Get the functionality of the media playback specialist. So we'll have to wait and see what they (BDA) decide on the DRM for these discs if Intel is abandoning SGX.CyberLink PowerDVD 21 Pro for your favorite movies in cinema quality As the other user said, it isn't Powerdvd deciding this, it is the Blu-ray Association. If you look at the system requirements for the new version, it hasn't changed for UHD playback.

I like it and am using it all the time for the music and videosI have on my computer. So far it looks like most of the new features are in the sharing features, which are signifcantly improved. I got the update because I'm a 365 subscriber. It is a game that operated by those giant companies in the movie industry.

I'm afraid It is just not helpful to discuss the concern here in cyberlink user forum. To be honest, if you really want to do something about this concern, you should contact 'Blu-ray disc association' as a customer who purchased 4k blu-ray discs, and discuss this compatibiltiy fact with them. I think Cyberlink is just a small PC software player maker, who has to follow the 'Blu-ray disc association's rule that restricts the disc playback from being played on non-Intel SGX PCs, and not for new Intel PCs any more.

It is very clear that Hollywood studios don't want users to play their discs on Windows PC since the 4k blu-ray playback solution first released on PC as it was when the cracking started. That only leaves a small set of devices that can play UHD disks legitimately.

Has anything changed (or are there any planned changes) with UHD BluRay playback under Windows 10? New Intel chips and all AMD chips don't support SGX. What are the advantages of upgrading to PowerDVD 21 for someone who currently owns PowerDVD 20? Quote There doesn't seem to be a comparison anywhere and the features sound the same on the surface.
