If you install the trial version, you can simply buy a serial number and activate-much easier than CyberLink PowerDirector, which makes you uninstall the trial and reinstall the full app. The setup also requires a reboot, but I was refreshed to find out that it didn't try to install irrelevant third-party software such as browser toolbars, as some competitors do. I had to allow it past my software firewall during installation, since it can act as a media server. It installed in just 2 minutes on my test PC, a Lenovo G580 laptop with 4GB RAM and integrated Intel HD Graphics 4000 running Windows 8. You can try it out as a full-featured 15-day trial. Setup TotalMedia Theatre is a quicker, smaller download file if you're getting it via the Web, at just 80MB. Though not quite as feature-laden as CyberLink's PowerDVD Ultra 13 (4.5 stars), it handled the media I tested it with more aplomb than Corel's WinDVD Pro 11 (2.5 stars) did, for the most part, and sported the simplest user interface of the lot. Anyway, in case you haven't heard about the death of the optical disc and still need or want to play a DVD or Blu-ray on your PC, you could do far worse than ArcSoft's TotalMedia Theatre 6. Technophiles love to say something or other is "dead." Funny, I still frequently see a lot of people reading "books" actually printed on paper. Best Hosted Endpoint Protection and Security Software.
