CyberLink PowerDVD 22 Ultra | Award-Winning Blu-ray, DVD, & Media Player Software | Play Virtually Any File Format [Retail Box with Download Card]

Works great on my laptop.

The software works well and so far has played all of my Blu-ray discs thus far. This is an issue with Windows machines. However getting a working copy on both my desktop and laptop has not been without issues. I bought this software here and a copy on-line since I want it on two computers. That may sound odd, but I did not intend to order the software here but it got mixed into a larger order. The on-line copy installed and I was able to validate it and it performs as I noted above. The boxed copy however does not work. The Product key provided is coming up invalid invalid. Waiting for Cyberlink to fix the error. You wont be disappointed with the software, but go to Cyberlinks site you will be much happier.

I purchased this Cyberlink PowerDVD 22 Ultra software to play 4K UHD Blu-ray discs on my MSI TITAN GT77 4K laptop computer with an 11th generation Intel CPU. The PowerDVD 22 software NO LONGER SUPPORTS either Blu-ray or 4K UHD Blu-ray disc playback. Unfortunately, I learned this AFTER buying a new laptop, 4K optical drive, Sony OLED A95K TV, and this useless Cyberlink PowerDVD 22 Ultra software.... Caveat Emptor. FYI - I also tried the VLC player and DIVX player software with no luck.

Installed and worked perfectly on my PC NAS arcade..... Problem is the machine completely died power surge blow the mother board, GPU and M.2. So I cant use on another machine, purchased another hope this works out better.

PowerDVD 22 is disappointing. My main issue is its selective in which Blu-ray discs it chooses to play. For example, it wont play Cowboy Bebop: The Complete Series, but itll play Cowboy Bebop: The Movie. Huh? In another instance, the anime film, Redline, wont play, but Black Lagoon: The Complete Collection plays with no issues. I have over fifty Blu-ray films and shows, and its hit or miss on what PowerDVD 22 will actually play. Buying this product has been highly regrettable. I hope everyone else has better luck than I did. Thank you.

I just received this so far it’s great I’m new at this so it will take me awhile to forgive it all out

I find this entire product odious. What they are selling: the world What you are buying: an opportunity to buy the world, maybe. In the end, you are getting an interface for your pre-existing DVD player. That you can have forever. What is also eternal is the opportunity to upgrade it as the barrage of pop ups and emails you get will advise you. The feature -- the cloud storage, the enhanced visuals, the 8K are yours for a trial period. But dont worry, you will be hocked to death with opportunities to purchase them. There is nothing here in the basic kit that you dont already have if you have a DVD player. This will NOT upgrade your existing hardware to 4K (which they suggest on the page -- I was gullible). This will, with the proper buy-in, allegedly up your capabilities to stream 4K (which might be more dependent on what you are streaming to than what you are streaming with, although I dont know). Ill take it on faith. I wont use the free samples, because I totally resent the upsell. I feel exactly about this as I do about time-share sales. For just a little more you can get a little more. In the end, you get a weekend a year in a shared apartment. Not for me. I will probably uninstall and be smarter next time. If it aint on the page -- theres a reason. The page offers no system requirements and when you get the box, you get the list. And the shaft. Ultimately, every time I tried to play from my videos, the computer froze, and once even gave me a blue screen of death. When it relaunched, I used my Windows media player which worked JUST FINE. This is a horrible horrible program which I have now uninstalled. JUST SAY NO.

I resisted having to buy a program but Im so glad I did. This program does so much more than just watch Blu-ray DVDs. Manage home videos, photos, play regular DVDs, use to play on your television or PC. It was easy to set up and works very well. It may seem pricey but its well worth it, especially the more you use it, the cheaper it becomes per use!

This isn’t an easy review. The reality is that many won’t actually need what this program offers, but for those that do; it does what it does very well – depending. This will be dependent on how powerful your computer is. If your computer is reasonably powerful, this program should work just fine. As far as those who will actually benefit from this program: • This is one of the only available pieces of software for playing Blu-ray discs on PC. If you want this functionality, this program can provide it. • The ability to make personal video files look better. By personal, I mean videos that are located on your personal computer. For this, the program does work quite well. In many ways, it’s similar to the results of editing a picture. It can make the image have greater clarity and sharpness with the default settings, but you can also go in and make further adjustments or even turn on additional filters if you desire. To make sure that there is no confusion though, this isn’t AI upscaling. It’s simple filters that *can* enhance the look of certain video files. That said, there is no option to use this program to modify or “upconvert” your existing video files. This program also doesn’t convert Blu-rays or DVDs. It can play them, but it doesn’t allow you to save them into video files. • If you are familiar with Plex, this program has similar functionality for creating a visual media library – but it focuses on managing all of your local media files on your computer. It kind of works, but it doesn’t work as well as Plex does for creating a network-based media server. This doesn’t bother me really. I already use Plex for accessing all my movies and tv shows on my home network, and I really just use PowerDVD as my video player when I want to watch something on my laptop instead of the TV. It does make watching my videos more enjoyable. Overall, I personally wish this program could do more, especially for the price. In specific, I would like it to have the ability to save Blu-rays and DVDs to video files, and to have the option to apply the visual enhancements to the saved video files as well. To me, it seems like this program is unnecessarily handicapped, and this makes it overly expensive (in my personal opinion) for what it offers.

Ive used Cyberlink Power DVD Blu-ray & DVD software for years. Each update gives you more quality uses, updated and ready to go. The pricing is always competitive, and the quality of the software is great!
