To play DVD movies on your Notebook, you need a DVD
playback software program, such as CyberLink's award-
winning PowerDVD. To play DVD movies using this software,
insert a movie DVD into the DVD-ROM or DVD-RW drive,
then click Start, then All Programs and select PowerDVD.
In spite of the high storage capability of the DVD, the data
must be extremely compressed in order for a complete fea-
ture film to be stored. This extreme compression combined
with exceptional picture quality is provided by the MPEG2
image coding method on the DVD. This places high demands
on the Notebook's processor, so when playing a DVD please
close all other applications. To increase Notebook perform-
ance, you may also wish to purchase a plug-in MPEG2 de-
coder card, which has its own decompression processor and
will thus free the Notebook's processor.
NOTE: The decoding software included with your
Notebook may be changed for regional DVD decoding
up to five times, after which the drive will only play
DVD movies for the region setting last entered.
