Super PowerDVD is one of the best software DVD-players around. It features all the functions you’d expect to see in a DVD player. In addition to DVD playback (with Dolby Digital and DTS decoding), PowerDVD is capable of viewing VideoCDs and multi-channel Super VideoCDs which makes it an excellent tool for quick and easy testing of (Super)VideoCDs created following our guides.
CyberLink PowerDVD is a commercial media player for Microsoft Windows. The latest version of the software is PowerDVD 9. Several editions of the software are sold including: Ultra, Deluxe and Standard. All editions support the viewing of DVD but only the Ultra edition supports Blu-Ray playback.
The product is distributed via physical install media (CD) or via download from the Cyberlink website. PowerDVD is often bundled with a variety of PC systems and peripherals (particularly optical drives)
High Definition DVD support was included in some versions of PowerDVD 7 but was removed from PowerDVD 8 because there will be limited new releases in this format as it is no longer supported by any major studio. It can be re-enabled through a workaround. Cyberlink advises users who want to keep HD DVD playback to buy the Ultra editions of PowerDVD 7 and 8 which can be installed together on the same system.
