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

Theres a lot of features that this software offers. Im mainly focusing on it as a media player, media organizer and YouTube manager/player. This is an excellent media player for Windows and I made this my default player now. This player can play the highest quality available for the media. You can use PowerDVD to organize your video, photo, and music collection. The media is loaded according to the location of the actual folders which is a good thing so that you dont need to manage the file locations separately. This is a very good tool to access and manage YouTube contents. All you need is sign in to YouTube to link your account and PowerDVD and youre set. You can navigate through your videos, playlist, subscriptions etc. You can also download and access YouTube offline. Im only taking a star off for the price but the quality and host of features youre getting, this software can easily justify the price tag.

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

Sell on volume and make way more money. I would have a hard time spending 39.99. 59.99 or 69.99 no way. Most of us watch movies off of our television or home theater. We dont need your product. This isnt ripping on you its opening your eyes to reality. It would simply be nice to have the convience of having your program on a PC. In other words we can live without it. And Millions of people do. So wake up and make a bunch more money selling at a larger volume or continue to make a killing once in a while at a ridiculous price.

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 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.

Theres 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

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!

Update: We spoke too soon. I realized we never did try any 4K content with it. As soon as we did, it claimed we needed to upgrade to 22 Ultra for those features. However, this is 22 Ultra. Therefore, something is wrong with the program. We installed it using the digital download since none of the machines here have optical drives any longer. We may have to hunt down an old external option to toss onto the machine we tested this on to see if the disc install is any better.

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.

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.
