When you open PowerDVD, a welcome screen opens, in order to start with
a PC Mode or a TV Mode interface. The first one is more suitable for
computers, whereas the second one is a full screen mode used for TVs.
Let's start with the PC Mode. This presents several sections on the
left, the main interface, and the main Player at the bottom.
Inside Media Library, you can quickly find and start watching videos,
images and music. Choose Movies/TV to start watching online or offline
videos. This is divided in different tabs above. Under Movie Info, you
can get quickly and easily the most important news about what is coming
soon in theaters, in cinemas, and what is coming in DVDs and Blu-rays,
complete with trailers, plots, comments and suggested films.
Also, you can check out the most popular, the most watched, and the top
rated films and TV Shows from the CyberLink community.
More below, you have a quick biography and filmography of the top
celebrities at the moment.
Under Movie Discs, you can start watching your favorite DVD or Blu-ray.
Movie Library collects your own offline media from your computer. TV
Shows collects all media under seasons. Double-click on one to open a
season and start watching.
Next to each media name, you have a small circle. If this is yellow, it
means that the media is new; if it is halved, it means it has been
partially watched; if it is completely dark, it means the media has
been watched completely.
Below Movies/TV, you also have other sections, that collect your own
offline media. Choose Videos to browse for your own videos; Photos to
check your images and pictures; and Music to listen to your favorite
tracks. You can collect these according to the Artists, the Albums, or
directly check the full detailed list under All songs.
All the offline content available inside the Media Library is taken from
your computer folders chosen and included inside PowerDVD. If you click
on the plus button next to Media Library, you can check and edit all the
folders to be linked to Movies/TV, inside the Movie Library, the TV Shows,
the Videos and Photos sections, and the Music section. Use Add Folder
to add and browse for your folder, and, to remove one, just click on the
bin button on the right. When you add a new folder, PowerDVD will include
it in the respective section as a media collection. Double-click to
check its media, and use the left and the right arrows on top to shuffle
between the several folders included inside PowerDVD.
If you are looking for a media file, you can use the search bar on the
right to find it inside PowerDVD, or use the My Computer section on the
left to browse for it from your computer and hard drives.
PowerDVD also connects to your CyberLink Cloud account, in order to
directly find and pick your media stored online, up to 30 GB free!
Through PowerDVD, you can also watch online videos from YouTube and Vimeo
by going to Online Video on the right. Remember to sign in by clicking on
the key icon.
Inside PowerDVD, you can create Playlists to collect your most favorite
media, such as the most recent ones and the top rated ones. You can also
create your own customized playlist by clicking on New Playlist,
deciding its name, and then dragging and dropping your media from your
computer folder, or directly from PowerDVD.
Let's now see the outstanding playback experience that PowerDVD 17 offers.
When you playback a video, the player will cover the whole interface,
with several options at the bottom that you can use to play, pause, stop,
or move from one chapter to another with Previous and Next Mark. You can
mute or regulate the volume through the speaker icon, and even zoom in
with the Zoom bar if you need.
Also, more on the left, you can set up the audio language, the chapters,
and primary and secondary subtitles if they are available. You can come
back to the Disc menu, and watch videos in 3D or VR.
Furthermore, PowerDVD enhances the appearance of your video with its
unique TrueTheater. This feature improves the video with special
adjustments and enhancements that make it even better than the original.
You can choose between the Smart and the Advanced Enhancement, adjusting
the video and the audio settings depending on what it looks like. You
can check any difference by changing the Display mode.
Also, on the far right, use Play to to playback the video on a connected
device, and Full screen to playback in full screen mode.
PowerDVD allows you to have full control of what to watch. If you click
and drag and move the start and the end markers, you will select the part
to watch. Or, through the second button from the left, you can go to Add
Bookmark to save a particular video frame, and retrieve it easily.
To stop watching a video, just click on the far left arrow. When you open
it later, PowerDVD will start from the latest point watched.
Also, you can regulate your preferences by going to the gear icon on the
right, and then to Player Settings.
When you open a picture this will present a Player at the bottom. When
you click on the Play button, PowerDVD will start a slideshow by taking
all the photos inside the current folder chosen, with cool effects
depending on the settings under Slideshow Preferences. You can check
the full list of photos and their order through Photo Thumbnails on the
left.
Additionally, you can rotate by 90 degrees the current picture by using
the Rotate buttons below, or directly remove it through the bin button.
On the far right, use Play to to share the slideshow to different devices
and the Share button to share your picture on emails or social websites.
When you play your favorite music, you still have the Volume bar, and
also the Audio Equalizer, to apply audio filters to the output sound.
All tracks are played in order, from top to bottom. Click on the Shuffle
button to randomize the order. Use the Repeat button to repeat the
current track or all the tracks.
PowerDVD is also suitable for other media devices. For example, you can
choose the TV Mode - from the welcome screen, or the TV icon in the top
right corner - to get a full screen simplified interface, which may be
the best for TVs or devices sharing your desktop.
Or, you can use the Devices & Home Media section to discover PowerDVD
Remote and Power Media Player. You can use PowerDVD Remote to turn your
smartphone into a remote control through a dedicated App, in order to
easily navigate through the PowerDVD interface. Power Media Player is
an App that brings the outstanding playback experience of PowerDVD into
your smart devices, that will also enable you to connect and share media
with your PowerDVD main copy. Try it out!
