What our customer's say!

"WinDVD 8 does not work properly on Windows Vista", WinDVD 8 has many problems on Windows Vista despite claims by its maker that it is compatible. If you run Vista, do not buy WinDVD.

You will find that the boxed retail version crashes when playing mpeg files. The download version behaves differently but fails to play audio when playing MPEG files (as opposed to DVDs).

Support from Corel/Ulead/Intervideo effectively does not exist. The software patch available from Corel fails to install properly. Also, they will not honor returns on the retail product.

If you still want to try this product, definitely do not buy the retail version. They offer a free trial download. Maybe it will work better for you. As for me, money down the drain.

"complete lemon", I ordered this software straight from the box so I wouldn't have any problems with setting it up. Too bad that the program required five calls to tech support and not one solution that actually worked. The guys there even admitted that the box version contained errors. Just in case, I even took my computer in to work and had the IT guys make sure all of the Windows XP stuff is up to date - which it was. MFC Application error - right out of the box? What the heck?!

I'm guessing that this software is actually pretty nice once you get it working. I've been using the free version that came with my computer - WinDVD 4 - and I like it. But poor marks to Intervideo for this lame version.



"difficult installation and support", first of all the installation asks for a serial number that you have to get from corel with your proof of purchase from amazon. than you have to email this proof to an address that does not exist. then make a phone call and wait on line for 12 minutes. Then creat an account online where you need your SERIAL NUMBER (which you dont have) in order to set up the account in order to send the email requesting help. Then wait for 24 hours for a reply. Mean while I am wasting my life away putting up with this nonsense. No I take that back I will throw this cd (WinDVD Gold 8) in the trash, and use another product.

"Best program I have purchased", I don't know why people are putting this program down. I purchased this program less then a week ago and I have had no problems with it at all. I never have used Quick time with it as that program does come as an option. I can use my talking screen reader to control the program since I never use a mouse. I like the rich sound that my Laptop Dell Lattitude D520 built in speakers give me. I want to hook up some louder speakers and use the surround sound feature that is built in to the program or even some standard headphones. Never have used the boss protection key to hide the program. I never had problems installing this program either as I didn't get this program on a cd. I downloaded it from Intervideo's website directly. Tech support was very friendly and I was able to get all questions and concerns answered. I have a copy of an older Windvd program and decided to update on my laptop. Will I get this for my desktop? No! As the old saying goes, "If it ain't broke, don't try to fix it." The older copy of the program runs on my desktop. What I have loved about Windvd is that the sound is very crisp, and clear. I also like the fact that I can run this with my screen reader without having to shut it off or put it to sleep. The picture is fabulous! I run it in full screen mode so that I can see everything that is going on or at least get an auditorial idea as to what's going on. [...], I do love this program and would support Windvd for a long time unless they made things unaccessible for myself or anyone else who used a screen reader.

"Retruned - did not work with my setup", Returned software as it crashed my computer several times before I uninstalled it.

I ran SATA RAID Verion 1 hard drives Mirror on an AMD 2500+ cpu. Software worked intermitantly. This software is likely in big trouble.I have since donated this computer and upgraded to Vista Home Premeium. Vista has what initially appears to be a very nice DVD decoder/viewer included.

First return with Amazon was smooth with account credit posted
