PowerDVD is an advanced movie and media player used for playing Ultra HD 4K, Blu-ray, DVD, and 3D movies. It also provides media management tools, which include searching, browsing, and online sharing features. The application is available in Standard, Ultra, and 365 (subscription) editions.

PowerDVD supports Ultra HD 4K, Blu-ray, and DVD videos, and many other multimedia formats, such as H.264, MP4, MOV, MKV, FLV, VOB, AVI, MP3, AAC, JPEG, and PNG. The user interface provides options for playing movies, video, and music files on your PC or on your TV through the application's built-in TV Mode. You can browse lists of media files and play them from the computer, connected devices, or remote online locations through the CyberLink Cloud service. You can cast videos to Apple TV, Roku, FireTV, and Chromecast devices and play videos on the PowerPlayer app for Android and iOS. The PowerDVD interface also allows you to create playlists, add descriptive metadata, and organize media files.

PowerDVD enables you to enhance movies with CyberLink's proprietary TrueTheater technology. TrueTheater HD and 3D technologies can upscale video, convert 2D video to 3D, and adjust the depth of 3D effects. The program can detect a 4K video file and 4K monitor and deliver lag-free playback. TrueTheater Stabilizer removes jitter from home videos during playback. PowerDVD also includes audio enhancement technologies such as TrueTheater Noise Reduction, which removes unwanted audio noise, and TrueTheater Surround, which converts an audio signal into surround sound.

Summary

CyberLink PowerDVD is a great media player for a home theater environment, as well as mobile devices through the PowerPlayer app via the CyberLink Cloud service. With its video and audio enhancing features, smooth video playback, and media center organization capabilities, CyberLink PowerDVD proves to be a high-quality media player.
