Blu-ray encompasses more than just one format, too: along with standard HD video, you've also got Blu-ray 3D and BD Live (for accessing Internet content during playback) to think about. Keep in mind that Windows still doesn't support Blu-ray playback natively, so you'll need some third-party software if you intend to play that disc format. Earlier versions of Windows couldn't play DVDs, but after Windows changed that, the playback software evolved with support for not only more disc media formats, but for Web- and file-based video as well. Most of them started life as players of DVDs, as the names WinDVD and PowerDVD suggest. To fully enjoy all of this video content, you'll want the optimal playback experience you get from good video-playback software.įor Windows users, the products included here offer just that. Add to this any video of your own, whether you shoot using an HD GoPro Hero ($476.45 at Amazon) (Opens in a new window), a DSLR, or even a smart phone. The number of options for movie and TV watching these days can be dizzying: You've got Netflix, Blu-ray, YouTube, DVD, and downloaded files just to name a few.
