PowerDVD 10 BD3D delivers award-winning playback software and supports playback of Blu-ray Disc 3D titles. PowerDVD will even convert your 2D video files and DVDs into a 3D experience2, and will upscale standard-definition content to look better on HD displays.
PowerDirector 9 allows you to import your home movies, edit them, and then author them to Blu-ray Disc or DVD, or upload them to social media sites.
Power2Go 7 gives you the ability to burn your valuable files to Blu-ray (including triple and quad layer BDXL discs), DVD or CD media. With BDXL support, you can now back up your files with fewer discs than ever before.
Running out of hard drive space? With triple layer and quad layer BDXL media, you can store up to 128GB on a single disc. That's the equivalent of 27 single layer DVD discs or 15 dual layer DVD discs. And with up to 15x3 write speeds on BD-R media, you can do it fast.
The BDR-208EBK also has features such as PowerRead™, Auto Quiet mode, PureRead2, and QuickPlay. PowerRead4 can provide smoother movie playback when a disc has fingerprints or minor surface scratches.
Auto Quiet mode intelligently adjusts the disc rotation speed to reduce noise (useful while watching movies or listening to music), PureRead automatically adjusts drive parameters to minimize sound glitches during music playback, and QuickPlay reduces the time between inserting a disc and that disc being ready. For movies on DVD and Blu-ray, the disc is ready faster than with the BDR-207EBK.
