Computer Software Product Review: Cyberlink DVD Solution

Monday, October 13, 2008 |

Cyberlink DVD Solution has features that allow consumers to copy and burn videos, images and other files onto CD-R disks and DVDs. This product also allows users to watch DVDs on a desktop or laptop computer using Power DVD. Although Cyberlink DVD Solution is easy to use, this product can be very aggravating. The menus and buttons for this product are self-explanatory. Each selected task has easy instructions that are very helpful for consumers that are not tech savvy.

One good thing about Cyberlink DVD Solution is the design and ease of use. It is not a complicated product to use if you want to burn a few CD collections of Beyonce or back up files on your computer. The layout is easy to maneuver through and follow the instructions. However, Cyberlink DVD Solution can be very slow when burning a CD or DVD. This only occurs when it can actually burn a DVD. This computer software product cannot easily read all DVDs that are authored elsewhere.

Some schools and companies use Power DVD for various tasks. I have tried to copy a DVD using Cyberlink DVD Solution and have encountered problems. After appearing to copy and burn one movie onto a blank DVD-R, this program was not able to do so. The original DVD was authored using a stand-alone DVD Recorder and Macintosh computer. Therefore, consumers who plan on copying DVDs should research the compatible formats with Cyberlink DVD Solution before purchasing this product.

Another problem with Cyberlink Solution is with its sidekick program, Power DVD. This computer software program is used to watch DVD movies and videos on home computers. Many times than none, Power DVD freezes up or causes movies to skip. It creates an unpleasant viewing experience. Many computer software products freeze or skip sometimes. However, this should not happen frequently. Frequent viewing problems are the case with Power DVD. It causes one to close the program and use other video programs to watch movies.

In these cases, it may be best to just watch a DVD movie on a regular DVD player and skip the computer viewing altogether. The only thing that Cyberlink DVD Solution seems to be good for is copying photos and files onto CD-R or DVD-R disks. Any other task will cause absolute stress. With the availability or more reliable computer products, this is not worth it. Unless Cyberlink DVD Solution is provided for free, it is not worth the time or stress. Even if you can get it for free, there is not much that can be done with the product because of the many glitches.

Cyberlink DVD Solution is a nicely designed program. It is also easy to use for average consumers and home computer owners. However, it takes too much time and effort to watch a movie using Power DVD. Cyberlink DVD Solution also causes too much aggravation when trying to decide which DVD movie is compatible enough to copy with the program. This can be a good product to use as a backup, but not as your main choice for DVD viewing, burning and copying.
