WinDVD: First Blu-ray Playback Software to Achieve Blu-ray Profile 1.1

Corel Corporation, known for its graphics, productivity, and digital media software, has announced that its WinDVD Blu-ray playback software is the first software package to receive BD-Video Profile 1.1 certification.

When the newly certified WinDVD software becomes available in early 2008, the picture-in-picture functionality required for the certification will enable users to watch a high-definition movie on their computer screen while at the same time watching a separate high-def window in the top corner of the screen featuring the director's commentary.

Definitely not mind-blowing, but handy nonetheless.
