Since Microsoft's Windows Media Player found in Windows
8 OS does not support playback of DVD movies, AMD is
offering its users copies of Cyberlink's PowerDVD 12
software.
Windows 8 does not support DVD playback for protected
contented in its new version of Windows Media Player,
as it did for Windows 7. Microsoft cut this feature in
ordr to help reduce costs. DVD codecs, as they are
commonly referred, cost money to license. By reducing
the codecs included in Windows, Microsoft was able to
pass on the savings to the OEMs. However, because PC
buyers expect to be able to play DVD movies on their
PC, OEMs may want to include some level of playback
functionality for protected content on new PCs by
licensing 3rd party DVD playback software.
In an industry already challenged with thin margins,
this can pose a big problem for OEMs - especially those
small and midsize manufacturers who lack the volume
necessary to negotiate direct deals with major app
developers. In an effort to help OEMs source a
cost-effective DVD playback solution at an affordable
price, AMD has worked with CyberLink to offer its
latest PowerDVD media player - PowerDVD 12, which is
optimized for several AMD technologies, is available
today at a discounted price and reduced volume
requirements, through appAttach, a new digital
application distribution service which enables OEMs to
easily connect with app developers to find, transact
and manage preinstalled app deals over the Internet.
