Having said that it’s not without its faults. Most noticeable is that you can’t select WinDVD 9 for playing only some video and audio file formats, as it does not use file associations. This means you can’t designate it as your default player for MPEG-2 HD and use something else for MOV and WAV files. Also, load times for movies stored on your HDD are long. Still, while it’s not entirely perfect, Corel has a winner on its hands - at least until the next release of PowerDVD."</em><br /><br /><img border="1" src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/500/dht/auto/1208125646.usr10.jpg" alt="" /><br /><br />Sure, there are cheaper and free options that do a nice job of playing video on the PC.
