Corel, a graphics and digital media software developer, announces today the latest release of Corel WinDVD. Corel WinDVD 9 Plus Blu-ray will feature a new interface, enhanced up-scaling of standard definition DVDs and Blu-ray Disc support.
“WinDVD 9 Plus Blu-ray is designed for the movie buff, frequent flyer and those who want a superior video and audio playback experience in one easy-to-use solution,” said Jeff Hastings, President and General Manager, Digital Media at Corel.

WinDVD 9 Plus Blu-ray retails for $99.99. WinDVD 9 Plus (without Blu-ray support) retails for $79.99.
