To play movies on DVDs:
It is easy to play movies on your Mercury.
Place the DVD in the CD/DVD drive. In most cases, the movie will start automatically. If the movie DVD
also contains computer files, you may be prompted to install them. If you do not wish to install the
computer files, cancel those options.
If the movie on the DVD does not automatically play, double-click the WinDVD icon on
the Mercury desktop.
When WinDVD starts up, the DVD will play and the WinDVD Player shown below will appear. WinDVD
offers many ways to view and control DVD movies. The diagram below shows the functions of the main
buttons, along with their keyboard equivalent commands. For complete details on how to use WinDVD
and the functions of all buttons, click the WinDVD Help button.
