I Must Have Bought The Lemon...

by seracorde11 , Sep 13 '00
Pros: none from this product brand
Cons: Defective Product, Did Not Honor Warranty, Lousy Customer Service
Relying on Creative Labs reputation with sound cards, how could I go wrong with their pc-dvd? Looking at the other review ratings, I must have bought a lemon from Creative Labs. My pc-dvd did not even last me six months of minimal use.

Creative Labs PC-DVD Encore 8X with Dxr3

by surferdude7 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 10, Mar 15 '00
Pros: Best Video Quality I have seen.
Cons: Price is a little high.
I know this is listed under the Creative Labs Blaster DVD-ROM 6X, the 8x is new and there was no listing.

Wow! What a great DVD player. The player was easy to install because I took out my old CD-ROM drive and replaced it with the 8x DVD...

I'll cut out your gizzard!

by Guildencrantz Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Sep 19 '00
Pros: It's a 12x Creative with hardware decoding!
Cons: Early shipments require installing the Dxr3 driver manually.
This is a delayed addition to my chain of reviews about the computer I built. For those of you that haven't followed my work I built machine for hard work, but also to act as a full entertainment center.

Since I am a movie freak (god bless...

DVD on your PC...

by Feydrith , Jan 24 '00
Pros: Sharp Images; Great sound
Cons: No remote; some driver issues (easily fixed by exceptional tech support)
I recently upgraded from my older Creative Labs PC-DVD Encore 5x kit to the newer Encore 6x and boy was I impressed with the improvements. This drive definitely out performs the older 5x kit. The images on my monitor are crisper and clearer then they...

Fast and easy to install...

by kurt_h Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Jun 04 '00
Pros: Easy to install
Cons: Requires one open IRQ and one open IDE drive on secondary channel
I recently purchased the Creative Labs PC-DVD ROM (2x) with Dxr2 decoder card for a couple of reasons. The first is that as the next level of read-only media for distribution, the DVD looks to be a good alternative for the CD-ROM. I would not be...

Great Drive, but... (5x DXR2)

by Bananaswift , Jun 10 '00
Pros: Great drive, decoder is okay
Cons: Decoder not great on monitor, Software not very good
This is a pretty good drive. My brother and I bought this a few years ago when the stand alone DVD players were still over $400. It is a 5x DVD drive that includes Creative's DXR2 MPEG decoder card. I really like this DVD drive. It is a pretty fast...

Creatives DVD Drive -Great Value & Performance

by Destinys-Child Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Dec 27 '00
Pros: Great Player
Cons: Buggy Software
This was my Christmas present to myself this year. Ok well I admit it Christmas or not I was going to buy it, but Christmas was a good excuse.

At $169.99 it was a bit much to ask anyone to buy it for me (even though my girlfriends necklace...

Stop!! Dont Waste Your Money!!

by romeo68 , Mar 19 '00
Pros: Can Play DVD, and the decoder card lets you to hook up with the TV set
Cons: Just a DVD players that plays DVD on your computer mointor
Lots of you might heard many of good reviews about this DVD player. I own this DVD player myself, and I can tell you, it was a big mistake. First, during DVD playing on Window 98, the DVD will stop playing almost evertime, it is very unstable,...

No movies for me

by galvtexguy , Feb 17 '01
Pros: None so far
Cons: According to tech support, the Dxr3 decoder card will not work with certain monitors
I purchased the retail version of CL's PC-DVD Encore 12X with the Dxr3 decoder card. After installing, my monitor screen was very dim and had a reddish hue to it. It was impossible to see my desktop, much less watch a movie. After spending 90 minutes...

Simple to use, clean and effective.

by skunkworks , Nov 18 '99
Pros: Simple to install, great performance even without high-powered CPU
Cons: Creative Labs Tech Support
Preamble: The Creative Labs DVD-ROM 6x DxR3 is very similar to the 5x DxR2, the only difference being 1x faster and having a slightly different model. They both have excellent performance.

Being a movie fanatic, I dreamed of owning a DVD-ROM....

Great Performance

by ltowell , Dec 22 '99
Pros: Great performance, easy install
Cons: Needs more NT instructions
This DVD drive reads CD-ROM data at 24X and DVD-ROM data at 6X. It supports multiple DVD-ROM and CD-ROM formats including CD-R and DVD-R. I would not purchase the drive without the addition of the Creative Dxr3 DVD Decoder Board. This provides the...

Great Buy

by kdogg , Jan 19 '00
Pros: inexpensive, solid quality
Cons: can be difficult to setup properly
Creative labs is a trusted brand with affordable products. The DXr3 board that comes with the dvd player is great. There is no comparison between the quality of the board vs. decoder software. If you can find the 5x with the dxr3 board for about...
