PowerDVD 18 expands upon that further with more flexible support for files and formats online for playback on PC monitors, connected 4K UHD televisions, mobile devices and other display tools that can be hard wired or wirelessly networked. Last year’s PowerDVD 17 brought support for 4K Ultra HD video files and Ultra HD Blu-ray discs. The software program offers lovers of disc-based formats some solace that devices of various types –including computers and software–will be around for some time to ensure playback of their valued disc libraries, as well as those stored to NAS devices, computer hard drives and in the cloud. It will also access media files stored remotely through a home AV network. PowerDVD is computer-based home entertainment media playback software supporting a wide variety of digital A/V media formats and files, including those stored on physical discs, downloads, and streaming.
