Those new features include 360-degree-video spatial audio (sounds emanate from the proper location in surround systems) color, lighting, and HDR TrueTheater enhancements for 4K video (these were formerly available only for 1080 video) an internal 64-bit engine for more precise processing support for external subtitles (streamed across the web) HEIC/HEIF and GIF image support and support for WebM, a free and open-source video codec (VP9/9.2 + Opus & VP9 + Vorbis).

Between the dearth of 8K displays and TVs (and the cost of what is available) and the fact that 8K content is virtually non-existent, PowerDVD 19 is a solution in search of a problem. Revving to version 19 results in the industry’s first 8K Ultra HD playback software for the PC. PowerDVD, the most powerful and complete video playback solution on the planet, is once again playing well ahead of the curve.
