New in PowerDVD Ultra 15.0.1510.58 (Apr 15, 2015)
- TrueTheater Color NEW
- Intelligently analyzes video footage and optimizes hues and vibrancy, creating a true-to-life viewing experience. TrueTheater Color recognizes skin tones in footage and applies only subtle adjustments to these areas in order to achieve improvements while retaining authentic coloring.
- TrueTheater Sound NEW
- Applies smart enhancements to four key areas simultaneously in order to create a richer, fuller audio environment:
- Bass boosting for effective recreation of that “cinema sound”
- Vocal range amplification, making speech crisper and more audible
- Reverb engagement to create a virtual surround sound effect
- Volume amplification to boost audio performance in environments with high levels of ambient noise such as aircrafts, trains, cars, offices, etc.
- Rip Audio Clips from Movies NEW:
- PowerDVD’s new “Video Scene Selector” feature enables the viewer to set “in” and “out” points at any section of a video file, so that a favorite scene can be quickly revisited. Additionally, users can rip an audio track from the selected section in any video file, allowing specific songs or entire soundtracks to be saved as AAC or MP3 files.
- Blu-ray and DVD ISO Playback NEW:
- PowerDVD 15 now offers convenient direct playback of Blu-ray and DVD ISO files, either directly from the PC or via a network-connected drive. No additional mounting tools are required.
- PowerDVD Remembers Where You Left Off NEW:
- The new media library for TV shows makes it easier for you to manage and enjoy all your TV shows in one place. PowerDVD helps users to save time and eliminate frustration by automatically restarting a show from the point it was last closed. Great for when you’re working your way through a series and can’t remember which episode—let alone which scene—you last watched. It works when you’re viewing a movie or an album of photos, too!
- Smart Decoding & Rendering Technology NEW:
- High speed video recording is no longer just for professionals. The new iPhone 6 can record video footage at 120 or even 240 frames per second (fps). But few media players offer quality playback for high speed video.
- Overlay Mode—A Complete 4K Experience NEW:
- Overlay rendering in PowerDVD offers a method of rendering video images to a monitor using a dedicated memory buffer inside hardware. This frees PowerDVD from constant memory clipping and checking that negatively impact playback performance. When PowerDVD detects a 4K video file and a 4K monitor, Overlay Mode is automatically engaged to optimize the rendering pipeline and reduce the graphic resource load, delivering smooth, lag-free playback.
