Read on to learn what you can expect when you purchase PowerDVD 11!
Amazing Blu-Ray
Blu-Ray 3D
PowerDVD 11 lets you watch 3D movies on Blu-Ray, provided you have the proper hardware. In other words, you need the 3D glasses to fully immerse yourself in the movies. The program supports all 3D video file formats.
Smooth Blu-Ray Playback
Graphics card optimization makes PowerDVD 11 give the smoothest blu ray playback on the market today. CPU/GPU optimization and synthesis lets you use your graphics card’s full power without draining your computer’s resources. Blu-ray movies will load up to four times faster than other Blu-ray software programs.
HD Audio for Blu-Ray
HD TVs often suffer from poor built-in volume, but PowerDVD 11 pulls out all the stops with DTS-HD Master Audio and Dolby TrueHD. Ultra-crisp audio and high-definition, loss-less passthrough are the aims of the game here. Support for HDMI 1.3a allows you to hook up your computer to your home theater sound system with one convenient cable.
Cinema Mode
If you have a wide-screen TV for watching movies, PowerDVD 11 allows you to hook up your computer directly to your television. With the “Cinema Mode” setting, all you have to do is click one button, and seamlessly watch Blu-ray discs on larger displays. Control it from Windows Media Center, and watch it on the big screen.
Enhanced DVD
Make 2D Movies 3D
The TrueTheater 3D feature included in PowerDVD 11 allows you to wear 3D glasses and view old 2D movies with eye-popping 3D graphics. The figures and motions will look like they pop out of the screen, and you’ll feel immersed in your old favorites like never before. All you have to do is insert a DVD, click a button, and everything changes. An adjustable depth slider lets you play with how much depth your 3D experience provides. You can also convert 2D video files saved on your computer to 3D. Note that you have to download the 257.21 VGA driver and 257.21 3D Vision driver in order to use this feature.
Upscale Your DVDs
Thanks to the TrueTheater HD technology, you can view your DVDs on your computer the way they were meant to be seen – in high definition! Details will be crisper, colors will be brighter, and images will pop out more than ever when you choose to upscale your DVD watching experience. Optimized with NVIDIA and ATI hardware acceleration technology, PowerDVD11 shifts graphics processing to your graphics card, so your computer can run movies with maximum smoothness and exquisite visual quality.
FancyView
A unique method for paging through videos, FancyView calls to mind the iPod’s album view as you “flick” through all the DVDs in your collection. While this is little more than a fun toy, it’s nevertheless a good way to choose what you want to watch on any given day. You can page through synopses, chapter selections, or other information while you browse your collection, and you can even use your finger to “page” through if you have the hardware to do so.
Powerful Features
Upscale Video Files to HD Quality
Just like with DVDs, you can use PowerDVD 11 to improve any video files you have saved on your computer, so details intensify and colors pop out.
Transform 2D Video Files into 3D Video Files
Similarly, you can view all of your standard video files in 3D, with a movable depth slider to create interesting visual effects.
Stabilize Handheld Video
We all know how hard it is to keep a camcorder steady while making a home video. However, by running it through PowerDVD 11, you can automatically stabilize the video. What was once a shaky, earthquake-like romp through your home or city becomes a smooth, easy stroll, just like you’d intended it. This is sure to lead to plenty of fascinating amateur videos that look nearly professional!
De-noise Video Artifacts
Remember how, when you tried to play videos on your computer before you got PowerDVD11, every solid color backdrop had a weird, grainy texture? This is called a “video artifact,” and when you purchase PowerDVD 11, you will be able to switch on an option and make all those artifacts go away. You’ll be left with a crystal clear image and a greater sense of immersion.
Compatible with Every Type of Video File
Power DVD 11 has scoured the web for every single file extension used in making videos, and is proud to proclaim that it can play any of them, no matter what. If it’s got images and sound together, the program can play it.
Fourteen Sound System Options
A customizable sound station allows you to use Power DVD 11 to get the most out of whatever speakers, headphones, or surround sound system you’re using to listen to your video files. These options are labeled according to what you’re using to listen, so all you have to do is choose your option from the drop-down menu and the sound will be much improved instantly.
Online Community
MovieMarks
An online connection while you watch movies allows you to bookmark certain scenes that particularly moved you. You can simply pause the movie and make a note of where you might like to return in the future, or where you’d like to engage with others. This bookmark gets saved into a file which can then be shared with other PowerDVD11 users. Then, go online and see your comments saved in a timeline at MoovieLive.com, read other people’s comments on the same movie, and start a conversation. Whether you’re watching a movie by yourself, or whether you and some friends want some prompts to talk about the movie you just saw, you never have to feel lost after a film again!
Live Comments
If something someone else said intrigued you, you can comment on their page and have a conversation with them about the movie in real-time. Movie-watching used to be a social experience – with the rise of the Internet and PowerDVD 11, it is becoming one again!
