Unfortunately, one annoyance that has not changed is PDVD’s insistence on grabbing all of the available AutoPlay handlers. While a small annoyance to just make the dialog go away, it does make the application friendlier for the rest of the family as I no longer have to show them how to dismiss it every thirty days (or so). The ability to not need to register and not get nagged about is a welcome change in the initial experience compared to earlier versions of the product.
Because of this we asked CyberLink for some clarification, and as it turns out after reviewing the legality they are able to confirm that the feature was intentional and permanent unless standards/specifications change–let’s collectively touch wood and hope that does not happen. Yes, the most surprising feature included in PDVD 11 is one that was stripped from an earlier revision through an update. While PDVD 11 looks the same there are some significant differences lurking beneath the skin, most notably the return of BDMV (Blu-ray folders) playback.
Taking a first look at the standalone application, PowerDVD 11’s roots are quite evident with little significant change in the layout and presentation of the user interface (UI) compared to previous versions. We did not have a long time to play with PowerDVD 11 so this is will be part review and part product guide as we explore it together. With PDVD 10 already a solid product we were not expecting a revolutionary shift in the Blu-ray (BD) playback software, so the rather evolutionary changes brought to the updated application including better 3D support, a richer media experience outside of its core BD and DVD playback, and updated device support were very much in line with expectations. Spring is here, so as usual it is time for CyberLink to release an updated version of PowerDVD (PDVD) making this number 11.
