Power DVD sux in terms of sound of pir. dvds
WINDVD is sys heavy but has excellent sound but is less popular due to lack of distributions with drives or players

PowerDVD 6 Deluxe along with all plug-ins – the best in my opinion.

Zoom Player professional with FFDSHOW filters. Nothing comes close to this combo. Recommended by home theatre freaks at HTPC news.

WMP10 lacks decent dvd menu navigation. Also, you need to install WinDVD or PowerDVD first so WMP can use their MPEG2 decoding filters. MPEG2 decoders aren't included by default in Windows as they aren't free.

I used to like PowerDVD, but now I like VLC player.
* It's free and light on system resources.
* It cuts all the Cr@p before the movie interface, that movie company logo and stuffs like that 
But the navigations are not as good as PowerDVD.

WinDVD
WinDVD is my favorite but some time Nero Showtime do better then WinDVD. 
ffdshow filters are available in KL lite Mega codec pack or they can be downloaded seperately. Once Digit come with this combo on the DVD.
In my personal experience this is not so good combo. I have faced several problems while encoding some movie clips to MPEG2 and MPEG formats.This is solved after uninstalling KL lite Mega codec pack. ffdshow will take all control in the system and whenever any application try to decode MPEG2 movies, it will automatacally open in background and works. But it seems not so good for me as I have to encode several movies frequently. :roll:

Newer (2005) builds don't do that. Anyway, it's easily fixed by setiing ffdshow video decoder configuration>codecs. Check disabled next to formats you don't wan't ffdshow to handle.

FFDShow will postprocess the video decoded by WinDVD filter. For more info use this link. Try WinDVD + Media Player Classic + FFDShow combo. Set up FFDShow as mentioned here. (Tip: Decrease resize resolution to 1024x768 to reduce load on CPU.)
http://htpcnews.com/main.php?id=ffdshowdvd_1
FFDShow can also decode MPEG4 (Xvid/DivX/etc) as a standalone decoder with far superior decoding quality. I use Windows Media Player + FFDShow combo for MPEG4.
