I agree, Morten! These features are neat.
What I miss for my use is better upscaling of DVDs. I watch a lot of anime, and most of the series are only available on DVD.
The upscaling of PowerDVD 12 is so bad that I get a better result when playing DVDs with VLC after going into advanced options. That's not satisfactory when I paid for a product that is supposed to have good upscaling. The main problem with the upscaling is the artifacts. Please do something about this!

The main problem when upscaling is the lines created and the motion and direct area around the motion becoming blurry. This is especially visible when you look at the mouths of anime persons when they talk. I would love if PowerDVD 13 came with an "anime mode" which adressed these problems. Until then, I will use VLC when watching anime, but there's still room for improvement here too.

And here is my thirds suggestion, a feature which would both solve half of StigtriX' problem, and perfect the viewing on a computer monitor:
3. De-interlacing while using TrueTheater effects! It is a serious setback compared to free solution such as VLC media player not having a proper de-interlacer. Thank you! OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit (6.1, Build 7601) Service Pack 1
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU 6420 @ 2.13GHz (2 CPUs), ~2.1GHz

DirectX Version: DirectX 11
Video card name: NVIDIA GeForce 7900 GS
PowerDVD 12 trial version

Yes, that would be nice. I also wondered why this function is not available when enabling TTE. It seems to me like there could be a whole lot of upscaling and picture improvement options added. The options are quite limited when compared to VLC and WinDVD.

If you added the ability to use these function when playing Blu-rays too, you would have really unique features! Of course, you would have to add a warning that this may tax the user's system (my system could do this easily and I would gladly let the CPU and GPU run a bit hotter for improved picture quality). PowerDVD already uses 2-3% less CPU power when compared to WinDVD, so there's a good "headroom" already. If you managed to only use up to 3% more while upping Blu-ray quality, it would be amazing! Enabling sharpness effects for Blu-ray would make some restored movies look way better. The polish on some of the BD versions makes everything look like plastic props.

I'd say some streamlining is more needed than any of this.

I'll take the ability to kill the 5 processes PDVD forces me to run continuously, over some fancy 3D-related gimmicks any time.
