Leawo Blu-ray Player has the ability to not only play video and audio in 180+ digital formats, but also play them with the best original quality retained even for the 1080P and 4K HD videos. To watch movies (certain Ultra HD Blu-ray/Blu-ray/DVD movies apply this aspect ratio) on an ultra-wide 21:9 monitor, use the Crop-to-fill feature to crop out the black areas on. Although it’s a completely free media player, its media playback function is nothing less than Cyberlink PowerDVD. You should also consider not updating the OS (e.g., upgrading to Windows 11) and related Intel drivers to the latest versions in order to keep the Intel SGX feature from being removed from your PC. CyberLink PowerDVD 18 now includes the Crop to fill feature that supports zooming the video to full screen seamlessly without distortion by cropping the excessive parts. So much so, that it has been determined that it is no longer feasible for CyberLink to support the Ultra HD Blu-ray playback on newer CPUs and the latest Windows platforms.įor users who use an older compatible platform and want to keep the Ultra HD Blu-ray playback compatibility on the PC and with PowerDVD, we suggest you continue using the 7th - 10th generation Core i series of Intel CPUs and motherboards that support the Intel SGX feature.
The removal of the SGX feature, and its compatibility with the latest Windows OS and drivers, has caused a substantial challenge for CyberLink to continue supporting Ultra HD Blu-ray movie playback in our player software. These changes could make these platforms lose support for Ultra HD Blu-ray movie disc playback. The Intel SGX feature has been removed from Intel 11th generation (or newer) CPUs, and support for SGX may be removed at some point on the new versions of Intel drivers or utility programs (e.g., the Intel SGX and Intel Management Engine driver and firmware). The Intel Software Guard Extensions (Intel SGX) feature is a requirement on the CPU and motherboard firmware to play the DRM (digital right management) content on Ultra HD Blu-ray movie discs on a Windows platform.
