CyberLink Power2Go is a multimedia disc burning and backup application that integrates authoring, encryption, and media conversion in one platform. The software launches with a file selection process that enables drag-and-drop burning to optical discs or removable storage. The tool supports data, video, and audio content, which are organized internally into structured formats before being routed to disc output. 

It also contains a disc authoring module that builds DVD and Blu-ray layouts with menus and templates. The backup feature of CyberLink Power2Go encrypts data with 256-bit encryption and directs content to either disc or USB media for secure storage.

Burn, convert, and protect

CyberLink Power2Go features a framework for creating movie discs with menu editing tools and structured authoring features. The disc authoring module arranges files into chapters, titles, and menus with premium templates and background audio. It also organizes all your multimedia content into the correct formats for both DVD and Blu-ray, simplifying the entire process for playback on disc players. However, it lacks advanced editing tools.

Disc authoring can convert video, audio, and image files by changing their encoding and compression to fit the requirements of mobile devices or disc playback. This module accepts multiple source file types and applies reformatting to generate compatible outputs. The process is contained within the application and creates standalone media files prepared for use across a variety of supported playback environments.

Another key component is its backup functionality, which you can use to archive files, folders, or system images to optical media or USB drives. The program utilizes military-grade encryption to secure the data, so you can create on-demand, retrievable archives. The encryption and backup system functions independently of the disc authoring tools, focusing solely on safeguarding file integrity and security.

Bottom Line

Authoring, conversion, and backup

CyberLink Power2Go contains modules for disc burning, media conversion, backup and encryption, and authoring with templates. Its operations focus on creating, converting, and securing data or media outputs.
