Tools and other software What do you use to play Blu-ray ad HD-DVD discs? (1 Viewer)

I'm getting more and more annoyed with Cyberlinks PowerDVD, and am looking for a alternative.

There appears to be only two other apps that people are using to play their Blu-ray and HD-DVD discs. Arcsofts Totalmedia and Corels WinDVD.

Which are you using and if you've tried both, why did you choose the one you did?

I'm using Arcsoft (Total Media Theatre 3).. I tried it against PowerDVD and (totally subjectively) felt it gave a better image. It's played everything I've thrown at it and integrates fine with Moving Pictures.

PDVD works for me, so I'm using that. My PC had issues with Arcsoft TMT

I thought PDVD was good in the beginning, but 7 didn`t support dual monitors. I upgraded to 9, only to find out that while dual monitors is supported on XP, it isn`t in Vista, and to top it off, in 9 they removed HD-DVD support.

So, now I`m looking for a alternative.
