Yep for sure

It does different frame rates pretty well, including 60 FPS stuff

How can I play PAL DVDs on my Windows 10 PC. Sorry, but I'm not technically knowledgeable on computers. Would appreciate help, please. I don't want to get locked in by my computer by getting stuck on only being able to play PAL DVDs. I'd like to play both PAL and Region 1 DVDs. Is this possible?

Hi Sheryl. On Windows 10, you have a number of choices to be able to play DVDs. One of those choices is to use PowerDVD, there are other choices too from alternative providers both free and commercial. The core feature of PowerDVD that no one else really does properly at the moment, is PowerDVD has full menu bluray disc support.

You needn't be concerned with NTSC or PAL. Every DVD player software will handle this automatically. Its just different standards to do with technical aspects of the DVD.

You do need to be concerned about region coding if you want to watch DVD's from multiple region codings. Some DVD players enforce DVD and Bluray region coding, some do not. For the DVD and Bluray players that do enforce region coding, there is a way to workaround it by using other software to do the decryption and to fake any DVD or Bluray region code a user might want, its called AnyDVD from Slysoft. The problem that Cyberlink faces in licensing all the technologies for Bluray and DVD is that all the licence agreements would no doubt force Cyberlink into doing certain things, like respect Bluray region coding and respecting prohibited user operations like queing in certain Bluray ads/notices etcetc.

If people want full menu bluray support and region free, most people will use PowerDVD and AnyDVD together.

I'm more confused than ever! I told you I'm not too bright when it comes to computers. I am thinking about getting an external dvd drive and use it for Region 2 dvds only.

But I want to thank you very much for trying to help me out. I'm sure your explanation makes perfect sense to someone more knowledgeable than me! Thanks again for taking the time to respond!

Sheryl if you want to only play DVDs and Bluray from one region, then PowerDVD allows you to set your desired region on a limited number of times.

I know. But I have a lot of DVDs from Britain, so I need both formats. I looked at the site you sent me and I'm considering purchasing it.



You have been more than helpful! I just want you to know I'm very grateful.
