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.
PowerDVD playback is one of the best DVD players, and it is simple to use. The program features intuitive menu choices, bookmarks and shortcuts throughout. You can easily find what you need, fast. If you want the PowerDVD player and want support for MPEG4 try PowerDVD 9 Deluxe, or if you need a program that can read Blu-ray discs, upgrade to PowerDVD 9 Ultra.

PowerDVD can play movies directly from your hard drive. Simply select the movie folder and press OK. There is also a time-saving shortcut that lets you access video object files (VOB files) through Windows Explorer; just drag the VOB file directly into the screen to begin the movie automatically. However, if your DVD's region code does not match with DVD player's region designation, you need to use Any DVD Clone to remove the region code first.
The region code and other protections including CSS, RC, RCE, APS, UOPs, Sony ARccOS will be removed automatically by Any DVD Clone when it is used to back up a DVD movie to computer hard drive.
