CyberLink PowerDVD is a commercial media player for Microsoft Windows and Linux. Several editions of the software are sold including: Ultra, Deluxe and Standard. All editions support the viewing of DVD but only the Ultra edition supports Blu-ray playback.
The product is distributed via physical install media (CD) or via download from the Cyberlink website. PowerDVD is often bundled with a variety of PC systems and peripherals (particularly optical drives).[1][2][3]
HD DVD support was included in some versions of PowerDVD 7 but was removed from PowerDVD 8 because there will be limited new releases in this format as it is no longer supported by any major studio. It can be re-enabled in the original retail version of PowerDVD 8 through a workaround.[4] Cyberlink advises users who want to keep HD DVD playback to buy the Ultra editions of PowerDVD 7 and 8 which can be installed together on the same system.[5]
A Linux version of PowerDVD is available at the Canonical Ltd. store.[6]
