System Requirements

The system requirements for CyberLink PowerDVD vary depending on the movie content you are watching. New 3D technologies require additional hardware to view 3D movie content: please see the Hardware Support section for more details about 3D hardware and graphics card support.

CyberLink PowerDVD optimizes performance by selecting the appropriate video de-interlacing algorithm for the available processing power. CyberLink PowerDVD maintains its support for processors below 1.6 GHz by ensuring that some CyberLink TrueTheater technologies are turned off by default. CyberLink PowerDVD's advanced audio and video technologies function better when used with processors above 2.4 GHz.
