Cinema on your PC
With powerful audio and video
capabilities in computers today, it
is possible to enjoy a cinematic experience
out of your very home PC, minus all that
fancy home theater equipment. WinDVD i
an application that pioneers DVD playback
on home computers with a full basket of
features that rivals most consumer DVD
players. In its newest version, it extends its
range of capabilities with high-de? nition
H.264 support, MPEG-4 (DivX) playback
and support for a host of audio and video
processing technologies.
Sporting a simple interface, it is
functional and allows easy access to its
many features. Resembling a conventional
DVD player, the standard DVD control
buttons are easily accessible as part of the
main interface and can also be pulled out
to a separate panel on screen. The settings
menu allows access to its many audio and
video features such as the speaker controls
(ranging from stereo to 7.1-channel),
advanced video processing like the
TrimensionDNM which reduces blurring
during fast-moving video sequences
and several audio effects that simulate
real-world concert halls such as the Sydney
Theater, Chicago Theater, etc. We found
these effects to be interesting, but their
ef? cacy is subject to individual tastewe
tired of them after a while and reverted
back to the standard playback mode.
Among the newer features, the
application also supports Universal PnP
(UPnP) devices by which it can access
audio and video content on compatible
networked devicesideal for connected
digital homes. WinDVD 7 can also create
content on mobile video playback devices
like the iPod, the Sony PSP, PDAs and
mobiles. However, several of these
features are only available in the Gold or
Platinum version.
For: Comprehensive support for the latest
audio and video standards.
Against: The more exciting features need
to be purchased.
