TheaterTek DVD is a DVD player for Windows. The application jumps on the bandwagon of home theater DVD players but does not really get it all well-done. As a rule, HT players are supposed to be fairly simple, and TheaterTek DVD does that just fine. It allows you to simply insert a DVD and hit play. The quality is outstanding, and many formats are supported. The developers worked closely with NVidia to offer support for their video decoders, so users with Nvidia cards should benefit the most.
The application has many other great features as well. The auto-resume function is of particular interest. If you stop a DVD, the application will remember where you were and it will resume from there next time. There is support for international DVDs and many HD sound formats work great out of the box.
However, I don't see why TheaterTek DVD is so stubborn not to play Divx files. There are many open-source libraries that allow apps to do this, but I just couldn't get a file to open. For DVDs, however, the application couldn't be any better. All the options are easily accessible and there are installation files for several remote controls. In short, if you have a computer in your living room hooked up to your big TV, TheaterTek DVD does a good job of playing DVDs, but so do thousands of free applications.
