DVD Decoder

If your computer refuses to play DVDs, most likely the problem is that you do not have a DVD decoder installed. In new operating systems, for example, in Windows 7 (all versions are higher than the initial one), the DVD playback capability is built in initially, but in an outdated and still popular XP, this feature was not provided.

Interestingly, after studying the experience of introducing DVD to Windows 7, in its next OS (Windows 8), Microsoft again refuses to embed the DVD decoder. The official position of the company is: "We spent a lot of money on licensing DVD-reading technology for the seventh version, and on a significant number of computers that were equipped with our OS, there was not even a DVD-ROM installed."

So, what is required to make your computer running WinXP play DVD?

The simplest and most correct way is to install a program to work with this format, which has a DVD decoder, and much more.

I recommend that you make a choice in favor of the world-famous PowerDVD package. Since the twelfth version of it recently appeared, which has a huge number of different features built in, including no other utilities in any other applications. If you installed PowerDVD, then the question of where to get and how to install the DVD decoder for you is no longer relevant.

The application has a very convenient interface with the ability to select various design options, and it is perfectly customizable for the user's needs.

Many specialists agree that the DVD decoder of the PowerDVD program is one of the best in the industry, with it you can instantly rewind movies from beginning to end while the process is smooth and you can see every single frame that flashes on the screen.

In addition to the DVD itself, the application can show those movies whose formats are known to Windows Media Player. In addition, she knows how to work with MPEG1 and MPEG2, MKV, FLV, WTV, 3GP and others. If you need to take a screenshot from your favorite movie, you can easily do it with it, (pictures are saved in BMP format).

You will be provided with the following functions: image adjustment, section repeat, scrolling with the mouse wheel and memorizing the stop point. With already well-known fans of this application with the Movie Collection option, you can easily create whole video collections, adding your reviews to them, inserting covers, and then sharing all this wealth with other users, in which the MoovieLive service will help you. If your PC is configured to work with DLNA, then you no longer need to store all the movies on your computer, just connect to the server and all the richness of multimedia content at your service, and this applies to devices with OS from Apple and even tablets and smartphones On Android.

If you like to view a popular video from the network, for example from the Youtube portal, or enjoy photos on networks such as Flickr and Facebook, you will be able to evaluate your own and other people's creations directly from the PowerDVD interface.

The new version provides hardware support for the decoding process, the dvd decoder works with the latest technologies developed by Nvidia, AMD and Intel. This significantly reduces the load that traditionally lays before only on the CPU, and redistributes it between the CPU and the video core.

Three technologies implemented in the product, such as: HDMI 1.4, Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio - are the key to ensuring that the sound in movies you get the highest quality.

Do you think that after all this development fountain you will already be difficult to surprise? But I'll try: in this version you can control the playback not only with the traditional mouse and keyboard. How do you like it if you are told that you can do the same with such common devices as the iPhone, iPad or the growing popularity of smartphones under Android?
