Playing Video CD
Slideshows
Slideshows that are recorded onto video CDs
(VCDs) cannot be played in Windows Media
Center. You can play them in the InterVideo
WinDVD program.
Windows Media Center can play your recorded
DVDs and VCDs that don't have slideshows.
Playing Recorded TV
Programs
Most television broadcasters do not encrypt
programs, so a recording can be played on any
Media Center PC. A recording of a broadcaster-
encrypted TV program, though, can be played
only on the PC that recorded it. To protect your
ability to play recorded TV programs, follow the
instructions in "Safeguarding Your Recorded TV
Programs" in this document.
Note:
To copy a recorded TV show to DVD to view
on a home DVD player, see "Copying Recorded
TV Programs to DVD."
For information on playing recorded TV
programs on other devices, go to the Web site:

Safeguarding Your Recorded
TV Programs
When you record TV programs using Media
Center, the TV program broadcaster may have
an encryption code that Microsoft includes as a
special code in the recorded files. This code is
keyed to your PC and is required to play
broadcaster-encrypted TV programs previously
recorded to your hard disk drive, copied to DVD,
or copied to other media. When you perform a
system recovery or replace the hard disk drive in
your PC, you lose the special code.
