This software is expensive and as you can see it claims to do just about everything. It installs without problems but when you start it up it searches your computer for media files. The problem here is that if you have a large collection it takes ages for it add all these files to it's database. During this time you cannot use the software because it will crash if you do. After the long wait I was rather disappointed to see the lack of tabs you can choose for sorting your files and you can't move them around to your liking.

PowerDVD does seem to play most files that you throw at it but whatever you do, do not install DivX because it then refuses to play any avi's. My installation crashes everytime I start it now! Tech support do try to help but they ask for incredible amounts of information and always blame 'out of date' drivers for the problem. I am running a clean install of Windows 7 with all drivers up to date. I have spent weeks trying to make PowerDVD work for me and I am ready to give up. A truly expensive mistake! I don't see why I should spend hours trying to help Cyberlink fix problems with their software that obviously hasn't been properly tested. VLC player is free and works a dream so why can't Cyberlink sell a product that works?

And finally, all Cyberlink software (inc. PowerDVD!) contain/show embedded ads when you use it. These ads invite you to upgrade or purchase Cyberlink software even if you already have it. What a cheek!

Bought last week from Amazon and discovered that it wouldn't play any audio files at all on my Windows 7 PC: "does not support the playback of this media format" was the message each time. Went online and saw I was not alone with this problem. Re-installing it seemed to solve the problem but the entire program crashed every 20 minutes. Then it stopped playing audio again! I have spent days getting technical support from Cyberlink that has not worked. They sent me a download copy that does not solve the problem. They told me to change to a `selective start-up' that messed up my system. On the box it says "plays all media": that is simply not true. Don't touch this program until the problems have been solved and don't buy it like me: download a trial version first. I'm sending my copy back to Amazon who should stop stocking it until it works.

And it has the EXACT same problems that powerDVD 11 had- crashing and bugging when playing blu rays from a BD ROM. VERY unstable. I read on a forum somewhere that power dvd doesn't work so well with nvidia graphic cards which is what I, as well as many others, use.

If your looking for a decent software that plays blu rays that is 100% stable and WON'T crash and have problems but doesn't have a nice and fancy interface (but what would you prefer?), do yourself a favour and try out the trial first. If it messes up like it did with mine, try Corel WinDVD 11 Pro (PC), but try the trial version first just in case. I've been using it for months now to play blu rays and never had any such problems as power DVD. 100% stable and reliable. Which is a shame, because the interface and some features of powerDVD 12 are very good, but not many other software companies seem to be making blu ray software. How come the likes of companies such as Sony haven't even caught on yet?

But to me, Cyberlink PowerDVD 12 Ultra (PC) has the EXACT problems it's preprocessor had. I hoped they would work on this issue, but it seems they haven't.

Shame on you, CYBERLINK.

Let's hope in the future, there'll be a FREE download of software to play Blu Rays. I'm hoping that VLC media player, STILL the best media player out there (yet it's free), may do a future version that plays them.
