I decided to do a reinstall of WinXP following a major hardware failure.

I currently have the following choices available for a software DVD Player

Intervideo DVD/MP3 XPack
Cyberlink DVD/MP3 XPack
Intervideo WinDVD 5

Would appreciate your thoughts/suggestions.

System: Intel P4 1.8ghz
512mb RAM
ATi Radeon 8500

On both my systems running NVidia graphic cards, NVDVD 2.55 gives me the best quality & lowest CPU utilization hands down.

On non-NVidia cards, Power DVD 5.0 seems the best.

I don't think CPU utilization is as critical as it used to be with slower CPU's however it is nice to see this so you know that the coder(s) have tweaked the app and it's not as resource hungry
