PowerDVD 9 feature highlights include the new TrueTheater
Technology, which is offering DVD up-scaling to HD-like quality
Cinema Mode for watching Blu-ray Discs via Windows Media Center.
It is a suite of advanced video and audio enhancement technologies
such as the "TrueTheater HD" that up-scales DVD video for HD-like
results and the "TrueTheater Motion" that up-converts DVD video
frame rates for smoother playback. In additon, the "TrueTheater
Stretch" technology stretches video without image distortion,
while the "TrueTheater Lighting" enhances video image for a
brighter, clearer movie. Last but not least, the "TrueTheater
Surround" creates multichannel audio output for conventional
stereo speakers.
