    I get a choice of either one. I'm curious if there is any difference between the two.

    thanks.

    i would get power dvd6, and thats only cuz i have it already :)

    i have never had problems with power dvd, it has tons of features, the interface is very strait fwd. even has a capture button for screen shots! (You cannot capture screenshots if your video is being displayed as an overlay, in order to turn that off you would have to disable HW acceleration)
