CyberLink Corp., the world’s leading consumer multimedia software company, today launched PowerDVD Live, the first subscription-based multimedia player with integrated cloud storage service. Users always get the most up-to-date version of PowerDVD, plus 10GB of cloud storage with the CyberLink Drive cloud storage service to sync media between PC and mobile devices.
PowerDVD Live is available via annual and quarterly subscription, starting at $14.99. Subscribers get the latest versions of PowerDVD Ultra during their subscription period, offering complete universal playback and DLNA features.

“With the rapid emergence of mobile technology, users are demanding instant access to all their media. A single hard drive on home PC is no longer enough. People want access to create, edit and view their photos, music and videos. They don’t care about platform limitations—they just want it to work, period. We are pleased to announce both our cloud and Live initiatives and this first offering, PowerDVD Live, in order to make this a reality,” said Alice H. Chang, CEO of CyberLink. “PowerDVD Live, in combination with our CyberLink Drive cloud storage service, solves the issue of connectivity, allowing users immediate access to their media for playback on the world's top selling media player.”
