Guest ml Posted March 16, 2007 Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 I agree. Just make certain that if you get the message that "..... may be used by another program...do you want to uninstall it?"........ Answer No. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REDWAGON Posted April 6, 2007 Report Share Posted April 6, 2007 I'm curious why you want to remove it from your computer. Have you found another program that will replace it ? If so, which one ? Frank... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdanteek Posted April 6, 2007 Report Share Posted April 6, 2007 Don't know about the OP Frank. I got a WinDVD disc with a motherboard never did use it. I prefer CyberLink PowerDVD 7! cd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REDWAGON Posted April 6, 2007 Report Share Posted April 6, 2007 Whip out the WinDVD5 disc and install the program cd. try it and see what you think. I have about three copies of it that came with hardware also. I also have Power DVD, and Roxio's CinePlayer. They all are O.K. and are all compatible being installed on my computer. Frank...

cdanteek Posted April 6, 2007 Report Share Posted April 6, 2007 So now did you uninstall it after you tried it cd ?? What didn't you like about it ?? Frank... Yes I did, with no ill effects. The whole WinDVD interface seemed odd and clumsy to me. I couldn't find a frame capture in it. The cineplayer caused codec issues, I don't use it. cd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerman Posted April 6, 2007 Report Share Posted April 6, 2007 I'll throw in my support for PowerDVD. I've tried WinDVD in the past and it always caused problems with my codecs so I off it came. Actually, I find myself using VLC Media Player and Media Player Classic more. They're both faster and cleaner than PowerDVD. However, PDVD does have assume sound.

Beerman Posted April 7, 2007 Report Share Posted April 7, 2007 Did I say 'assume' sound? LOL, of course I meant 'awesome' sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
