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

Not only does this software make an excellent DVD player out of my PC, but it also allows me to stream all my media files to my surround sound system. I can setup playlists and have my favorite music with a simple click of my mouse. I am very happy with this software. I give it 5 stars!

This is just the same old, same old PowerDVD in a nice shiny box that includes an installation disc and the license key on a slip of paper. You can also download the software directly and use the key. It doesnt seem to have the annoying bug where the ui refuses to hide like some of my previous versions did. Basically, it plays blurays and is one of very few software that does. If you want to play them, you probably need this. There are a whole bunch of extra features that are probably useless to the vast majority of people. The software worked fine with Windows 11 and my hardware.

I think Cyberlink should discount their products as being add supported. After all, you get adds in the program all the time trying to sell more software. Another annoyance is the need to create a Cyberlink account to download software updates - which you need to do right out of the box. And any time the product needs updating, you have to wade through tons of adds to find the right link for the download vs an upgrade. If you make it through all of the annoyances, this player does play a variety of video files with an interface that is well thought out and easy to use. And yes, it does play Blu-ray discs. But there are free open ware players out there that play most any file. While they are not as user friendly to use without digging into settings, they are free. There may be some specific uses for this player that, for some select few, justify the price. Or perhaps if you really enjoy watching physical disc movies on your PC, this might be what you want.

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.

I got this software for only one reason… after getting myself a Blu-ray disk drive, I still could not watch my movies because the format was no able to be read on the native media software. With this software, I was able to watch my movies plus it gave me access to some other file formats which I previously could not view. Did the job well, highly recommended.

I think its too expensive, but it works quite well.

I was hoping this would replace my native Windows Media player, but it did not. The software becomes unresponsive on a light gaming PC (2022 standards - AMD Ryzen 3750, 8GB RAM, Windows 11.) I am very surprised at the lack of testing here. It has a barebones video trimmer as well. The one feature that turns into a salvageable product is the YouTube feature. You can watch YouTube videos without ads, thus making this a free YouTube Premium account somewhat. I am actually surprised that this is allowed, but since it will save me a few bucks a month, that will be the only useful feature for me in this bundle.

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!

Excellent software for playback of DVDs, Blu-ray Discs, and pretty much any digital video file in up to 4K resolution. Actually, it says it supports 8K but I haven’t come across any 8K videos thus far. It has nice media organization software as well. A good alternative to built-in players and media software if you want more control and finer quality. Five stars.

If you are looking for a media player that will play music and videos, this one will certainly do it. It can play from a flash drive, local hard drive, or DVD/Blu-ray drive. File types include FLV, mp4, and others, as well as ISO files (with a free driver download). So yes, this is really an all-in-one media player. However, I could not download any of my purchased YouTube movies to watch offline -- despite the claim that you can do so. Also note that you have to (fully) link your YouTube and CyberLink accounts to get this non-working feature to attempt to work. Also note that the 100GB of cloud storage is for 1 year only, then you will have to pay to keep it up. If youre married to CyberLink and have some cash to plunk down on a media player, you could do worse. But if youre just looking for a media player, there are a LOT of other options out there, most of which are cheaper and some of which are free.
