Use WinDVD to watch DVDs on the computer.

WinDVD makes it possible for you to watch all of your DVDs in your home collection on your desktop or laptop. What's impressive about the software is that you can enjoy HD-quality images along with theatre-like sound within the program even when watching a standard DVD.

There is broad format support, which means you will have the ability to watch any DVD that you have without a problem. The interface is intuitive and pops up as soon as you place a DVD in your computer. It will acknowledge that you have a DVD and walk you through the menu so that you can begin watching the movie inside of the program.

The software is packed with features. A battery optimization tool allows you to watch movies wherever you go without having to worry about plugging in. You will also be able to hide the navigation bar so that you can have a sleeker, cleaner look while watching a movie.

If you have the right connections, you can play a DVD on your computer with WinDVD and have it show up on your home theater system. This is ideal if you do not have a dedicated DVD player for your home setup. You will not need it when you have this program because it provides the quality that you are looking for concerning the picture and the sound.

When you have DVDs and you do not have a dedicated DVD player, WinDVD is one of the best choices that are on the market. State-of-the-art technology is built into the program so that you can enhance your overall viewing experience with any DVD that you have – even one that is several years old and does not have the HD quality that movies currently have.

This means that even cheap, old DVDs look like new when you use WinDVD. The program is free and it can be downloaded straight to your computer. The trial version is a little over 100 MB, so make sure that you have the room for it on your hard drive. As long as you have the room and the DVD drive on your computer, you are good to go with this program.

It has been tested extensively and the reviews across the Internet about WinDVD has been premium. It works with multiple versions of Windows, so whether you have XP, 7 or 8, you are ready to begin watching movies. As soon as you download the program, it will walk you through the overall set up and ask you to make it the default player for DVDs and any other movies that you might have already saved on your computer.

WinDVD is just a player, so you will not be able to make any conversions with it, but it is a great player.
