movies on your Versa notebook.

Features
The DVD-ROM drive offers many improvements over the standard CD-ROM technology including superior
video and audio playback, faster data access, and greater storage capacities. The drive uses the latest DVD
technology which reads from specially designed DVD discs as well as standard audio and video CDs.
If your computer is equipped with a DVD drive, you can watch feature length films wherever your computer
may be!
The DVD Player allows you to watch DVD films on your computer. DVD films offer a range of advantages
over VHS or laser disk formats, for instance:
DVD titles are divided into several chapters allowing easy retrieval.
Parental control allows lockout of content that is not appropriate for children.
Choice between several languages (up to 8) for dialogue and subtitles.
Full support for several video standards.
Multi-angle support for scenes filmed with different cameras.
