Lol, j/k

Hey btw, do you have "The Blueprint" from Jay-Z? I'm really interested in how the Ultra sub handles this one track. If you don't, I can "show you how to get it". hehe

powerdvd xp deluxe 4.0

I've tested the pm5.1s with powerdvd xp4.0 dlx, powerdvd 5, windvd 5 platinum (newest one).

The best vid quality is from windvd unfortunately, because powerdvd 5 seems to have the best sound of them all.

I dont like the userinterface of windvd plat(newest one) compared to powerdvd 5.

I like the fact you can set the dynamic range to reference levels so it has more impact in powerdvd5, its very buggy in windvd and sometimes it resets itself.

I agree with you that WinDVD Platinum has better image quality, but are you sure that PowerDVD 5 wins under the sound quality? WinDVD Platinum has (I found it some what hidden) Trusurround and SRS features to make the sounds sound better. When I turned these features on AND adjusted them I found it that they performed better than PowerDVD 5's sound quality.
But with the features off from both, i'll agree, PowerDVD5 is better in sound quality. Although I find it important to add that they both play sound great

dont you have to buy the "multi-channel" versions of windvd and powerdvd in order to get full 5.1 support? and arent both of those programs like $70 a pop? thats too much for DVD software when you can buy a stand-alone dvd player for $80.

Kazaa.

Or just buy a Revo and you'll get it included. This is one reason why I'm so close to getting it...

Most DVD drives (my DVD/CD-RW combo did) come with DVD software.

I received the free 'basic' PowerDVD 4.0, which I paid like $25 to have upgraded with the 'multi-channel sound pack'. $25 for great DVD software isn't a bad choice, IMO.

I think the next thing I'll be doing is upgrading to PowerDVD 5.0

yea, i think i have about 4 copies of that lying around
