CyberLink released an advanced universal media player for the PC that upgrades the playback experience via a range of TrueTheater technologies such as enabling Full HD and 3D Blu-ray playback.

CyberLink PowerDVD 10 upgrades the movie experience with 3D movie playback for DVD discs and video files. Meanwhile, the improved version of TrueTheater HD, optimised for the latest CPU/GPU acceleration technologies, enables the upscaling of both DVD movies and video files to HD.

With the initial release of PowerDVD 10, consumers will enjoy Full HD Blu-ray movies, plus the new media-enhancing features of CyberLink’s advanced suite of TrueTheater technologies that includes noise reduction and stabilizer. With a “Mark II” scheduled for release this summer, consumers can add Blu-ray 3D playback and 2D-to-3D video file conversion to their software. Mark II will be free for consumers who already purchased PowerDVD 10 Ultra 3D.

In addition to new playback features, PowerDVD 10 enables new online experiences, with more features for sharing movie reviews and live comments to social networks on Facebook, Twitter and MoovieLive.com.

"We’re not just talking about an incremental shift in quality; PowerDVD 10 represents a new era of media entertainment, offering the best 3D and HD experience you can enjoy on the PC," Alice H. Chang, CyberLink CEO declared. "We’ve upgraded playback quality for video files and music too, turning PowerDVD 10 into a unique universal player that enhances the visual and auditory experience for all kinds of media.”
