powerdvd 5, powerdvd 6 and powedvd XP

shuki · Sep 15, 2003, 10:24 AM

what is the difference in these three apps? I assume powerdvd 6 is new and improved version of powerdvd 5 but where does powerdvd XP come into play?? and which is the best?

Well there isnt a PowerDVD 6

However there is PowerDVD 4 (which later became PowerDVD XP) and PowerDVD 5

The differences between these 2 is the inclusion of better DivX support in PowerDVD 5 and better video and audio options

We actually just bought 5 recently and it definitely rocks

I have used and like PowerDVD 4 quite a bit. I did try out PowerDVD 5 recently, and still have it one one machine, but there seems to be someplayback issues with SVCD's. I tried the patch, and still no good. Really annoyed me actually as I like the improvements in the interface of 5.

I have the PowerDVD XP version and it works fine for DVD's, I would like to checkout version 6 though, is the demo limited to 5 minutes of playback?
