and find your favourite movies at the best prices with the new Corel FlixFinder. With it, you can browse videos by category, compare prices, and bookmark and select your favorites, all from its convenient search screen.

Pro’s: Support for most standard and enhanced video formats including Blu-ray, STD & HD, 2D & 3D, on the fly conversion

Conclusion: WinDVD Pro is one of the best movie player applications available today. If you're looking for Blu-ray and 3D support as well as upconversion support, look no further. This is the software to have and use.
