PowerDVD 10 3D Ultra Brings 3D Blu-rays to Your PC[teaser]Not using a Nvidia card for your HTPC? There’s still hope. [/teaser] Nvidia’ 3DTV Play software brings your PC into the 3D realm. It lets you watch 3D Blu-rays, and adds support for 3D gaming as well, but it only works with Nvidia graphics cards. If you’re using anything else, it’s just not going to work. Of course, CyberLink isn’t going to leave you hanging. If you’re using an Intel G45, Radeon HD 2400, Geforce 8800GT or better, you can get full 3D playback using PowerDVD 10 3D Ultra. In addition to 3D Blu-ray playback, PowerDVD 10 also sports TrueTheater 3D technology, which converts 2D movies into 3D. Of course, the program is fully compatible with all forms of 3D displays and all 3D file formats, so you don’t need to worry about compatibility. PowerDVD 10 3D Ultra can be had for $99. If you picked up PowerDVD 10 Mark II, you’re in luck, because you’ll get a free upgrade later this Summer. Source: CyberlinkPosted Tue Mar 23, 2010 at 07:00 AM PDT by: -

These Are Not Blockbuster Times for Blockbuster[teaser]The video rental giant may have to file for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy, according to a recent SEC filing. [/teaser] In its annual report, Blockbuster stated that it may no longer be able to continue without filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. The report stated that “increasingly competitive industry conditions" raise "substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.” While Netflix and Redbox are taking a chunk of business from the company, it’s Video on Demand rentals that Blockbuster cites as the biggest competition. After a year where consumers rented more than ever – according to Sony co-chair Michael Lynton – Blockbuster lost nearly 20% of revenue. As a reaction to the report, Blockbuster is planning to slash over $200 million in costs, including the closing of over 500 stores. After the 572 stores closed last year, another 500 will bring them down to 6,000 worldwide, and as few as 3,500 in the US. Blockbuster will also attempt to adapt through imitation by increasing the amount of Blockbuster Express kiosks floating around. This certainly isn’t the end for Blockbuster, but it looks like that end may not be far off. The days of leaving the house to rent a movie are over for a lot of people, and Blockbuster has been slow to adapt. Source: VarietyPosted Mon Mar 22, 2010 at 11:05 AM PDT by: -
