Suffice it to say, v19 is the final version supporting 3D video playback, with it discontinued with v20, absent in v21, and now also absent in the newly released v22. They give some lame excuse for why they removed this ALREADY EXISTING CODE from their package, but it really doesn't hold water, as far as I'm concerned. I have a 3D capable monitor and a large collection of 3D movies, and have been able to watch them consistently on my main workstation for a long time now. I was very disappointed to learn that they REMOVED the "3D Blu Ray" support code from the package, however. It's capable of playing ALMOST every form of media out there, these days. Today's versions are full-featured media centers, with vast arrays of internet-based features, streaming support, links to "reviewing sites" where you can link, share, read and write your own reviews and articles. The early versions were just software to play DVD movies on your computer. We're now up to v22, and things have changed over the years. I've been using PowerDVD, in various versions, since v3, waaay back in the 90s. They also offer other software and are starting to get into the video recognition software market as well. FYI another good reason to get this brand is they will be around in the future. I was able to install it then I registered it and ran an update online from the website.

As far as I know, the software only works on one computer.

My only gripe is that it would have been nice to also install this on my Desktop so that I could use it in my office when I am not using it on my laptop. The interface is high quality and nothing cheesy about this software. There are educational discounts available if you are a student, teacher, or staff member of a school or university so you may want to consider that for additional savings. There are other benefits as well though I mainly got it to play content on my Windows 10 laptop. One thing that I think it handled for me was some people reported region incompatibility issues with the particular player I purchased and perhaps this software solved that issue for me automaticlaly not sure but with this software my budget DVD Bluray played perfectly out of the box. True you may only need it to decode DVD's and Blu-ray discs but the software seems to work and install very well.

Okay just want to mention that $65 is not that much to spend on a quality software utility like this.
