In general, the suite’s modules are easy to use, though not so easy to learn. You can access Media Suite 10’s modules via a list of the tasks they perform, or by their names if you prefer. The look is reminiscent of Microsoft’s Metro interface, which suggests that CyberLink will be all over Windows 8.

Media Suite 10’s new central launch application is far slicker than those of previous versions. The suite ($130 for new users and a $70 upgrade for previous users, prices as of June 21, 2012) also includes PowerProducer 5.5 for outputting video to disc, as well as a competent wave editor and several modules for handling mundane optical-disc chores. The components consist of the biggest names in the company’s rather impressive portfolio: PowerDVD 12, a software multimedia player PowerDirector 10, a video editing and production application MediaShow 6, a photo organizer, editor, and social media interface PowerBackup 2.6 for safeguarding your important files and MediaEspresso 6.5 for transcoding video, photos, and audio. CyberLink Media Suite 10 Ultra is the latest flagship version of CyberLink’s all-in-one multimedia editing, playback, and file-conversion suite.
