> 24 hourTheres a reason I bought a Blu Ray player for my home theater instead of using a PC for it. And Cyberlink reminded me why today. I got this software installed without an issue. Tried playing a movie. No luck. Saw that there was an update. Had to register and give them my name and email. Had to log in which required setting a password (so dont give them a bogus email or youre out of luck for software updates). Updated the software. Had to hard reset my PC since the update blacked out the screen and I couldnt get it back. Tried to download and run the update again because it can only download in their special tool instead of as an executable that anyone can run. Got an error saying the download wasnt currently available. Figured Id try to play my blu ray again for fun. Got the same error saying my computer couldnt playback HDCP content. NVidias control panel disagrees. So does Cyberlinks own advisor tool. Oh, but Cyberlink says on the download page for their advisor tool that its a best guess and they dont guarantee the results. Googled. Saw that it might be because I had two monitors. Switched my settings to only display on one monitor. Still wont work. Cyberlink PowerDVD 22 is awful. Forcing me to register after I enter a license key is stupid. Either I have the license key and a valid copy of the software or I dont. If you want me to download the software directly from you dont give me a disc and license key in the box (btw, I was pretty happy to see a disc and license key - I much prefer that method of install since it works offline which is a huge benefit since I normally stream unless the internet is out). Hiding updates behind a registration and account wall and then only allowing those updates to run through your special software is horrible. This software is a waste of time not only right now but in the future when i have to unsubscribe from whatever marketing emails cyberlink sends my way. Dont bother

> 24 hourExcellent 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.

> 24 hourI 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!

> 24 hourPowerDVD 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.
