Using

the

DVD

Player

software

This

section

describes

how

to

use

and

customize

the

DVD

Player

software.

You

can

find

current

information

on

DVD

Player

software

in

the

readme

file

on

the

User’s

Guide

and

Software

CD.

Before

using

the

software

WinDVD

requires

a

compatible

video

device

driver

and

IDE

bus

mastering

in

order

to

work.

See

Appendix

C,

“Customizing

the

device

driver

configuration

settings,”

on

page

C-1

for

information

on

enabling

DMA

bus

mastering

and

for

locating

video

device

drivers.

Using

the

DVD

Player

When

you

insert

a

DVD

Video

disc

into

the

drive,

the

DVD

Player

software

will

automatically

start

and

begin

to

play

the

video

disc.

If

the

DVD

disc

contains

both

video

and

program

content,

the

program

content

will

automatically

play.

To

view

the

video

content

of

a

video/program

DVD

disc,

go

to

the

Start

menu,

launch

WinDVD

,

and

click

Play

.

With

Microsoft

Windows

XP,

you

can

also

play

DVD

Video

content

by

using

the

Windows

Media

Player

application.

Changing

the

DVD

region

code

Regionalization

and

Copy

Protection

(the

DVD

region

code)

uses

the

content

scramble

system

(CSS)

standard

to

prevent

unauthorized

duplication

of

the

intellectual

property

rights

distributed

on

DVDs.

It

was

originally

requested

by

the

Motion

Picture

Association

of

America

(MPAA)

to

address

video

piracy,

but

is

applicable

to

any

content.

CSS

works

by

inhibiting

the

transmission

of

unencrypted

data

without

proper

authorization.

Playback

systems

must

license

CSS

to

decode

the

encrypted

data.

The

CSS

specification

divides

the

world

into

seven

unique

regions.

Content

designated

for

one

region

cannot

be

read

by

playback

systems

in

another

region.

While

CSS

is

used

to

prevent

digital

copies

of

the

DVD

content,

another

technology

devised

by

Macrovision

is

used

to

prevent

analog

copies

of

the

DVD

content.

The

Macrovision

standard

is

a

scrambling

system

widely

used

by

the

movie

industry

to

prevent

unauthorized

duplication

of

video

content

using

commercial

VCRs.

DVD

playback

systems

must

support

both

CSS

and

Macrovision

copy

protection

standards.

The

first

time

that

you

insert

a

DVD

Video

disc

into

the

drive,

you

will

be

prompted

to

set

the

region.

If

you

relocate

to

a

different

region

of

the

world,

you

can

use

the

DVD

Player

software

to

change

the

region

code.
