10.2. Playing/reading discs

PLEASE NOTE!
Some discs start automatically when they are inserted.
This depends on the operating system and the corre-
sponding settings.
The optical drive on your PC is capable of playing audio CDs, DVD films or data
discs. Once a disc has been loaded, a dialogue box opens containing various play-
back options. Normally, there will be a number of different options available.
Playback of DVD film titles includes decoding MPEG2 video, digital AC3 audio data
and decoding CSS-protected content. CSS (sometimes also referred to as Copy
Guard) is the name of a data protection program used by the film industry to pro-
tect against illegal copying. Among the many controls for CSS licensees, the most
important of the playback restrictions involve country-specific content. To make it
easier to create geographically separate film releases, DVD titles are coded for spe-
cific regions.
Copyright laws required that each DVD film be limited to a specific region (usually
the region where it is sold). DVD film versions can be published in multiple regions
but CSS rules require that each CSS decoder system may only be used for one re-
gion.
