you to enjoy your favorite DVD
movies and video files right on your
computer, with all the extra
functionality you would expect from
a high-quality player. PowerDVD
features a sleek interface you can
customize with skins and includes
direct access to MoovieLive, an
online movie database that helps
you categorize all the titles in your
collection and access movie reviews
online.
PowerDVD is generally very easy to
use. Most of the program's functions
can be performed with the mouse or
their corresponding keyboard
hotkey, and there's also a
comprehensive context menu that
gives you access to even more
options by just right-clicking
anywhere on the image.
Regarding playback, the movie flows
very smoothly even when you move
PowerDVD's window around or play
it in fullscreen mode. Image quality
has been improved thanks to the
special TrueTheater filters which
provide pixel-perfect images and
make the most out of your HD visual
equipment. This new version ALSO
includes the innovative TrueTheater
3D, a special filter that can transform
your DVDs into 3D movies like the
ones in cinemas everywhere. The 3D
effect obviously only works if you
have a 3D-capable display.
Sound in PowerDVD can be
configured in different ways,
depending on your hardware (from
headphones to a full stereo surround
system) in order to obtain the best
possible sound quality. TrueTheater
Noise Reduction also makes sure you
get the clearest sound possible.
During our tests we found some
outstanding features in PowerDVD:
you can change playing speed, take
snapshots of your favorite scenes in
the movie and have a particular
scene or sentence repeated over and
over again with the "Say it again"
and the "AB Repeat" tools. This may
be useful for foreign language
students who watch movies to
improve their listening skills. Other
interesting features in PowerDVD are
the possibility to share video files on
YouTube and support for video
bookmarks.
PowerDVD is then a perfect solution
for your all DVD playing needs: a
powerful video player with
interesting features, yet easy
enough for everyone to use.
