Playing a DVD

A Digital Versatile Disc (DVD) is similar to a standard CD but has greater data
capacity. Because of this increased capacity, full-length movies, several albums
of music, or several gigabytes of data can fit on a single disc. If your notebook
has a DVD drive, you can play DVDs with the InterVideo DVD Player program
or Windows Media Player. For more information about playing DVDs, click
in the DVD player program.
To play a DVD:
1
Make sure that the speakers are turned on or headphones are plugged in
and that the volume is turned up.
