POWER DVD PLAYBACK SOFTWARE

PowerDVD is a high-quality, pure-software DVD (Digital Versatile Disc) player that brings high-quality movies and karaoke into your multimedia PC. Using PowerDVD, you can playback high resolution DVD titles or MPEG-2 files with superb MPEG-2 video and Dolby AC-3 audio quality. Moreover, PowerDVD offers a complete set of navigation commands, which fully support not only basic operations (such as play, fast forward, fast backward, stop and pause), but also those advanced features such as multi-angle viewing, multi-language and multi-subtitle selection, and even parental control. With PowerDVD and its high-quality audio/video performance on Pentium II processor-based PCs, no more hardware DVD decoder boards are required, saving users significant hardware costs. With these great advantages, PowerDVD is acknowledged as most suitable for home entertainment. From now on, you can easily enjoy DVD titles in high-resolution display directly from their multimedia PC.

PowerDVD also takes into consideration that some sophisticated display chips are now equipped with certain hardware component for accelerating Motion Compensation, an important MPEG decoding operation, or better with IDCT, still another hardware-accelerating component. And, as we know, PowerDVD will automatically detect the existence of such display chip to utilize the embedded MPEG acceleration engine.
