The next step, which is an account creation, is where you are forced to enable the internet connection for CyberLink. After that, you need to choose between PC Mode and TV Mode. There is a wizard that helps you setting up the media player a bit, like importing files to the library, but it is skippable. If you block the connection, the installation is still able to run until finish, but it refuses to play your media files until you let it connects to the CyberLink service and create an account.

Features and HighlightsĬyberLink PowerDVD connects to the internet a lot during the installation. The former looks cheaper than PowerDVD Standard but it is actually a monthly subscription plan, so you’ll end up paying a lot more than the one-time purchase of PowerDVD Standard. A superb image quality without a good audio quality is useless anyway.Ī 100Gb cloud storage is there to take so that you can enjoy your favorite movies and music anywhere, but only if you’re willing to pay for PowerDVD 365 or PowerDVD 22 Ultra. Of course, audio quality is not neglected. Relying on TrueTheater Enhancements technology, it promises a much better experience in watching movies. CyberLink PowerDVD plays videos in 8K, 4K, and various other media formats, with support for HDR10 as well.
