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

This package gives me the full version so I couldnt be happier - I have a 3 TB external drive where I have stored all my CDs and DVDs (I still have their hard format, but having them on an external drive makes it easier to watch/listen to) This was easy enough to upgrade on my computer and now I have the full version so my music and videos are easier to find/load and sound/look better. I like this particular piece of software because I already knew it well enough and nowadays, for me to learn new software...thank you, but Id rather not!

The CyberLink Power DVD software was easy to install on my laptop. Nothing hung up during install, and the program seems quite responsive. However, I find that the software doesnt do anything to improve the ease or performance of playing BluRay or 4K DVDs, watching TV online, or streaming 4K YouTube to my 4K TV that I couldnt already do with the original DVD player and the software that came with the computer, including organizing the digitized collection.

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.

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.

Works great on my laptop.

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.

I have mixed feelings about this product, has a lot of features and probably so many that you want to use all of them but in my experience the teachers do work very well for what they do. I do use this as my primary media player and it does seem like it has increased the quality and resolution that I see in my movies and pictures so I’m happy with that. I feel that it could be a little easier as far as understanding the functionality but there are a ton of training videos at your disposal. I am using this on a medium a gaming PC with a 3060 TI video card so I should mention that as well. I do like that it comes with cloud functionality included one year which is pretty nice. overall I feel like this is a great video software that can replace a lot of the features that windows offers if you’re comfortable with the price.
