PowerDVD
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 it’s 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.
