ShiningSoft Shining DVD Player

In the eventuality that you want to have control over the video and audio settings as well as enhance the playback, even if just slightly, then one of the things you cannot go wrong with is a DVD player.

As the name suggests, ShiningSoft Shining DVD Player is a tool dedicated to helping you play videos directly from the disc, without too much hassle.

Comes with a clean and user-friendly interface

Following a quick and uneventful installation, you come face to face with the splash window where you are prompted to either add a file or specify the path to the disc. The video starts playing automatically, so you will be happy to learn that you do not need further configuration or to worry about having the right pack of codecs installed on your PC.

The application comes with a modern interface, most of which is dedicated to the video. Nevertheless, it would have been useful if the menu would auto-hide when you add the video for a more immersive experience.

Allows you to play directly from the disc and can read TS folders

The highlight of the program stems from the fact that it can read the discs directly and therefore, displays the titles as well as the chapters included. Moreover, it consists of a navigation panel and comes with functions that let you jump forward or backward of the current section conveniently.

In addition to the standard controls available with any application in this category, the program also packs Video Effect settings that enable you to adjust the brightness, hue, contrast, gamma and saturation of the videos that you are playing. It would have been nice if the app also included advanced features that permit you to synchronize the audio with video and subtitles for instance.

A straightforward tool for playing DVDs on your computer

In spite of the fact that the app lacks advanced features, ShiningSoft Shining DVD Player is an easy-to-use program that can read discs directly and hence, allows you to enjoy your movies directly on your computer
