If you’ve used any previous version this isn’t much different.nI used PowerDVD 12 before this and it seems they just added a couple of things like H.265 (HEVC) support, ability to watch YouTube video’s offline and Cyberlink Cloud.nSeems everyone is trying to get you to store your stuff in the cloud aka iCloud. Now Cyberlink has come up with CyberLink Cloud which they describe thus : The service is designed to enrich your media experience with CyberLink multimedia products. Whether you need to wirelessly sync music, photos and videos between PC and mobile devices or back up valuable media creation projects and templates, CyberLink Cloud makes it safe and convenient. Not competitively priced though, 9.99 a month for 10GB of storage which really isn’t that much when you’re storing video.nAnyways, for the reason most people will want this software to play Blu-ray and DVD since Windows doesn’t include said software it works as good as prior version from my experience. Did have it crash trying to open some video files on my hard drive which it didn’t seem to like for some reason.nI tested playing some H.265 files since that and 4K is one of the new features in this version and it played back fine on my 4K monitor. PowerDVD 12 couldn’t open the file nor could Windows media player or Quicktime. VLC had no problem opening it either.
