I don't know maybe it's gotten better, but Cyberlink burned that bridge with me a long time ago. The software is crap IMO, not designed for home theater use. Even then it doesn't make much sense since most laptops don't even have ODDs anymore.Ĭlick to expand.I haven't used PowerDVD in probably a decade, and have no intention of starting now.

I'm guessing it's just so it can be featured on some new higher-end laptops with 4K screens. It's pretty strange they even bothered with PC at all. The irony is I'm thinking the main people that will be interested in putting together a compatible machine for UHD playback are going to be the ones trying to crack it-so they have a platform to work and test with. Just get a cheap standalone you can get or an Xbone S and call it a day instead. I think for UHD-BD it's really pretty futile to use a PC. However it seems everyone already knows about the crazy/particular requirements for UHD playback so.more crickets? :lol:ĭon't get me wrong I still use PDVD (v16) but the popularity of the software is long gone and the restrictive nature of UHD ain't gonna help PDVD gain any!

Given this version has an actually-significant new feature in UHD-BD playback you'd think this thread would be more popular. I think it's been that way since version 12-13 or so?. I remember the days when a new version of PDVD would release (7.x, 8, 10) and this thread would have been like 10 pages already.

What does cyberlink powerdvd 17 do
