Didn't care that much for WinDVD, I use PowerDVD.

One of my dvd drives brought PowerDVD with it and I'm quite happy with the program.

Same.. I use PowerDVD7.  Though admittedly, I can't say whether it's the best, as it's the only one I've used.  It serves it's purpose and has the features I needed so I didn't really feel the need to look around too hard.

If you're actually wanting to feed a large screen display from your PC (projector, plasma, etc) a lot of people rate TheaterTek very highly.

My first DVD Rom drive came with the OEM version of WinDVD (v3 back then), and I've never looked back.

I tried PowerDVD a few times, mostly after reading some people praise its greatness, but I guess it's a case of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it". I like WinDVD the way it is, so when I got to try PowerDVD, the interface felt all wrong, and the keys to accomplish basic tasks are different enough, so I just sticked with WinDVD.

I'm now at v8, and I've bought every version since.

For Windows XP: PowerDVD 6

For Windows Vista: PowerDVD 7.3

Personally, I liked PowerDVD 6 better, but alas it doesn't work with Vista.

WinDVD isn't too shabby either...

Nope, it's not compatible with Vista.

Vista has rather limited compatibility with many older Windows programs, so you are virtually forced to upgrade to newer versions.

I have WinDVD 8 Platinum, Nero 7 Ultra and PowerDVD 4...all good programs. But the one I find that I use most is the older PowerDVD 4.
