That's partially true, meaning that you can enhance the video quality yourself through Catalyst Control Center, considering that PDVD 15 is among the supported video players. I would also advise to enable the "demo mode" option in CCC for even better results!
However you should know that these hardware acceleration enhancements have nothing to do with Cyberlink True Theater Video Enhancements! So far I've never had "hardware acceleration" selected on PDVD 15 options as the difference is-was simply ENORMOUS!!!! Even if I did when True Theater Video Enhancements were selected as well they always by-passed hardware acceleration
Besides you can find many free video players on the web supporting hardware acceleration, no need to pay $100, if you claim that you are still happy with it!
I could assure you though that the majority of PDVD 15 owners facing this issue is not happy at all and that's the reason we feel cheated!!!
I know it has nothing to do with TrueTheater enhancements, but all TrueTheater enhancements do is increase sharpness and optimizes the color configuration. You can do all of this in CCC and apply it to video players that support it. In CCC, I have Video Color set to "Theater" and Edge Enhancement set to 70. This replicates the TrueTheater settings I had in PowerDVD pretty well.
I got PowerDVD for free with an external blu ray drive that I purchased. So I didn't have to pay for it. But other free players don't typically play all blu rays and they don't play 3D blu rays at all.
Be sure that if it was this simple to replace or reproduce Cyberlink True Theater HD technology, the
ONE AND ONLY REASON that makes PowerDVD 15 as exceptional and costly, nobody would have purchased it!
I dont know if those PowerDVD versions, offered for free together with some hardware you buy, have all the features of those purchased from the original Cyberlink site, but you make me suspect that they don't! It's simply unbelievable to me not being able to see the difference from any kind of enhancement that you managed to create, regardless from AMD or any other brand! As I said I've also tried everything in Catalyst Control Center without
even approaching the results that True Theater Enhancements could produce!
Now every (free or not) Blu-ray player that gets updated regularly can play all new BDs! There are a few Blu-ray 3D free players as well. I wouldn't like to name any here but you can google it if you wish.
None could compare to PowerDVD 15 though, the way it was before the afore-mentioned issue!
And that's exactly what I'm struggling to bring back, no matter how.....!!!!!
No
