The Newly Introduced Features.Īs mentioned earlier, the most interesting new feature in PowerDVD 20, is the clout of CyberLink’s online storage infrastructure for storing, sharing, and remotely viewing movies. If it’s a cool new feature or if it were a cool new feature, CyberLink had got it covered - at least for the Ultra version. The $100 Ultra and 365 ($55 annually) versions of PowerDVD support all the new(some not so new) technologies like the 3D, 360-degree video with Spatial Audio,8K UHD, HDR and more. It also pins YouTube videos for offline viewing - well, isn’t that just wonderful! Power DVD is capable of streaming videos from different sources like YouTube and Vimeo. However, not all these are available with all hardware, and your PC needs to support it before PowerDVD can give it to you. The program is also a more than capable librarian and organizer with playlist, rankings, and the likes.Įven though it’s not quite friendly with antiques, the PowerDVD’s true treasure lies init’s TrueTheater enhancements: image/color correction and enhancement, motion enhancement to make motion smoother. We’ll seem we can’t eat our cake and have it when it comes to video support. Some legal (Real Media) and codger codecs (some AVC and some FLV) that VLC would handle with ease won’t play or sometimes play as only audio. It’s also capable of playing the most popular video, audio, and image files, although it’s not exactly so universal as the company tells us in adverts. It’s still capable of doing just that as well as supporting new Blu-ray and Ultra HD Blu-ray movie discs if you’ve got an HDCP- capable GPU. Well, no price for guessing that the program started as a tool to play DVD movies (including copy-protected commercial titles) from a PC. Standard Featuresīefore we get into the new stuff that the Ultra version gives us, let’s take a somewhat basic look into what makes the PowerDVD 20 better than other DVD players out there. CyberLink provides the Power Remote App that can be used to control the TV Mode on your smartphone. PowerDVD features two modes: The PC mode suitable for computers, and the TV Mode designed especially for TVs. The all-in-one premium media player for windows released it’s the latest version of the PowerDVD 20 on April 14, 2020.
