Note: To
date this is the strongest PowerDVD version
to be released. Really for a DVD/Blu-Ray/ HD Video Playback
software, this is the one to have. With the
support for Advanced Audio and High Def Video
such as MPEG-4 H.264 , WMV-HD, DivX Pro and
more, this puts it over the top. |

Our Review of PowerDVD 9:
A few features of Power DVD 9 now in HD!
With the wide range of home entertainment technology available, from high-end audio
systems to high-defi nition televisions, consumers have much to consider when purchasing
a suitable player for their media. Risk is carried when buying a standalone set-top
player. Chances are, the device one buys today, will be out of date tomorrow. So what is
the solution?
When it comes to supported formats, PowerDVD 9 has the leading edge! Supporting
current hi-def video standards:
—Blu-ray Disc, AVCREC and AVCHD, as well hi-def audio,
Dolby TrueHD and DTS HD Master Audio
—all high-defi nition bases are covered.
Not
only this, but with features like CyberLink’s native TrueTheater Technology, DVD resolution
and frame-rates are up-scaled to deliver HD-like quality—guaranteeing the longevity
of the DVD format in the high-defi nition age.
PowerDVD 9 makes full use of the levels of interactivity inherent in PCs and notebooks
thereby allowing users to interact with their entertainment in a variety of exciting new
ways. Blu-ray Disc has spectacularly animated menus and other extended benefi ts with
BD-Live and BonusView. PowerDVD includes an enhanced navigation mode for DVDs
too—FancyView—enabling browsing of DVD titles, chapters and DVD features, much
like flipping through a catalog.
PowerDVD 9’s two modes of playback enable maximum enjoyment up-close on the
smaller displays of PCs or notebooks using Classic Mode, as well as from a distance on
larger displays such as HD TVs with Cinema Mode. PowerDVD 9 also integrates with Microsoft
Windows Media Center systems, providing Blu-ray Disc support where there was
previously none. But it doesn’t end with playback…
Movie collectors are able to build a comprehensive Movie Library, complete with movie
information, ratings and reviews for their DVDs and Blu-ray Discs. This information can
then be shared with a broader community, online at www.moovielive.com, adding to
the enjoyment of all PowerDVD users.
PowerDVD 9 users will also always have the latest updates for their software as well as
support from CyberLink, will always be made available, ensuring that their choice of media
player is always up-to-date! PowerDVD 9 - the most complete high-defi nition, hometheater
experience available on the PC.
