Ease of Use:  

PowerDVD is simple to use. The program has an uncluttered screen that makes selecting and navigating simple. The buttons and icons are easy to see and each option includes a footnote explanation. You can toggle the size of the control screen with the touch of a button, shrinking the control panel so it doesn't get in your way.

Additionally, using PowerDVD’s Fancy View, an interface similar to Apples Cover Flow, browsing through your movie collection couldn’t be easier.

Ease of Installation:  

PowerDVD is easy to install and set up. You enter your name, the CD key (number), select the default copy directory, download the program, then you're ready to play DVDs.

Video Quality:  

PowerDVD produces outstanding video quality. The software uses technology called TrueTheater to analyze the video image and enhance brightness, contrast and saturation on the fly. This technology will adjust scenes that are too bright or screens that have a dark overlay (common in DVD movies).

PowerDVD adds contrast to bright scenes and removes the dark overlay from night scenes, providing a crisp, clear picture. The program gives you optimal viewing for any system-TV screen, computer, or HiDTV (Hi Definition Television). This requires some specific technological tools. Why? Because most DVDs are interlaced-this means they were designed to play on televisions, not HiDefinition video systems and computer screens. Portions of your DVD picture must be deinterlaced, or displayed in a different, faster way to give you the sharp visual images you expect from HDTV or a computer monitor.

PowerDVD takes extra steps to ensure that each frame of your video is clear, sharp and clean, as it was meant to be viewed. Without intelligent, adaptive deinterlacing, some scenes in your movie will appear smeary, jagged, or blotchy. And you can even customize the deinterlacing settings if you want.

TrueTheater is also enhances your DVD’s lighting, motion and sound; drastically improving your movie watching experience.
