has anyone tried?
I have. Here's what I ran into:
The requirements to run the new PowerDVD are very specific and require Kaby Lake hardware or better with Intel graphics and a motherboard that supports Intel SGX, HDCP 2.2, Advanced protected Audio/Video Path and HDR. I built a new CPU that has all the power to support 4K UHD using a Skylake processor, x299 chipset, Pioneer BDR-211UBK and Nvidia 1080. It won't work due to the Intel graphics requirement and the motherboard does not support the Intel protocols. I can watch a streamed 4k version on HULU or any streaming just fine. Can't play the 4K Discs. I get the following error from AnyDVD:

Cyberlink has a program that will tell you if your computer is 4K capable (Ultra HD Blu Ray Advisor). My results are in the attached file...
