Chapter 4: Using the DVD Station
The DVD Station is a versatile Windows utility that allows you to
play a variety of DVD, Video CD, and CD formats. This section
describes how to use the DVD Station to play full-length feature films
recorded in the DVD and Video CD formats, and data CDs contain-
ing MPEG files and also Audio CDs. The DVD Station will automat-
ically detect the format of the disc in your DVD drive and identify the
file type in the Display Panel. The DVD Station can also detect
MPEG files in your CD-ROM and hard drives.
Your DVD drive must be DVD compliant to be able to play DVD-
Video and DVD-ROM. Check the owner’s manual for your DVD
drive to make sure your DVD drive meets these requirements before
attempting to play DVD discs.
