Playing Video CDs and DVDs with WinDVD

InterVideo WinDVD is an application that enables you to play
DVD movies or video CDs. WinDVD is preloaded, but not
preinstalled, on the notebook.

Installing WinDVD

HP recommends that you install WinDVD from the Software
Setup utility before inserting a DVD.
✎
Some DVDs contain third-party DVD player programs such as
PCFriendly. If you insert a DVD that contains a third-party player
program before you have installed WinDVD, you are prompted to
install that third-party player program and not WinDVD. If you
prefer to install WinDVD, decline the third-party player
installation, usually by pressing No, Cancel, or Exit, then closing
the installation window.
To install WinDVD from the Software Setup utility, go to
Start > Software Setup. A setup wizard loads, and a list of
applications is displayed. Select WinDVD and follow the
instructions on the screen.

Understanding DVDs

In addition to the instructions in the WinDVD Player Help file,
the following tips may be helpful:
I
If your system includes an optional Port Replicator, dock or
undock the notebook before starting a DVD (not while
playing a DVD).

For best playback quality, save your files and close all open
applications before playing a DVD.
