Pointless waste.

A few years ago Power DVD was the measure of all things.
Back then DVDs were still relatively new and almost every software had not Macken, CyberLink. I have determined 3 or 4 versions of it being used for many years to the utmost satisfaction.
Meanwhile, things have changed quite a bit.
Some users (2 of 6) complaints is that the software after installing this Version.nicht runs.
Caveat: I have the same problems with me it was the DVD version, with the others it was the download version.

I made screenshots, but you can not adjust because, strangely enough, for this product, "Set customer images" button was removed from Amazon.
No matter .The error message reads after installation:

CyberLink PowerDVD could not be started because some of the components appear to be damaged. Try to uninstall and reinstall, or check with your antivirus software etc ... etc ..

The installation itself takes about 4 minutes and runs smoothly. After the start you have to the 30-digit key number. That is on the DVD case, manually enter and activate.
Then comes the above error message when you attempt to start any.

Personally I use on my Windows machine (Win 7 and Win 8) the Windows version of Mac Blu-ray Player for playing Blurays, and it runs absolutely reliably.
But even free software like VLC or MPC-HC x64 running smoothly

83 euros for a player software are not to be sneezed, so I think that CyberLink should deliver a top product for this price that can be installed without specialist knowledge technicians and funktionniert smoothly with handelsüblche onboard sound cards.
It may be that with all sorts of tricks the Göbel, Thomas describes in his review, you CyberLink PowerDVD 14 Ultra can get up and running, but erhrlich to which I have no Bock and I'm not there wegzubügeln the error of Dllettanten, interns, etc. to seek and a weekend on the internet for solutions.

CONCLUSION
90% of the packaging is air, a further 8% placeholder cardboard, the remaining 2% is the DVD with the software.
And that is useless for me, that is the whole package I consider 100% waste.
Too bad that this product has taken my time, my laptop contaminated with useless garbage and my trash has filled ..

The installation (starts with Autorun.exe in the Autorun directory) will take about 4 minutes.
A look at the instruction manual is not worthwhile, it is unreadable, the PDF file can not handle umläute and everything is blurred by.
But went smoothly, I did not have the problems that describe coupling and Michael Holm Frommhold.
After installation, you have to the 30-digit key number. manually enter capital letters and numbers in order to be first busy for a while.
,
In version 13 Ultra, there were already all the important features that has 14 Ultra to offer:

The playback of YouTube or Flickr is more of a joke, for this you do not need expensive software.

Been added is at 14 Ultra CyberLink cloud, store media in the cloud.
I do not need, because I and the other probably also have a lot of TB hard drives. Because the cost now no more than a carton of cigarettes.
It also includes a download of Power Media Player for mobile devices.
Plus 1 download PowerDVD Remote, the app allows a smartphone into a remote control to turn what fashion is in cameras today.
PowerDVD 13 Ultra will cost 54 Euro, 14 Euro Ultra 84.
