Just weeks after Corel held a trophy high proclaiming that its WinDVD 8 had landed DTS-HD Master Audio certification, CyberLink is finally able to do the same. Except with its own breed of playback software, PowerDVD. For audiophiles the world over, you can now stop pacing in wonder of when said application will finally have this honor bestowed upon it, as that 7.1-channel goodness you've come to expect from DTS-HD MA can now be fully enjoyed on PowerDVD. Break out the Champagne? No? Okay.
Is this program able to play MTS video filetypes that AVCH camcorders create? I have PowerDVD and I'm not able to get the file to work and was wondering if I was doing anything wrong.
I believe you need PowerDVD 8 Ultra version to read AVCHD files.
I have PowerDVD 8 Ultra and it doesn't seem to be able to read the MTS file until I rename the file extension to MPG, at which point, it plays the video beautifully.
Until the restore the capability to play DVD/BR movies from a hard drive, there is no moving on for me.
