Media Player.

the keyboard (select models).

Playing DVD Movies with

InterVideo WinDVD

The InterVideo WinDVD program uses a DVD drive (select models only) to play

DVD movies.

1 Insert a DVD disc into the DVD drive.

NOTE: Most DVD movies are localized to geographical countries/regions. See

“Using country/region codes” on page 52.

NOTE: On a double-sided DVD, read the text around the inner hole of the

disc to determine which side (A versus B or Standard versus Widescreen) to

play. Place the disc in the tray with the label facing up for the side you want

to play.
