Editor's review of AVS DVD Player

Like a Hollywood facade, this freeware media player looks good from the front but lacks substance.

We like AVS DVD Player's clear-cut interface and its support for playlists and bookmarks. We were duly impressed with its claimed ability to transform stereo sound to 5.1 or 7.1 surround, assuming you have such a setup (we didn't test this feature). Unfortunately, performance issues soured the butter on our popcorn. AVS DVD Player took a few minutes to open a DVD.

We also found a minor bug that caused a selected menu item to flicker on top of the movie in full-screen mode. The Rip button made us believe for a moment the program could grab DVDs, but to our disappointment it just linked to a page for the company's for-pay conversion utility. AVS DVD Player isn't a bad option, exactly, but you can find better-performing freeware players that do as much or more.

  player is good,but

  by: yaryan123 on 11-Jun-2008 05:16:14 PM

  Pros: I like the player and the burner quick and easy to use..........But

  Cons: If you copy something like a dvd of old family 8mm films to give to the family. The people you give it too have to have the same program downloaded on their computer also. And won't run on a dvd player on a tv

  Works great! Better then Windows Media Viewer

  by: DressUpYourPet on 21-Jun-2008 09:50:38 PM

  Pros: fast download. Fast install. Simple interface and easy to figure out the controls. My legal store-bought copy of Apocalypse Now caused a "copyright violation" message on Windows media piece of crap (it plays fine on my laptop). Downloaded this player and will keep using it. It only took 15 seconds to start the DVD (not a few minutes). Great Freeware.
