VLC will probably be able to do it, unless they are HD-DVD/Blu-Ray rips.

But does PowerDVD can read HD from DVD only or from a hard drive as well???

Are you sure you have an HDCP compliant monitor or TV? I think you also have to have it connected via DVI or HDMI (there is no HDCP over VGA, component, or composite video). Also, I think HD playback on PC software (like PowerDVD) is still in the beta stage, so there might not actually be software available to play the content yet (at least not free software).

Ahh here we go.

Alright, the computer can try all it wants to play the movie at full 1080p resolution, but if your monitor isn't a 1080p monitor, you're not seeing it in 1080p my friend. In this case it's a TV, and of course it can play HD content...but I think your TV is 720p/1080i. If so, it won't play at 1920x1080 (impossible, of course) it will play at either 1280x720, or 1366x768.

Are they images or AVIs? If it's an image, then run Daemon Tools and use a virtual drive. It'll work just like a regular drive and PowerDVD should go dandy.

If it's an AVI (or other format), go for VLC HD.

EDIT: Where can I find VLC HD anyways? I thought I had it.
