My previous version of PowerDVD was 12. Version 14 is a much cleaner interface. Navigation is a snap and playback of DVD, BD and MP4 is seamless. But there are two things that really bug me about 14 though. First, it gives strange thumb nail images to files. I have home video I called Halloween 2006. It placed the movie cover of the movie Halloween as the thumb nail for my home movie. Some Nights music video gets Phoenix Nights movie thumb nail, etc, etc. So you really have to read the title and not look at the image to see what you might be playing. Second, I cant find a way to make it play a mounted ISO file as if it were a disc which is kind of why you mount a movie file. It shows the file as a disc with lots of VOB files but there is no way to launch it that I can figure out. The only way I have found is to go to Windows explorer and open the IFO file for the movie with PowerDVD 14. On version 12 you just right click the folder and choose play. Bummer .
