CyberLink Announces Linux HD Video Player
Posted By:  Steve Lake on 10/10/2008 at 07:30am

It appears that Cyberlink will be making it's famous PowerDVD player available for Linux very soon.  Given the general scarcity of good dvd players under Linux, it'll be a welcome addition.  Well, at least until some other open source projects produce their own better versions.
