PowerDVD Mobile from Cyberlink

[ArnoldC]

You folks should know this company. In our case every computer we bought then came with PowerDVD software, and now they're on Windows 8/RT.

I've been testing in on my Acer S3 and so far, I like what I see and feel, as I further explore it to make a purchase decision.

Yep, I still have a few older systems in the field with that on it - when it came as a free edition with the DVD drives.That was a long time ago. But it worked really well.

I would like to plug in my external DVD drive and watch DVDs and/or rip a DVD to the hard drive or USB key and watch that. I assume PowerDVD doesn't get me anywhere nearer this though...?

 

[ArnoldC]

On the RT no, due to the RT ignoring any external DVD/BD USB device.

Arnold did you try MKV playback? I tried this with my Windows 8 laptop back in October and it shows trial expired so I can't test it on RT. Also, the software didn't support RT back then.

Yes, I have Bridesmaid in MKV and it played nicely.

ps.

Played it on my Surface RT.
