Which is the best DVD player, CD burner, Antivirus , video and music player that I can get?

As DVD program I use Interactual player; Nero or Roxio Easy CD creator (which is better?)  for CD burning; Norton; and Windows media player. Which other good alternate programs can I use?

I was just thinking about this, actually. Windows Media Player is far from the best, if you have good speakers and you buy a newer Creative Labs Soundcard you can get Creative Player, where WMP has a max-playback of 192kbs I'm getting around 400kbs playback on all my movies and Mp3's. Also, it supports MPEG's and DVD's, but if you don't have a Creative Card try Music Match Jukebox; it has some good bass and sound options too.

CDrom burning software : Nero

Antivirus : McAfee

[ although Norton has some very good products in the higher product range, the consumer version of there virus-scanner software isn't compareble to that and McAfee tends to beat them at that ]

just a remark. . .. mayby not a good one. But Norton conflicting with other software or using a lot of system resources in a way has nothing to do from it being a good anti virus program.

Shure it are some big side effects. . but if it preforms better as a virusscanner that way then as example McAfee. . .  for the task you need it for it is better suited...

DVD Player: Power DVD

CD Burner: Nero

Antivirus: AVG(because it has a free version, but is not the most user friendly...)

Music: Windows Media Player(The 9th edition of WMP has some serious bugs, but it's the best I can find. Beats even then new Winamp 5, because Winamp's media library is really poor)

For any of these programs, it doesn't really matter.  At best, it depends on what you plan to do with the program that matters.  My personal preferences are:

DVD:  Doesn't matter.  At home, I use the MSI Player that came with my drive.  Any one ill do, though.

Burner:  Nero, although Roxio EasyCD Creator is good too.  AGain, it doesn't really matter.

Antivirus:  Norton.  But I really haven't used anything different.  Norton suits my needs just fine.

Video:  Windows Media Player.  Why download something else when you have what you need already?

Audio:  I use WinAmp, because WMP doesn't support OGG files and whatnot.  I also like getting the plugins for it that will let me extract and play UMX (unreal engine games use this for music) files.  AT home, I use WinAmp 2.8, because WinAmp 3 is a resource hog, but at my apartment I use WinAmp 5.  It doesn't seem to be too bulky, leaving the bells and whistles at the plugins website.  If all you play are MP3s, just stick with WMP, though.

The PowerDVD player is wonderful because it's zonefree no matter what dvd player you use it on.

My dvd player, when used with Windows Media Player, can only play zone 2 dvds, but with PowerDVD, it can run all zones.

As for the DVD, what's wrong with a proper DVD player and a good TV. It is much better quality than watching it on computer in my opinion.

I agree with ghost, if you have a pair of crappy speakers you got for free winamp is fine if you sepent a bit on a good system.

creative player is the only way to rock my 7.1 system  8)
