Well I have officially tried each of the three DVD/MP3 Bundles currently offered
for XP which are Cyberlink XP Powerpack, Cinemaster by Ravisent and Intervideo XP
Pack. I tried each one in the order shown. This post is for those who are interested
in these bundles but keep in mind that results may differ for each person.
Cyberlink - Had troubles with DVD but MP3 Encoder worked fine. DVDs would not play
on limited accounts or with hardware acceleration enabled.
Cinemaster - Had troubles with MP3 Encoder, it would not work. DVD play back was
good but would not play on limited accounts and had some trouble with hardware acceleration.
Intervideo - This one works great for me. DVD, MP3, Hardware acceleration and DVDs
work on limited accounts. I disabled hardware acceleration after comparing the image
quality and finding that disabled looked better. Then I read the Read-Me file and
it even states that image quality would most likely be better with hardware disabled.
Hardware acceleration really is not needed on higher end systems anyway but might
come in handy on lower end systems.
Just some info.. hope it helps some of you in your decisions. If you are planning
on a bundle or just DVD Decoder, I would start in opposite order that I tried since
each one was an improvement of some sort. Cost of each is identical.
