This makes it possible for users to simply cast the video being watched on a PC or notebook using PowerDVD 18 for playback on a TV to which the target media streamer is attached. In addition to the existing support for Roku, Apple TV, and Chromecast, CyberLink has also added Fire TV to the mix. PowerDVD 18 also improves on support for 'casting' devices. This is thanks to the addition of VP 9.2 support (the codec used in the WebM HDR files). PowerDVD 18 addresses that with support for YouTube HDR playback. While PowerDVD 17 could play back HDR Blu-ray titles, it unfortunately didn't support HDR from online sources such as YouTube. On the home-theater front, PowerDVD 18 brings the ability to play back Blu-ray titles on non-16:9 displays without letterboxing. While the major features - UltraHD Blu-ray playback and support for virtual reality head-mounted devices (VR HMDs) - remains essentially the same, the company has introduced a number of interesting value additions.

CyberLink made PowerDVD 18 official a few weeks back.

We also took it for a hands-on test drive in our article on building a 4K home-theater PC setup.
