I have mixed feelings about UltraHD Blu-ray on the PC. On one hand, it is fantastic that the PC, and therefore the home theater PC (HTPC), continues to evolve to support the latest and greatest formats (ignoring Dolby Vision of course).

There’s no stopping CyberLink in their quest to keep PowerDVD at the forefront of PC content playback. It wasn’t that long ago that they added support for Ultra HD Blu-ray, and now there’s another update with adds support for VR.

I’m not completely sold on subscription consumer-targeted software, but in enterprise it makes a lot more sense especially as the up-front cost of the applications rise. CyberLink has added their suite of content editing and creation to their cloud + yearly subscription model introduced with last year’s rev of PowerDVD. I had a chance to play with the PowerDirector the […]

It’s always interesting to stop by CyberLink’s suite at CES, they have good demos and I like to know what they’re working on in our space. Unfortunately there isn’t a whole lot that we’re allowed to talk about publicly (yet) so for now it’s just some pictures (on the next page) of their “Metro” version of PowerDVD Mobile for Windows […]
