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, 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.
