This is the Remote Control service for Cyberlink's PowerDVD software. It is installed along with PowerDVD and runs in the background, permitting you to use a remote control unit to select features within PowerDVD. It is not needed unless you are using a remote control, in which case obviously you should keep it running.http://www.neuber.com/taskmanager/process/pdvdserv.exe.html

All comments about PDVDServ.exe:
rate1 Background Manager for Power DVD 6.0   xi-wan-fu
rate1 Remote Control background application for CyberLink\'s PowerDVD version 5 and above. Enables you to use a remote control with your DVD drive if your drive came with one. Not required if you don\'t have a remote control, or don\'t wish to use one   overcloked
rate2 This program was included {with others from Cyber Link for my DVD} when I bought my new notebook ...and IMHO it APPEARS to be a harmless program for my DVD player/Recorder. Does anyone else have more info? Thank you.  See also: Link   Deb

rate5 Its double purpose. !.Remote Control Driver (harmless)  
rate2 Prevents my screensaver to start on my Winsows XP Pro system. Screensaver run fine as soon as PDVDServ.exe is eliminated as a startup item in MSCONFIG.   Ralf Lenkler
rate3 Slows down system while it polls for remote control. Does nothing.   Dac
rate0 NOT "totally harmless"!! This file may block your screensaver from kicking in under XP pro. Good way to burn up your monitor if you are not careful. After much trial and error with disabling indivicual processes I found that PDVDServ.exe was responsible for preventing my (standard XP) screensaver from running.

rate3 Conflicts with Mircrosft Intellitpoint software and screensaver will not load   manolo
rate1 PDVDServ.exe is a process belonging to PowerDVD which allows a user to plug in a remote control. This program is non-essential process to the running of the system, but should not be terminated unless suspected to be causing problems.   Scott
rate1 Power DVD Remote Control service   ScatsWhaHae
rate1 Cyberlink plug-in that allows a user to use a remote control. Caused my primary CD\DVD burner not to read disks. Disabled in MSCONFIG and all alright again   kamot
rate3 I also have problems with conflict with screensaver   DeputyBill
rate3 It's hard to remove, despite of have been deleted from RUN key of registry, it starts again, I do not how   MAD-Max
rate1 Causes swing hesitation in Tiger Woods 07   Jeff Graham
rate1 I'm using WinXP Pro SP2 and this files does not interfere with the screensaver or anything else.   Martin
rate3 Prevents my screen saver from activating in Win XP Pro   Bill
rate4 delete it from the startup location within windows registry-prevents screensaver from working and disable some power management settings when used with microsoft intellipoint software.  
rate1 This is a process belonging to PowerDVD. Be not scared this process is not dangerous, but can slow down the system (if any screensavers need to have more space you can terminate it)   GC
rate1 It is totally useless for computer mounted DVD players unless you have a remote controller for yours   Richard Hudon
rate0 This program/file disabled my screen saver function. Once I deleted it from the start up my screen saver worked. Maybe it has something to do with the fact I am using a wireless mouse and keyboard?   Ron
rate0 p2p networking  
rate3 If you do want to keep PDVDServ and also making your screensave works, disconnect your wireless keyboard and use weired keyboard instead.  
rate1 Part of PowerDVD.. When i uninstalled PowerDVD it disappeard to.. So i would say its absolutely harmless  
rate2 is power dvd 6.0 Background  See also: Link   jack
rate2 Not necessary, can be loaded when DVD reader/writer is loaded. Takes up about 4 K memory.   Curtis
rate3 Pretty harmless but associated with Logitech G15 Software and Teamspeak causes a 2 sec system hangup and increased processor use leading to lower gaming performance  See also: Link   MBA
rate1 Came preloaded with my new Acer computer. Therefore probably not dangerous if you know that it's the real one by that name   Ben Wade
rate4 Disable using msconfig to allow screensaver to function when using Microsoft wireless keyboard and mouse.   Billy
rate0 Causes Medal of Honor Airborne Demo to be extremely slow - unplayable.   jim
rate1 Power DVD. Harmless   Cookie Monster
rate5 This one messes with some programs and games, don't expect to run games like Gears of War and DOSbox with this one.   Härpäke
rate0 Power DVD file....Not essential   SVELTOS
rate1 Another software reminder About new updates for this software  See also: Link   Ralph E. Hughes
rate1 This also conflicts with Mass Effect. Caused the startup to virtually stop on my system. Terminating this process fixed the problem.   Kane Devaid
rate1 Some DVD applications will not run without it once you upgreade to Internet Explorer 8   Friedhay
rate3 Appears to lock files and then uTorrent throws and error   TSellers
rate3 On my system it is installed in the folder C:\Program Files\Roxio\Roxio DVDMax Player so it can be present on a system where no applcations from Cyberlink are installed.   RH
rate4 It requested internet access through uorrent, when I blocked it I could no longer browse to facebook, google or yahoo until I allowed it to access again. Why should a remote control program need internet access and why would blocking it cause websites to be blocked?   Kitiara
rate1 Pretty much ZERO usefulness, other than to use up CPU cycles! I've ALWAYS been able to use a remote w/ PowerDVD WITHOUT this running!   geo
rate2 Run on my computer
