Mobile Power Settings

If you are running CyberLink PowerDVD on a battery-powered notebook/laptop, you should always be aware of the battery power remaining. The Mobile Power settings in CyberLink PowerDVD help you to maximize battery power during playback and even stops playback if battery power falls to a specified level.

Power source

The Power source area displays the current power supply (battery or AC adapter) that your computer is using. If your power supply is the battery, CyberLink PowerDVD displays the remaining battery power.

Battery

If your notebook/laptop is running on a battery, use the Battery option to set the amount of battery power level at which CyberLink PowerDVD will stop playback automatically. Use the slider to set the percentage (3%-100%).

Power schemes

In the Power schemes section you can select a setting to maximize power usage and playback performance.

  • Maximum battery life: select this option to allow for longer play with a slight loss of performance.
  • Balanced: select this option for an even compromise between quality and performance.
  • Maximum performance: select this option for the best possible playback, but with a slightly shorter battery life.

LCD brightness

Configure your LCD brightness when playing content on a notebook/laptop that is running on a battery.
