TrueTheatre smooths out playback and tweaks colours and lighting on the fly. While the increase in quality for DVDs is impressive, it really shows in home videos. With standard definition content, this involves upscaling the resolution so it looks better on HD displays. This is handy if you want one program to view and play all your media.Īnother feature unique to the PowerDVD series is Cyberlink's TrueTheatre technology, which uses the graphics card and processor to improve media playback. This lets you view media on Facebook and Flickr as if it was stored locally on your PC. Where PowerDVD differs from Media Player is the 'Online media' section.

Folders, external devices and other DLNA computers and drives connected to your network are shown on the left, while thumbnails of the media are displayed in the main window. Rather than opening up a web browser and sending the user to the internet to find information, PowerDVD 11 delivers everything within its own interface, giving a strong impression that this is a program tailor-made for film fans.īrowsing your media through PowerDVD 11 is similar to using Windows Media Player. New releases on DVD, Blu-ray and at the cinema are attractively displayed in the main screen, and clicking them brings up information, reviews and trailers.
