Playing DVD movies

You can play DVD movies on your computer.
1. Insert the DVD.
Important! When you launch the DVD player for the first time, the
program asks you to enter the region code. DVD content is coded with
one of six regions. Please refer to the table below for DVD movie
region code information.
Once your DVD drive is set to a region code, it will play DVD discs
of that region only. You can set the region code a maximum of
five times (including the first time), after which the last region
code set will remain permanent. Recovering your hard disk does
not reset the number of times the region code has been set.
2. The DVD movie will automatically play after a few seconds.
