I notice the pop-up ads when running PowerDVD are starting to say things like "Last Chance to Buy PowerDVD 16!"

So I wonder how soon there'll be an announcement of the new version? Or if it will actually have any new featuress, rather than just saying everything is "improved" without specifics?

Write "powerdvd 17" on Youtube. You'll see.

Here are some improvements:

Sounds very cool.

Youtube videos should have 1080 in PowerDVD 16 too. Too bad...

Mmm, I was curious about dates and release announcement. I note that the pop-up promo doesn't say anything about a free-upgrade period for new purchasers, so either the release is not that close, or Cyberlink isn't doing such an offer this time. Surprising, if that's the case, given how much investment Cyberlink's put lately into building market share. (Though on second thoughts, Cyberlink doesn't really have a lot of commercial competition for PDVD at the moment, does it?)

I don't know CyberLink to speak about release dates for any of their software. The new versions just suddenly appear on their website.

And I also think there is no competition too. But I won't speak about this. I don't want to make them excited too much.

This is their problem to know.
