DVD

DVD is the breakthrough in superb full-motion picture playback. One disc can
contain at least 4.7GB of information, capable of holding one full-length
movie with soundtracks, subtitles, and different languages. Much more, the
DVD-ROM drive of your computer is backward compatible with CD-ROM
drive so it allows you to use any CD as well. It also works the same as the CD-
ROM.

To playback DVD titles, you would need a software MPEG-2 program and the
DVD-ROM drive at least. Your Notebook computer has installed Windows
XP for operation system and its Windows Media Player supports DVD’s
playback..
