CyberLink PowerDVD is a commercial video player and audio player for Microsoft Windows and Turbolinux [1]. It enables the viewing of High-definition video and DVD-Video movies on the user's PC. The player can also be used to play videos and audio/music files in other formats encoded with different codecs, for instance WMV HD, DivX, Xvid, and DVD-Audio, MP3 and AAC audio. The software offers full Blu-ray Disc and HD DVD playback with menus, with CPRM and DRM support. HD DVD support has since been dropped with the release of PowerDVD 8, however, it can easily be re-enabled through a workaround, as posted in various internet sites.^{[citation needed]} For other uses, see Software developer (disambiguation). ...
