Now, you can apply TureTheater enhancements to video and audio in TV mode and casting, play animated GIF files, and access 30 GB of cloud storage for a year via the unique CyberLink Cloud services. Additional improvements include the options to choose a background image, auto-change wallpaper, and to select the quality of YouTube videos before you pin (download for offline viewing) them. Furthermore, spatial audio support for YouTube 360° videos is a great addition.Īn extensive range of video, audio, and photo formats are supported by the new version along with HEIC/HEIF and GIF image support and a native 64-bit engine for video, audio, and photo playback with more accurate processing. The software also supports Oculus Rift headset and controllers as well as HTC Vive headset and controllers. Other new features include 360° and VR mode that allows you to watch 360° videos and photos with spatial audio support and multi-angle view. TrueTheater 3D for Blu-ray movies, HD videos, and even photos was introduced in the previous version and there are a few minor improvements that have gone in the new PowerDVD 22 Ultra.Īmong the new features is the Window mode for HDR video file playback that goes hand in hand with a Windows Mixed Reality headset, if you have one, to offer the most immersive entertainment possible on a Windows PC. The TrueTheater color, lightning, and HDR for 4K video support are worth every penny spent on the software as this unique feature not only enhances the video playback experience vastly but also builds a solid platform on which future advancements can be modeled. Unlike the 8K HD video playback, CyberLink’s new and unique TrueTheater enhancements can be accessed and taken advantage of by consumers.

Enhanced features include better GPU support for HDR video playback, external subtitle support for discs and the ability to watch YouTube videos offline. Among the new features I would also highlight the ability to playback 360˚ VR Video with outstanding dimensional sound and support for animated GIF files.

In addition to UHD 8K video format support a brand new CyberLink PowerDVD 22 can now show HEIC images without a hassle. 1 What’s New in CyberLink PowerDVD 22 Ultra?
