Besides the increased data storage, what else is special about DVD?

The special thing about DVD is that it was developed in conjunction with the film industry. This co-development provides a common format for pre-recorded movies and computer software. Each side of the disc can hold over 2 hours of motion video (movies) with tremendous picture quality surpassing analog Laserdisc and digital satellite TV. DVD also supports multi-channel Surround Sound audio such as Dolby Laboratory's AC-3. With the added data storage capacity and availability of motion video, DVD will revolutionize interactive entertainment and educational software in the years to come.

How to install the pure-software version or the hardware-accelerated version of PowerDVD?

PowerDVD will automatically detect the type of video graphic card, and will install either its pure-software version or hardware-accelerated version according to what it has detected. If your video graphic card doesn't support an acceleration function, PowerDVD will perform qua pure software. If your video graphic card does have a chip with acceleration function, there will be an "Use Hardware Accelerator" option for your choice on the "DVD Playback Setup" dialog box (invoked by pressing the "Config button\DVD playback setup").

Note that this "Use Hardware Accelerator" option, if available, can only be enabled only when PowerDVD is currently in Stop mode.

Our recommended solution is to remove your MPEG-2 hardware decompression card, or to turn it off through Control Panel\System\Device
