Appendix B: WinDVD v5 Installation
The enclosed WinDVD Version5 gives you the multi-channel support needed to play
encoded surround sound material such as Dolby Digital 5.1. With the proper settings,
WinDVD will decode that material and send it to the multi-channel outputs of your
Revolution 7.1.
To use WinDVD, you must have DirectX 8.1 installed in your System. If you have an older
version of DirectX, WinDVD will inform you that, “The setup program has detected that
you have an older version of Microsoft’s DirectX.” Click “Yes” to install DirectX 8.1. If your
System prompts you to restart your computer after installing DirectX, then do so.
Otherwise, proceed with the WinDVD installation.
To install WinDVD v5:
1. Insert the “Applications” CD into your CD drive and locate the “WinDVD”
folder. Run the setup application by double-clicking the “Setup” icon.
2. The “Welcome to WinDVD Setup” window will pop up. Click the “Next”
button.
3. A “License Agreement” box will pop up. Assuming that you agree with the
terms, click the “Yes” button on the bottom right hand corner.
4. WinDVD will ask you for User Information such as Name, Company
(optional) and Serial Number. Your serial number is located on the
Applications CD sleeve. After entering this information, click the “Next”
button.
5. The “Choose Destination Location” dialog box will pop up, asking you to
choose where you want to install WinDVD. Usually the default locations
are a good choice (if you want to choose another location, then “Browse”
to the desired location). Click “Next.”
6. The “Select Program Folder” box appears. WinDVD will create a folder for
you named “InterVideo WinDVD 5.” Click “Next.”
7. The “Setup Status” box informs you that it is installing the program to your hard drive.
8. The “File Types Association” window will pop up. If you want DVD video to
autoplay, or movie files such as mpegs (files with the .mpg extension) to
be played on WinDVD, then leave these boxes checked and click “Next.”
9. The “Third Party Application Setup” window will pop up. If you want
WinDVD to use Microsoft HTML Help, check the box and then click “Next.”
10. Now the Setup is complete. Select, “Yes, I want to restart my computer
now,” remove the Applications CD from the drive, and hit the “Finish”
button.
Setting Up the Revolution 7.1 in WinDVD:
1. Double-click the “Intervideo WinDVD 5” icon that is now located on the

hand corner. The “Audio” page of the Setup box will then pop up next to
