QuickTime Player
Just launch QuickTime Player, and there's no telling where you're likely to land. The Player may whisk you to the Moon or perhaps to an exotic location on this planet. Take you on a virtual field trip to the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum. Or treat you to the latest news, movie trailers, music videos, HBO series or PBS specials. That's because QuickTime 7 Player takes advantage of the latest video compression technology. It's called H.264, and it's an important new industry standard that's quickly garnered widespread support. Chosen as the industry-standard codec for 3GPP (mobile multimedia), MPEG-4 HD-DVD and Blu-ray, H.264 represents the next generation of video for everything from mobile multimedia to high-definition playback. H.264 icon.
PowerDVD
CyberLink has set the standard for home theatre viewing. The difference? CyberLink playback simply looks and sounds superior. CyberLink's new video technology gives movies more intense, natural colour and contrast, so you'll see more detail in those extra dark and extra light movie scenes.

Unlike most DVD player software, PowerDVD 8 can play movies directly from your hard drive; simply select the movie folder and press OK. You can program your mouse or computer keyboard to perform common commands like chapter selection, volume control, fast reverse/forward and more.
