Playing a DVD
A Digital Versatile Disc (DVD) is similar to a standard CD but has greater data
capacity. Because of this increased capacity, full-length movies, several albums
of music, or several gigabytes of data can fit on a single disc. If your computer
has a DVD drive or a combination DVD/CD-RW drive, you can play DVDs
with the InterVideo DVD Player program or Windows Media Player. For more
information about playing DVDs, click
Help
in the DVD player program.
To play a DVD:
1
Make sure that the speakers are turned on or headphones are plugged in
and that the volume is turned up.
2
Turn off your screen saver and standby timers.
Important If the menu bar does not appear, click the show menu
bar
button.
