Better, stronger and faster. If I was going to use Cyperpink, then it would have to be v5 OEM which is available online for $1.50
Also Divx 7 and CoreAVC packages.
They both enable you to play .mkv with very low CPU utilization in your favourite video player.
Using PowerDVD is justified only if you get it from a bundle with your video card for free...
Media Player Classic - HomeCinema 64bit is what I love the most. Plays everything under the sun, DXVA accelerated for your MKVs and supporting media, and custom shader support which can make even 100 year old clips look fresh. I would never waste money on this.
That's great. You're just the kind of guy they're looking for.
Personally, I use VLC, Videolan's excellent free media player. It also includes video hardware acceleration if you have compatible equipment. I don't, but still have ultra-smooth playing videos. VLC also lets you tweak it relentlessly with a wide variety of settings to optimize video and even audio just for your system or for your personal preferences. KMPlayer is another excellent choice.
My advice is to look around before you give more money to the Cyberlink pirates. I suffered from their DRM infested crap once, and never again.
Absolutely not I love PowerDVD 9 as it is one of the only media players out there that supports hardware acceleration for H.264 media. Right now if you rename a .MKV file over to .mp4 it will play it and use the video card acceleration (Radeon for me!). I for one will shell out for their latest version that plays MKV files natively... not that I have many of them......
PowerDVD 10 includes 3D video support and 2D to 3D conversion in the first release.
how to be candid without being censored...OK...let's try it this way...
...They friggin' suck!!! I despise products and companies like this that try to gouge you for limited functionality proprietary media players. Why anyone would pay these pirates for a friggin' media player is beyond me. It reminds me of sTeve "tHe sOn oF sAtan" jObs tActics and Adobe's Flash...utter and complete crap.
