PowerDVD is a multimedia playback software developed by CyberLink. It is designed to play a wide variety of disc and file formats, including Blu-ray, DVD, 4K UHD Blu-ray, and various video, audio, and photo file types. The software aims to provide a high-quality viewing experience on personal computers.

Key features of PowerDVD often include support for advanced audio and video technologies. This can encompass high-definition playback, surround sound formats like Dolby Digital and DTS, and support for HDR content. The software also frequently includes features for media organization, allowing users to manage their digital libraries. Additionally, PowerDVD has incorporated technologies for upscaling lower-resolution content to near HD quality and for playing back 3D media.

Beyond disc playback, PowerDVD extends its functionality to streaming services and online content. It can act as a media server, enabling users to stream content to other devices on their network.
