LinDVD from Corel was commercial proprietary software for Linux for the playback of DVDs and other multimedia files. The latest version supported ultra-mobile PCs (UMPCs) and mobile internet devices (MIDs), as well as a streaming media and a wider range of standard and high-definition video and audio encoding standards.[2]

LinDVD can play DVDs copy protected with Content Scramble System (CSS). Certain distributions like Mandriva have included this software in their commercial Linux distributions, and Dell preinstalled it on some Ubuntu systems.[3]

Corel removed all information about LinDVD from their webpage and it is no longer supported.[citation needed]
