Cyberlink Corp. has released the retail version of the PowerDVD Ultra application in Germany. The software, which is a player for the HD DVD and Blu-ray Disc (BD) optical disc formats, was released online on Christmas Eve 2006. With optimized hardware acceleration for graphics processors, and compatibility with leading HD DVD and Blu-ray Disc drives, PowerDVD Ultra delivers the ultimate high-definition movie experience on both desktop and notebook computers.

"We're proud to announce the launch of CyberLink PowerDVD Ultra in European stores," said Alice H. Chang, CEO of CyberLink. "HD DVDs and Blu-ray Discs really do offer a totally new entertainment experience, and PowerDVD Ultra provides all the features necessary to make the most of the latest high-definition disc content."



The online version of PowerDVD Ultra initially released allowed users to either install a HD DVD player or Blu-ray player, but has been replaced by a single dual-format player. Consumers who bought the online version before February 15 can request a free replacement with the latest online version.
