PowerDVD 5 Review
After reading all the negative reviews here at Amazon, I decided to try PowerDVD 5 myself and this is what I have to say: after installing the software I tried to play a copyrighted DVD and PowerDVD would give me an error message "can't play copyrighted DVD's". I contacted CyberLink customer service by email and they advised me to download a patch. After installing the patch everything worked fine. I'm pretty satisfied with PowerDVD 5, it runs fine, even on my old IBM notebook with Pentium III processor. Can't be beaten at that price!

Needs More Than the Minimum - Christopher J. Cotter - Sarasota, FL United States
I have an older computer. Even though it meets the minimum requirements to run this software, my computer struggles to do so. DVD playback is choppy.
I have a software CPU meter which acts as a computer resource monitor. It pegs out to the very max when attempting to play a DVD with PowerDVD 5. Do not buy this product unless you have more RAM and a faster processor than that listed.
Pleasantly Surprised and Relieved - Gregory Wilson - Las Vegas, NV USA
I had heard good and bad about PowerDVD 5, but since upgrading to Windows XP I hadn't been able to play DVD's on my computer so I ordered PowerDVD 5. The price was right and I figured I really had nothing to lose! Installation was incredibly easy, and the picture and sound qualities are great! The controls are extremely easy to use, and the instructions are a snap to understand. I am very glad I ordered PowerDVD 5, and I recommend it highly.
