This DVD player software includes a playback SDK ActiveX that can play DVD movies, including CSS-protected discs or files from a hard disk. It allows users to control playback with features such as play, pause, stop, fast forward, and backward, as well as menu selection for Title, Root, Sub-picture, and Audio Language.

One of the standout features of this software is the range of controls it offers during playback. Users can play, pause, stop, fast forward and backward, and even step forward. It also includes menu selection options for Title, Root, Sub-picture, and Audio Language selection.
The software comes equipped with high-performance de-interleave technology that ensures smooth playback. Additionally, users can programmatically select specific menu buttons and activate them as desired. This is especially useful for those looking to create bespoke DVD playback experiences.
Another great feature of this software is the ability to fully control sound volume. And, for users who want to take things to the next level, it supports Full Screen mode with the ability to define specific keyboard keys or mouse buttons to clear the full screen.
One of the things I appreciated most about this software was how easily it could be integrated into other applications. It's compatible with any programming language that supports ActiveX, including Access, Visual C++, Visual Basic, Visual Foxpro, Delphi, and .Net.
Additional updates to the software have expanded on its capabilities. For example, the added OpenDVDPath method makes it easy to open a DVD image stored in a specific folder. And, the EnableSpanMultiMonitor property allows for playback across multiple monitors if you have a multi-monitor display card.
New methods have also been added to allow users to make changes to the brightness, contrast, hue, and saturation of video, adjust the audio pitch or speed, and change the deinterlace mode. The software also comes with digital signing for ocx and executable installer files as well as vb.net 2010 samples and fixes for issues running the software on 64-bit OS systems.
Overall, I found the DVD player playback SDK ActiveX to be a powerful and versatile tool for DVD playback. And, with the ability to fully customize the user experience, it's a great option for developers looking to create their own DVD playback software.
