Cinema

If your computer came with a DVD drive, you can play movies from DVDs and Video CDs (VCDs) with the Cinema function of Aspire Arcade. This player has the features and controls of a typical living room DVD player.

When you insert a disc into the DVD drive, the movie begins playing automatically. To control the movie, the pop-up player control panel appears at the bottom of the window when you move the mouse.

If more than one optical drive contains a playable disc, click the Cinema button on the Home page to open the Cinema content page - then select the disc from the list on the right you’d like to watch.

When viewing DVDs, the following special controls are added to the pop-up panel:

DVD Menu

Subtitle

Language

Angle

The currently playing disc will be shown in the area above the list of drives. This page is also displayed when you press the “Stop” button during a movie. The buttons on the left side allow you to resume the movie from the point it was stopped, restart the movie from the begin- ning, jump to the DVD menu, eject the disc, or go to the DVD Settings page.

DVD settings

There are two types of DVD settings - “Video” and “Language.” Click the appropriate button to open its settings page.

Video

The Video settings control the video output of DVDs/VCDs.

“Use hardware acceleration” takes advantage of the special processing power in some graphics cards to reduce CPU loading when playing back DVDs and some video files. If you have problems with video qual- ity, try turning this option “Off.”

Select an output type:

4:3 Standard or 16:9 Widescreen according to your display preferences
