Updated to bloatware

Pros: PowerDVD 7 was the latest evolution of the world acclaimed DVD software program that offers maximum video and audio playback entertainment on the PC.

Cons: PowerDVD 8 adds software bloat from unwanted features like MoovieLive, MovieRemix and has many annoying limitations that version 7 did NOT have:

a) PDVD 8 Player size restriction. It's relatively huge in vertical/horizontal size

b) With PDVD 8, you're forced to see a "Resume Movie" every time.

c) PowerDVD 8 has only one big ugly skin. PowerDVD 7.3 has some nice discrete hi-tech skins to download.

Why can't the software developers just add new features and bloatware as OPTIONS and not screw up a good working old version?

Anyone can download a file to crack your files

Pros: Hide folder, make it invisible until a valid password is entered;

Password-protect folder, allow only authorized users to open it;

Operate in the stealth mode, invisibly to other users;

* Quick access to the protected folder via a hot key, etc;

Cons: If you forget your password, or someone else wants to unprotect your files, simply run the Emergency Recovery Utility, available for free download from the developers web site, and it will unprotect your files for you.

What is the purpose of the program if anyone can download a file that will remove all protection from your files? I guess this program is designed to protect your 12-year old from your 16-year old.

This is NOT Freeware

Pros: Not worth the price they are asking for the full version key.

Cons: This is donationware. You must have a free temporary key to use this software. You have to buy a full version to get a permanent key.
