Corel WinDVD playback software

Corel’s WinDVD Blu-ray Disc playback software is the first in the world to receive BD-Video Profile 1.1 certification. This means the software has passed the stringent standards and guidelines set by the Blu-ray Disc Association to ensure the best possible user experience. Features include picture-in-picture functionality to playback a smaller high-definition video in the corner of their screen while watching the high-definition movie on the background main screen, making it possible for movie fans can now watch the director’s commentary as an overlay to the action on screen. I’m not too sure how viewers can concentrate on the audio though as input from two different segments can be quite hard for viewers to decipher. WinDVD with BD-Video Profile 1.1 support will be available beginning early next year onwards. [Press Release]
