Starting Windvd; Using Drag-To-Disc (Dla) - Lenovo ThinkPad User Manual

Start WinDVD by inserting the DVD into the drive. The region code is automatically set and you can
view the movie. This is the initial setting.
After the region code has been set, if you insert a DVD with a different region code, you are prompted to
change the region code. You can change the region code from your initial setting up to four times.
After the region code has been changed from its initial setting four times, it is fixed and can no longer be
changed. Thereafter, you can play DVD content only from that region.
To display the region code status, click the WinDVD Properties button on the WinDVD user interface.
The General tab contains this information.

Notes:
1. Your computer has been configured to provide the highest quality audio and video playback
obtainable with the available system resources. You can alter the default settings by changing the
video resolution setting within the Control Panel. Some systems do not have enough resources to
provide full-quality audio and video playback at all resolution settings. If you experience poor
playback performance, adjust the resolution to a lower setting.
2. Audio and video streams are decoded by software. The audio and video subsystems need to be fully
functional and enabled.
3. WinDVD does not enable DVD playback feature through Windows Media Player. After installing
WinDVD, DVD video may play back through Media Player, but audio will not.
