Looking for some software to play blue ray films.
Would this Cyberlink PowerDVD Version 9 play the blueray films.
If yes. worth buying ?

I would not recommend Nero suite as it's very bloated and I don't like the way the decoders it installs as some of them take over your primary video/audio decoders.

PowerDVD9 supports BluRay just fine as long as your screen is connected via DVI/HDMI and HDCP is supported.

I thought it was only Ultra that supported bluray..

I don't own a player, so I don't know mind

Hmm their site is a little misleading as the main PowerDVD9 page says

"The Best Blu-ray/DVD Player Software Today

World-renowned PowerDVD 9 delivers outstanding Blu-ray and DVD movie playback quality on your PC. "

It should say PowerDVD 9 Ultra - but it would be weird for them to NOT support BluRay in all versions maybe they list it just to try to get you to buy the Ultra?

HDCP should be supported on your screen so no issues there. It's HD content protection (DRM)

Most people run anydvdhd alongside Powerdvd Ultra or TMT (both of these are players)

Anydvdhd removes the need for HDCP, and generally stops incompatibility issues
